Good. I’m not sure who I sympathise with less - the cruise companies or their passengers

I am so sorry...you have been cheated out of 30 years of time with your dad by this virus. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Thank you for sharing this, as I am a 56 year old man in generally excellent health and I wil take heed and be even more careful.

That’s not the way I read the article Brett, sounded more like back peddling to me.

We can agree to disagree on how this pandemic has been handled but IMHO, improvements need to made all around

I believe the feds have authority to quarantine by force. Any any person in any place in the US.

Stay safe.

Guys - let’s not begin a political debate about the US constitution, federal law, State law, local authorities, etc.

It’s a slippery slope.

I beg to differ. From the CDC website:


State, local, and tribal authorities

Enforce isolation and quarantine within their borders.
It is possible for federal, state, local, and tribal health authorities to have and use all at the same time separate but coexisting legal quarantine power in certain events. In the event of a conflict, federal law is supreme.

Enforcement
If a quarantinable disease is suspected or identified, CDC may issue a federal isolation or quarantine order.

Public health authorities at the federal, state, local, and tribal levels may sometimes seek help from police or other law enforcement officers to enforce a public health order.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection and U.S. Coast Guard officers are authorized to help enforce federal quarantine orders.

Breaking a federal quarantine order is punishable by fines and imprisonment.

Federal law allows the conditional release of persons from quarantine if they comply with medical monitoring and surveillance.

In the rare event that a federal order is issued by CDC, those individuals will be provided with an order for quarantine or isolation. An example of a Quarantine Order for Novel Coronavirus (print-only) pdf icon[PDF – 5 pages] is provided. This document outlines the rationale of the federal order as well as information on where the individual will be located, quarantine requirements including the length of the order, CDC’s legal authority, and information outlining what the individual can expect while under federal order.

I think we will just have to disagree on that. Remarkably disagree.

I doubt very seriously that would stand up in court. I’m not gonna argue with you on this. If you think it’s perfectly reasonable for the federal government, for any reason they come up with to force you to stay in a certain area then we’ll just have to disagree. Peace to you brother.

It’s scary to me how quickly people are willing to give up their constitutional rights.

Constitutional rights don't do much for people that are dying or dead. Sometimes people just don't listen to reason or facts and things get enforced by harsher measures. Sometimes you have to protect people from themselves

I regret starting this topic on this page of this thread. This is the wrong thread and the wrong forum to discuss what our beliefs are on what government(s) can or can’t or should and shouldn’t be able to do you as a citizen.

I will not respond anymore to it.

This paper is great, but anyone with a science background knew that as the N (number of patients identified with the virus ) increased (which it was long expected as testing caught up) the death rate would go down. The issue here is that, the virus is far, and i mean far more contagious, and thus more easily spread overwhelming healthcare facilities. As healthcare workers contract this from their patients, there are less of them to treat those in need and round and round we go. Secondly, the virus is far more deadly when we look at the Corona vs. Flu stratified by age, i.e. 60, 70, and 80 year old patients are far more likely to die.

You know, we have one too. We're not living in some dictatorship or something. And here culpable epidemic is a crime.

"Applying the interpretative criteria outlined by the Court of Cassation to the specific case, it would seem that the crime of culpable epidemic could be contested to the subject who, aware of having contracted the coronavirus, circulates freely, ignoring the precautionary measures imposed by the Decree of the President of the Council of Ministers "I stay home", and determine the spread of the disease through negligence or imprudence."

I have a question, I have heard it reported that a major part of the spread in Italy was some kind of festival with 120k people right around the outbreak, that the numbers just exploded. Is that true?

Down south it looks like Mardi Gras might have caused our next out break

What about the authorities who failed to shut airports when this was starting? Shouldn’t they fall into this category as they knew the situation and facilitated their travel.

With all due respect to the OP, this linked article is a great example of why we should avoid advice from amateurs. This blog post is dangerous in its misinformation. He simply doesn't know what he doesn't know, and he is blinded by obvious bias confirmation. He states opinion as fact and plays the martyr because he waited a week to post it. He completely ignores the highly likely change in the flu once warm weather comes. His analysis of the data charts is laughably inept (and incorrect), and his description of how the (inaccurately labeled) 'quarantine' in the US is operating is erroneous and misleading.

And this guy has the stones to suggest we shouldn't listen to experts! Don't walk - run away from anything this guy writes.

The only argument of merit he posits is the one many people have already been talking about - how much are we willing to sacrifice economically in order to flatten the curve and save lives? That's not news to anyone, imo. It's an interesting and important question, to be sure, but basing any discussion on this author's complete misunderstanding of the medical situation is not recommended.

The lack of a coherent national plan has been the biggest problem in the US, and our continued lack of leadership will only make things worse.

EDIT: for clarity, my last sentence only applies to our broad approach and the thousands of people involved in it, not any one person.

It’s seems too important to get lost in the mix. Glad you opened up a new one.

I’d be more inclined to read the entire report rather than trust a political publication that cherry picked a paragraph. Thanks anyways I hope that’s true.
