There is a serious civil liberties question with the COVID situation, generally. It needs to be asked and answered ASAP.
I think the answer is easy, but I do hope for the sake of due process and establishing a precedent that this gets addressed.

You and the poster you quoted seem to be confusing the quarantine of a confirmed infectious patient with generally quarantining people without knowing their status. These people are confirmed cases and the government has years of case law on their side in this situation.
No, he said "generally" and I agree. I'm a big-government loving libtard. If it were up to me, we would've had mandatory masks for everyone on day 1. Despite that opinion, I'm also very glad that our government has checks and balances in place to prevent overreach. Is this overreach? I don't think so at all, but I respect due process and minority rights enough to want to see it asked and answered. People who think this is overreach are in the minority today. I want their voice heard because someday there's no question I'll have a minority opinion on an issue I find important.
Thank you, my liberal friend, for internalizing the larger question(s) here. And, the need for arguments to be made and decisions handed down on the matter. DeadBQ is correct that the specific quarantine in the OP was not my point of focus; rather, it was an example of governmental intervention in ostensibly private affairs. Perhaps the question on this particular matter has been addressed. Trust me, there are many questions at hand for which there is inadequate (or non-existent) precedent.

For the record I lean to the right, and am a get-the-gov't-out-of-my-way kind of guy.

Update: Apparently a Facebook posting outed the couple and they are getting slammed. The woman is reportedly an assistant professor at a local university.


Is there more than one University there?

He should know the answer now. I think five of us replied.
