Flashback: In August 2010, President Midas Touch Scrapped Tougher Bush-Era Quarantine Rules Designed to Halt Spread of Epidemics

...Flash forward to April 2010, after Obama became president, and reviewed the 2005 rules. He “quietly” dumped them.[http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/washington/2010-04-01-quarantine_N.htm]
The Obama administration has quietly scrapped plans to enact sweeping new federal quarantine regulations that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention touted four years ago as critical to protecting Americans from dangerous diseases spread by travelers.
The regulations, proposed in 2005 during the Bush administration amid fears of avian flu, would have given the federal government additional powers to detain sick airline passengers and those exposed to certain diseases. They also would have expanded requirements for airlines to report ill passengers to the CDC and mandated that airlines collect and maintain contact information for fliers in case they later needed to be traced as part of an investigation into an outbreak.
Airline and civil liberties groups, which had opposed the rules, praised their withdrawal....
Time to stop the hindsight-based, partisan blame game. If Biden was saying that the virus is not the bubonic plague-like catastrophe that his own party later claimed it to be, why should he be blamed for unwittingly telling the truth? The same with de Blasio. Even a Democrat sometimes gets it right.
Are Biden and Penlosi THAT dumb? (rhetorical question)
They say Trump is doing a miserable job.....
NO ONE is stopping Nanzi and Slo-Joe from giving Americans the benefit of THEIR “great ideas”.......
IF they have them........cackle.
