They even quarantine vaccinated people, so it's hard to see where the discrimination is.Amal Shuq-Up said:Sam Lowry said:Hitler treated the Jewish people as a disease. That's offensive. Treating Covid as a disease? I don't know, but somehow that seems like it's possibly…less offensive.Married A Horn said:
Germany has gone back to excluding those they dont like from the economy. Hence the Jewish Star reference.
Am I alone here?
They are quarantining healthy people and excludingthem from society. Maybe that will help you understand better.
Not everyone is quarantined. Think really hard about this.
And treating people poorly.
Personally, I think people can't separate personal decisions from public policy. 1% risk for an individual is low. 1% of the population dying is almost 400k people dying in the US. The potential impact to the economy, health systems, and infrastructure are worth public health policies to try and minimize or to keep to 1%.
But, that us not what this is about. Our Constitutiom allows States to handle health, every State has the right to handle as they see fit according to their Constitution, the Courts have upheld this for over 100 years. I am not a DeBlassio fan, but he has the right to handle public health as NYC believes is correct. If wrong, NY State Courts and ultimately Supreme Court will determine. That is our system. You can complain, disagree or not like it, but the State and Locals have the ability to quarantine, require inoculation, and curfew. Nothing is being done unconstitutional at the State level until the Courts say so. By the way, they have particularly on Federal overstepping, rightly so.
