College students in Michigan who tested positive for Covid 19 were not Self quarantining so Michigan has issued
a mandatory quarantine and if a student violates the quarantine they can be fined or even go jail.

This sort of draconian measure is the only thing that works on idiots. Hit people in their pockets where it hurts most. Give them a choice; pay up or go to jail. They'll soon get the idea.

Yep. Doing in person school was a massively ****ing predictable mistake. I'm extremely pissed about it.

I made the same point in another thread. The sort of stupid, macho arrogance that some people display is breathtaking.

I know; our schools, colleges and universities are just starting back after the summer break and lockdown. I hate to think about what the results might be.

Idiots can only have a chance to function properly where there are clear rules with enforcement.

I thought I would just direct your attention to this:

Judge rules Pennsylvania governor's COVID-19 restrictions unconstitutional

But I’m sure most here would just call the Judge an idiot. So . . .

How many lost their lives during the Revolution because they thought freedom from tyranny mattered? How many lost their lives during the Civil war because they thought the freedom of slaves mattered? To dismiss the Constitution because of death would have never got us where we are today.

My wife works in a high school. CT is one of the "good" states yet many of our schools are closing for in person teaching as student after student comes down with the virus. I'm frankly afraid for her life but she is too dedicated to stay home. I'm sick of hearing that school isn't dangerous for the kids because..............
 

The judge is an idiot and we can expect this to be overturned quickly.
 

I wish you all well. Keep her safe.
 

Why do you believe a temporary restriction of your 'freedom' and having to wear a mask is "tyrrany"? How much more ridiculous hyperbole should we expect in your posts? It's those bloody stupid, arrogant libertarians who are the danger to your country. "Tyrrany"? Give me a ****ing break:roll:

I also hope all goes well and your wife and the students and staff at her school are safe and Covid 19 free.
 
I’m personally following the guidelines. But unlike others I can understand the Constitutional issues. And the history behind it. Of course I also understand that to many getting rid of the Constitution is a good thing.

Who are these "many" individuals?
 

Actually , if anyone violates the quarantine it is a misdemeanor and it is the county health department ( because this a health issue ) that put the mandatory quarantine in place.

Minnie since when do health departments make laws?

The laws giving the health department the authority to enforce a mandatory quarantine may date back to the Ebola crisis or even earlier.

I remember When as a child I had Scarlet fever and we under mandatory quarantine.
