Ensuring Compliance With Quarantine by Undocumented Immigrants and Other Vulnerable Groups: Public Health Versus Politics
The political difficulties in enacting and implementing the laws necessary to promote compliance with quarantine ought to give government officials some pause before advocating or imposing a quarantine in all but the most compelling circumstances. Such reticence would be a welcome change from the heedless manner in which quarantine was used in the United States during the 2014 Ebola outbreak.35 There may be a limited role for quarantine in modern public health practice, but it must be undertaken with abundant care, including the safe harbor provisions needed to encourage compliance and thereby increase the likelihood of its success...
...Regardless of the bona fides of public health officials, some individuals subject to a quarantine would be especially reluctant to comply. Remaining at home under government supervision or entering a public facility would be inconceivable for numerous people who live in the shadows, fearful that contact with any government official will result in their arrest, deportation, or other highly undesirable outcome. Yet, if fear “drives them underground,” their refusal to comply with a group-based or individual quarantine would threaten the spread of disease and endanger the health of the entire population.
In this essay, we consider the previously underexplored issue of whether the exigent circumstances of a public health emergency justify extraordinary measures to assure all individuals that they may comply with a quarantine without risking legal, personal, or economic jeopardy. Measures to promote compliance with quarantine are especially important when the quarantine involves a substantial number of individuals. We also consider the need for legislation to prohibit discrimination in employment against individuals who enter quarantine and to provide income support for individuals during their time in quarantine....
...
...No federal law provides for income replacement for individuals in quarantine, although the proposed Emergency Flu Response Act of 2004 included provisions for a national quarantine compensation program.32 The program would have provided for the replacement of lost wages during quarantine, along with reinstatement and protection from employment discrimination. The proposal was never enacted.30
Massachusetts is the only state to provide any income support, having enacted a law in 1907 that provides for a maximum of 2 dollars for each working day.33 States have been reluctant to enact any legislation dealing with income replacement because it seems to encumber limited state funds. An emergency provision, however, need only establish a mechanism for income disbursement (e.g., via the unemployment insurance system), and it need not appropriate funds until needed. In an epidemic, income support for people in quarantine is essential, and avoiding the issue only threatens to delay and undermine the emergency response.
Gates B.F. Fauci gone Holywood with Julia Roberts and a pathetic acting attempt at genuine concern...

Illegal immigrants should be immediately returned to their country of origin. We especially don’t need the increased danger and expense during the pandemic.

Great recent reporting on Mr. G and his agenda by James Corbett at corbettreport.com. Also In WA state the two main institutional sources for tracking and reporting C-19 statistics are heavily funded by B&MGF. The WHO is a another recipient of big bucks, and it goes on and on. Gov. Inslee's contact tracing "Fire Brigade" is being recruited and trained in WA and will be assisted by the Natl. Guard. Emily Inslee, is Gov. Inslee's daughter-in-law and has been on the B&MG Board for the last 6.5 years. Hmmm?
In other news in the last week or so, in the Italian Parliament, there have been calls for the arrest of Mr. Gates for crimes against humanity. He is hated in India. What else do we need to know?

The American government locks up more of it's citizens than any other country in the world.

So much for the Statue of Liberty welcoming immigrants to the land of the free and home of the brave.
What's next in this amazing marketing campaign ? Run people over with tanks and alter history through Google censorship ? Sell a $300 garbage vaccine to 7 Billion people ? That would be $ 2,100,000,000,000, or 2.1 trillion plus money for doctors, trackers, enforcement etc. That's a move up for Bill Gates and he's all in. He was in before it started - funny how that goes.
