As a soldier, I volunteered to spend my time in a tent, even in sub-zero conditions with no heat for weeks on end. It was a known part of my job, and I actually enjoyed it if you must know.

The subject of an involuntary quarantine did not sign up for such treatment. What are the limits on state authority in these cases? I would say that based on contemporary norms, you provide a similar lifestyle to what that person would otherwise enjoy, and ensure they are paid if they miss work, and that they can't be fired due to the quarantine. Moreover, quarantine can only be imposed under specified conditions, which are typically showing symptoms of a known epidemic, with some means of due process. Since she is not showing symptoms, I'm not surprised she is challenging this in the courts- someone needs to. I understand the concern and desire to protect the public, but I don't think that any conservative wants a government who can throw you in a dank cell with no requirement to substantiate the charges for an indefinite period with no due process either. We ALWAYS need to think about the unintended consequences and how this can be misused by the left- we on the right have made this mistake far too many times when yielding our rights to government. I think it is good that this is going through the courts, personally.

If tents are legal for prisoners, why not for her?

Sheriff Arpaio, there is a nurse on line One who has a question about tents.

Hickox is a modern day Typhoid Mary.

The old Shelter half shared by two men, was perfectly designed for misery in wet, winter conditions.

When it rained you became soaked, including the cheap little feather sleeping bag that would remain wet, so you were wet in your bag all your clothes were wet, the ground under you was muddy and soaked, and the tent didn't even prevent you from getting directly rained on because every place on the inside of the canvas that you touched, became a small fountain of water pouring through.

Many of us would just quit bothering with them, and just sleep in the rain when we were exausted.

They were tiny, so soon after entering they were dripping all over from the contact with the canvas, so it was cold mud under you and water running on you, while you just waited for the day to start so that you could escape the nightmare.

It seems to me she got an education and earned a nursing degree, it’s just a shame they don’t teach common sense in nursing school.

Of course they are surely taught the nursing profession is about healing and preventing spread of disease, she must have missed those classes or she can’t be bothered with that part of the job.

During WWII, and the fall of th Phillipines, to the Japanese, the nurses and their patients had to flee into the jungles. The few tents they had, were used to protect paperwork and files (not wounded servicemen or nurses). The patients and nurses slept under the elements, until they were eventually captured by the Japanese.
