Originally posted by Sparko View Postfirst of all what he suggested isn't even practical. The whole point of isolation at home is to prevent hospitals from being overwhelmed, by keeping sick people at home unless they get bad enough to NEED to go to the hospital. Since most cases do not require hospitalization, this is a good strategy. If there is anyone in a household who is at high risk though, perhaps they should go somewhere else if someone in the household is sick.
This story is just a scare tactic from the right, just like all of the scare tactic stories from the left. This guy has no authority and doesn't even make any sense. He would end up flooding hospitals with non-serious cases. Or creating a logistics nightmare with trying to house that many sick people elsewhere, like some sort of group home or camp or something. It's nonsense.Originally posted by KingsGambit View PostI agree it is unlikely this would actually fly in the US. A country like China or Singapore that accepts authoritarianism as a way of life, certainly. But this nonetheless remains politically relevant as the next debate is to whether to cut off all funding to WHO like Trump has proposed. We will begin to ask ourselves whether this is an organization on the same page as the rest of us (though this one person's comment probably isn't the best evidence for that).Originally posted by Juvenal View PostPlease stop spreading this fiction. No one has suggested kidnapping kids. No one has suggested using force.
The only "this" here is letting sick people who can't go to the hospital now go to the hospital when there's room available. Of course we're going to allow this when we can.Originally posted by KingsGambit View PostI don't understand how my post is actually endorsing that interpretation.
But I'll also ask what you meant by the "this" that wouldn't fly in the US, and would be accepted in authoritarian countries like China and Singapore.
