> Is that fair to someone you then infect out in public? Why is it that for all of history this hasn't been an issue for infectious diseases until now?

  It has, in fact, been an issue, which is why epidemic laws have been drafted, in the past, to control that behaviour.

  It's funny you have no clue that the state used to run Tuberculosis sanitariums. Hint the imates didn't have a choice. New York had a sanitarium where they sent people with infectious diseases unless they had a physician to vouch for their care. Public health authorities would quarantine families for scarlet fever. They'd put as a red notice on your door. All perfectly legal.

    > All perfectly legal. While the quarantine order in Wisconsin isn't.

    Quarantine is where you restrict the movement of sick people. Tyranny is where you restrict the movement of healthy people.
