Common Sense
I heard on the news this morning that a man with a deadly type of TB was quarantined, even though it was not considered highly contagious. The health officials said they wanted to balance personal liberty vs. public safety. In this case, they decided to take precautions to protect the public. I asked myself, "Why didn't they do the same with AIDS?" Like this TB, AIDS is deadly but not highly contagious. So why not quarantine those infected with AIDS? It's just common sense. I knew quite a few people who caught AIDS and died from it. I was just wondering, "How many of them would still be alive today if those infected a long time ago had been quarantined in the first place?"
