It is funny how little people know about public health and disease tracking.
Whenever someone I'm working with gets diagnosed with Hepatitis I always immediately get a call from poison control at the hospital wishing to speak to that person. I'm not sure what systems are in place that they know who gets a hep dx when but they know and they call and it is a matter of public health given the transmissibility. Other infectious diseases are tracked.
This is the first short term disease that they're treating like this, and it is because it is killing all the Boomers off and that is the major base of the governmental power. The state didn't care when AIDS was killing all the gays, when SARS was killing a ton of young people, you have to look at who is affected and the value placed on them by authority. Baby Boomers have dominated the US government for decades and have legislated their interests into law over and over and over its disgusting. A mysterious disease is created in the fucking International Wuhan Lab for Creating Coronaviruses which definitely did not create this virus and starts killing Boomers and the govt goes into full lockdown mode because they are trying to save the citizens who matter the most to them.
If it was blacks, gays, poor people, young people, etc, no quarantine IMO. It is like the heroin epidemic in Southern Ohio was, where it got so bad that it crept into the suburbs and nice neighborhoods and "god damn it we have to do something because it is affecting people we care about".
I've worked for a large corporation for over 25 years. The specific group of people I am in charge had an outbreak of tuberculosis. I was never made aware of it. The bulk of the people I am over are Somolian. Most not citizens yet. Months later word got out because some of the Americans got it. The corporation still has never said anything and the senior management was fired for other reasons in the meantime. The work area nor the building has never been cleaned from the outbreak. TB stays in dust and can still be caught.
