There is little difference in assuming that the crew of a ship may be infected and in assuming that those who have associated with an infected person might also be infected.

We were talking about the current quarantining of healthy people, and now you're talking about something different. If the policy right now was to ask anyone who associated with an infected person to be quarantined, you'd have a point.

But they are demanding an across-the-board, every single man woman and child, stay home or we'll all die quarantine where almost every business and organization is shut down, in every part of the country, whether the people involved have "associated" with an infected person or not. And even after months now of the evidence that this disease is even less dangerous than the flu, THEY HAVEN'T SHOWN THE SLIGHTEST INTEREST IN CHANGING THE POLICY. In fact, a lot of governors and idiots such as Fauci and Gates are talking about extending these policies for a year or more.

The Spanish Flu killed almost 200,000 Americans in a single month. THAT was a problem, and a good reason to impose severe restrictions. We have yet to reach even 1/5 of that in at least a 4 month period, and the vast majority of our deaths are elderly people who had existing life-threatening health problems.

There really is no comparison here between any of the plagues previous to now and this COVID hysteria.

That is a gross exaggeration. There is no jurisdiction that has required every single person to stay home. In all jurisdictions business are still open. One can still leave one’s house. Such hyperbolic claims do not help your case.
