Officials in at least one New York county are sending letters to people who were exposed to Covid-19 telling them they need to self-quarantine for 10 days even if they have no signs of the disease.
They are being threatened with forced quarantining or prison if they refuse to do so whether they have the disease or not.
The letter also includes people coming from out of state. When you are living paycheck to paycheck, missing two weeks of work can kill you.
Let’s call this ‘mandatory quarantine’ what is really is … Martial Law!
The letter says:
“It has been determined that you have recently arrived from a state-designated pursuant to New York State Executive Order 205 OR may have been exposed to a person with COVID-19, a communicable disease that has the potential to adversely affect your health and the health of the public. Therefore, CHEMUNG COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT is requesting that you quarantine yourself to protect your health and the health of others by avoiding public spaces and private social gatherings and staying home from work.”
“Failure to comply with this request may result in the issuance of a Public Health Director Order pursuant to Public Health Law § 2100, or a Court Order of commitment pursuant to PublicHealth Law § 2120 for your involuntary commitment enforced by CHEMUNG COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT and/or law enforcement officials. Willful breach of a Court Order may be considered contempt of Court and may result in criminal prosecution.”
Keisha Russell, counsel for First Liberty, an organization that has been filing lawsuits coast to coast over unconstitutional lockdown of churches.
Some states that are allowing bars and restaurants to open still want churches locked down, not for safety’s sake but because religion is something all dictators must control just like gun owners.
So far we know of only one county doing this, Chemung County.
“When state and local government officials believe they have the power to ignore the First Amendment and shut down churches, it should surprise no one when they use a crisis to eviscerate the rest of our Constitutional rights,” said Keisha Russell, counsel for First Liberty.
“This is exactly why we fought government orders from coast to coast that targeted religious worship, and why the Supreme Court of the United States agreed that government authority has limits even during a pandemic. Government officials in New York are simply out of control.”
