I am seriously surprised not a single one is legally challenging the quarantine.

Happened to see this with some background historical info. I thought it was interesting at least..
Coronavirus and the Constitution A reader asked me about the constitutionality of quarantines and similar measures; I haven't studied the subject at all, but I thought I'd ask, Prof. Ed Richards, who is an expert in the field (both on the law side and on the public health side; he has an M.P.H. as well as a J.D.).

Folks,
There is a very fine line between border security discussion and political debate. It has just been crossed; please do not go there! Political discussions belong in OMNI/PR (access to OMNI is restricted to members who have been on FlyerTalk for 180 days and have posted 180 contributive messages). Future posts of a political nature will be summarily deleted without further notice. Repeat offenders will be subject to discipline. TWA884 Travel Safety/Security co-moderator |
