Limitations on freedom of movement are not new in American history. It was limited during the yellow fever epidemic of 1793; the cholera pandemic of 1837. Even the Founders and Framers saw the need for this. President Washington signed "An Act Relative to Quarantine" in 1796 in response to the yellow fever epidemic a few years earlier.
In Norfolk VA is a street still called Quarantine Road. Break your quarantine and the city would force you to live in one of the houses on the street. In 1855, 1/3 of the population of Norfolk VA died of yellow fever. In 1793, 10% of the population of Philadelphia died. And while we are not at that point yet, we are at the point of not being able to bury all of the dead promptly, at what point will we go to mass graves like they did in 1918?
I don't answer questions... am I being detained? For what crime?
Life, liberty, property & good reputation, has to be threatened, harmed, or taken for a crime to be committed.
Here the very government, solely instituted to secure and protect your human rights, is threatening your life, restricting your liberty, taking your property, and destroying your good reputation.
Did they forget, they are the servant and I am their Master, per contract?
