The New 'SARS' Quarantine proposed by Bush/Cheney Inc.- An Opinion Editorial

by Dee

President George Bush just put SARS on the list of diseases that can be quarantined.

Doctors say SARS is a variant of the flu that has killed people in the past all over the world. In other
words, not really a lot different from what is a known illness. The flu was never placed on a quarantine list.

When AIDS and HIV first appeared there was talk of quarantine but Act Up and others actively made sure that
didn't happen.

If an airline passenger shows symptoms of SARS they can now be detained against their will; in other words, forced
treatment. Can illegals also be detained and deported by this quarantine?

Is this quarantine another insane step in the homeland security to limit our civil rights - forced medical treatment?

SARS should not be put on a quarantine list.

In my opinion, it is just another factor, like small pox inoculations, to get around current patient protections from
government forced medical treatment and as a way to interfere with our civil rights.
