The government has the right (and I'd argue, the duty) to quarantine people with diseases that are both contagious and dangerous if that's the best way to keep them from harming others.

AIDS/HIV sufferers would like a word with you. Speaking of which, Fauci's early statements on AIDS in the initial outbreak were interesting.

  Your theory is that the best way to prevent AIDS deaths is quarantining people? That seems extreme. Regardless, it's not one of the diseases listed on the linked page, and it's very different in nature than the ones there, so that sounds like a red herring to me.

    WTH? No. How can you get such a meaning from that. It's the opposite!

      You were the only one here suggesting people with HIV were relevant to quarantining. So since neither I nor the CDC thought that was a good idea, then either you did or it was a straw man.
