In time of epidemic, the Public Health Agency becomes the most authoritarian government department. They have the authority to order the police, and even the military, to follow their orders.
As necessary, their directives come at the barrel of a gun. If they order a city quarantined (though this almost invariably happens too late), this means armed guards with orders to “shoot to stop” any effort at breaking the quarantine.

That is very detailed information about what happens when we quarantine entire American cities, too bad that now you admit that we have never done that in America.

Why be telling us such details, when they aren't real?

You have trolled me before on other threads with irrational arguments, yet I have endeavored to be polite. But at this point I am no longer interested in being sported for your entertainment. Please no longer reply to my postings, and I will try to ignore you as well.

Post 21 is simple enough, just as you retreating into saying “troll” and getting personal, is a clear enough follow up to your dishonest post that it challenged.

I didn’t do a preppers ping on this when I posted it, but I thought some of you might like to read it. This is what was done for the Spanish Flu which only had a mortality rate of 2.5%

According to NBC news, the individuals who have Ebola are destined for Emory University hospital.

It seems adequate to handle the situation BUT!!

There are ONLY FOUR that’s right FOUR hospitals in the US who have this type of quarantine.

That all, folks.
FOUR!!!

I would say that the government has proven itself to be corrupt and incompetent; and the people in government have proven themselves to be motivated solely by self-interest.

Who would voluntarily subject themselves to quarantine by such people?

You were talking about an era in which people have ‘a bit’ more common sense and can use reasoning/logic.

Today we have inner city zombies, some, with the aid of Obamaphones, will gladly act flash mob on a new tweet of rumor.

Your’re kidding right?Our so called leaders would have us all dead before violating their PC values.

Not kidding. Our leaders think they only need to be protected so that when everyone else dies they can continue their rule in the manner they are accustomed. In other words, screw us!
