Some of us remember what it was like to be quaranteened when someone got measels or mumps or a child hood disease. The big difference then and now? We knew it was for the good of everybody and there was no 24/7 sensationalizing by the media.

It should be noted that the quarantine is to ensure the that a deadly disease is not transmitted to others....three weeks inconvenience for the greater good. No big deal. No media huff and puff required. Just plain old COMMON SENSE!!
For the greater good in whose option? I suffered from being patted down since 9/11 twice a week just because I had an artificial knee "for the greater good" and never once did I have a bomb in my bra.... In my final 2 years of flying I travelled 140 miles round trip to have access to a scanner, instead of a metal detector, to avoid being patted down. And no one was 1 bit safer from my additional screening. So you might ask why I travelled so far.... because I was both physically and sexually abused as a child. To have a stranger pat me down was very difficult for me as you might expect....

It might be good for you....but for me it was terrifying.
