This isn’t the plague. It’s the flu. And it’s not a particularly dangerous one unless you are over 80 and already in a retirement home.
And this whole “must comply” thing is a farce. What actual law has the person broken. All laws have a number associated with them.
But at the same time the contact tracers can’t ask about attendance at one of the recent “mostly peaceful” riots. Feh! If the government takes politics over health then I will too.
Most states have quarantine statutes specifically written to deal with epidemics, and they include due process guarantees including the right to a hearing and even the right to appointed counsel.
I volunteered to be on the appointed counsel list here in Texas. But the Texas quarantine statute has, as far as I can tell, never been invoked during the Covid epidemic.
Instead, as far as I can tell, governors and local executives have simply circumvented those laws and the protections contained in those laws by invoking broad, unchecked powers contained emergency or disaster response statutes. And, in most states whose laws I have read, the governor can keep those powers indefinitely, and they can only be cut off by an affirmative action of the legislature (which the governor can veto).
Emergency powers laws desperately need to be reformed. Legislatures need to amend them to narrow their scope and to impose an automatic expiration date on any emergency executive powers. Governors should have to go to the legislature to extend their powers.
It has been almost 4 months now. This is no longer an “emergency” warranting unilateral executive action. If laws need to be passed, there has been plenty of time for state legislatures to have been called into emergency session. At this point, any “emergency” powers are just dictatorial powers.
A positive test now results in a new class of citizen, considered of such a significant risk that their constitutional rights are suspended. Thus, it is in the interest of state security for the state to have legal authority to compel compliance with questioning.

Funny how that did not/does not apply to AIDS virus.
FauxChi, Redfield, and Brix still ain’t got their vax yet.
“Contact? You mean like the cold medicine?” Cackle, cackle, cackle....
Oh yeah. I went to the Courthouse. I went to City Hall. I attended the BLM protest. I went to the DMV. I went to the NY Times offices. Oh yeah, and I visited the capitol and the governors mansion.
I think that is everything.
Give them the Hillary response: “I don’t remember. I don’t recall.”
This for a virus.
Nothing to protect the city from rioting and looting.
Keep voting Democrat.
now these people, the contact tracers, these i wouldn’t mind being targeted and taken down
end this little stasi system real quick
So lie to them
time to take the tracers hostage, put them on video and accept consequences of not complying with unjust laws
How is anyone getting this disease? It’s 100 degrees outside.
