Proposed Law Would Let Governor Cuomo Put COVID Carriers into ‘Detention’ Camps




LBANY (N.Y.) — Yes, you read the headline correctly. New York Assemblyman N. Nick Perry is sponsoring legislation that would give Governor Cuomo and other state officials the ability to force “contacts,” “carries,” or people “suspected” of carrying illnesses into detention facilities.
Yikes.


The bill reads:

“Upon determining by clear and convincing evidence that the health of others is or may be endangered by a case, contact or carrier, or suspected case, contact or carrier of a contagious disease that, in the opinion of the governor, after consultation with the commissioner, may pose an imminent and significant threat to the public health resulting in severe morbidity or high mortality, the governor…may order the removal and/or detention of such a person.”

The proposed legislation, which includes a dubious level of ambiguity, would allowed Cuomo to detain those he deems to be a risk in “medical facilities” or a other “appropriate facility,” whatever the heck that means.
CLICK to read the bill.

Shades of leper colonies. "Suspected" and "in the opinion of the governor" sounds to me like a major violation on personal rights and of privacy. Maybe even political prisons?

For you folks wearing masks:

Do you pull your mask down and cough into your elbow?

Or do you cough into your mask?

or do you do what Biden does, pull down your mask and cough into your bare hand?

I'm sure after that you throw away that mask and get a brand new one on, RIGHT?

UK Prime Minister imposes harsh lockdown as new Covid-19 variant spreads


UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson reimposed a lockdown in England on Monday as a more transmissible variant of Covid-19 fuels a surge in infections and hospitalizations in the country.

"It is clear that we need to do more to bring this new variant under control," Johnson said. "That means the government is once again instructing you to stay at home."

During his televised address to the nation, Johnson reimposed measures seen during the first lockdown last spring, including closures of secondary and primary schools to all except the children of key workers and vulnerable children. People will be allowed to leave their homes for limited reasons like shopping for essentials, exercise, and medical assistance.

Johnson also said people could still leave home "to escape domestic abuse" -- an issue that arose earlier during the pandemic, as isolation and lockdown conditions exacerbated barriers to escape for victims of domestic violence.

Outdoor sports venues will have to close. But unlike spring's lockdown, nurseries will not be shuttered, elite sports can go ahead, and places of worship will remain open on the basis that attendees adhere to social distancing rules.

The lockdown is expected to remain in place at least through the middle of February.

Apparently it was filmed in the outpatients department and its against the UK's Data Protection Act 1998 to film hospitals without permission due to doctor and patient confidentially.

Some years ago a TV company was fined £120,000 for doing exactly that.
