Health,
You said,
“They would! It doesn’t have to be a jail! It could be a locked facility like where they put the Mentally Ill. Did you ever see s/o die of AIDS? They need nursing care, usually either in a hospital or a nursing home. A little home meds won’t do it!”
Someone can test positive to HIV ten years before they start showing any symptoms. Your talking about spending 10-15 years in a quarantine facility before they would even feel sick. No one would be willing to report to testing in such circumstances. Even when suffering; terminal patients turn down treatments that affect their quality of life a whole lot less then that all the time. And all this is assuming that you could actually track down everyone who was at risk, which for the reasons I listed above is by itself a stretch.
It would be hard enough with only the thousands of people who were infected either first or second hand by contaminated blood products (add anyone who had used an intravenous drug and anyone they had relations with in the previous 10 years and the number would be astronomical), and that’s just one segment of what you are calling the “at risk population”.
I don’t understand why you assume either of these things would actually work.
Regarding Ebola,
You said, “
I did address it!
From above:
“It would stop alot of people from coming to the US; not all of them, but alot! It would make it very hard to travel to our country.”
That is irrelevant. If the disease will make it here eventually in the long term in spite of the travel ban, then the travel ban is in the long term useless and would almost definitely be harmful:
We would end up with what be more virulent strains that would have had longer to mutate in Africa (due to it being harder for Doctors to go get it under control) finding their way into the country through channels we would not know about or be able to control.
