BUSH ISSUES QUARANTINE ORDER ON SARS

April 5, 2003

April 4. "...executive order Friday allowing the forced quarantine of people suspected of having a mysterious new illness [sARS]...grants authority to Tommy ["I'm not taking the smallpox shot"] Thompson to decide when such a quarantine [of a reluctant citizen with chest congestion] is needed."

The MSNBC and wire service story I'm quoting from also states, with a straight face, paraphrasing "government officials," that Bush's executive order "is not meant to escalate fears in the public's mind..."

What is it meant to do? Stimulate Internet shopping?

The actual executive order directs the "apprehension, detention or conditional release [electronic ankle bracelet?] of individuals [who refuse hospitalization and isolation] to prevent the introduction, transmission or spread of suspected communicable diseases."

Yeah.

The order specifically mentions SARS. This is the first disease added to the government's quarantine list in 20 years.

The supposed trigger for Bush's order was a woman coming back to the US on a plane from somewhere in Asia. She had a cough and a fever. COUGH AND A FEVER. She was told she should go to a hospital and she said no thanks and moved on into the night.

The new quarantine command from the lofty clouds above Mt. White House permits cops to bust a person who has been "exposed," has no symptoms, and "may be infected." HAS NO SYMPTOMS.

Of course, there is no test for infection, because they have no germ.

But wait. They say they do. A member of the coronavirus family. The CDC is going with that.

In fact, government work has begun to develop, you guessed it, a vaccine. With animal tests and all, this could take a year or two. The vaccine will "inoculate against" the coronavirus.

Of course, as Dr. Anthony ("I'm a big shot, please believe I'm a big shot") Fauci, head of the US Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said, if they later figure out that some other virus causes SARS, then they'll scrap all the research and throw millions of vials of vaccine into the garbage.

So far, there are 115 cases of so-called SARS in the US. No deaths.

And, as I've been writing, no proof that something called SARS exists.

Researchers "have a virus" like a homeless person in NYC has a horse running in the Kentucky Derby.

Bush is running neck and neck with Gerald Ford for presidential/medical boob of the last 200 years. But on the quarantine front, he's a leader.

You want a stock tip? Invest in a drug-company that sells over the counter cold and flu remedies. Because everybody and his brother is going to be trying to suppress the hell out of those symptoms, to avoid taking a ride to the isolation ward.

Maybe kids will be turning in their parents. "My daddy's been inserting Nyquil suppositories all day. He won't leave the garage."
