Rights can be suspended for a definite period of time with habeas corpus.
Did the colonists stay inside because of the threat of things like yellow fever and the other very real contagions that swept through cities regularly? No. Without refrigeration, modern vaccines, and remote delivery, people would die if kept inside. Instead, they banned people from coming in and from leaving. There is precedent.
You may not like it and it leads down the slippery slope, but yes you can be forcibly quarantined. It's in the same vein as national security.
Because the health of a nation is national security. Keep the citiots in the cities and let the rest of us form herd immunity, take chloroquine as a prophylactic, and get this economy going again.
NYC can catch up to the rest of us when it burns out. Just like yellow fever in the colonial period.
You know they’re talking about may or June to start opening back up right? How many people are gonna sit there with no income or food for 2 more months? The shit show hasn’t even started yet.
The question/comment regarded constitutionality. The point is, incoming riots, chaos, etc., the quarantine would be constitutional.
In terms of the incoming chaos you mentioned, I agree with you entirely; however, that is a practical matter to be considered along with constitutionality. In fact the practice model was already tried in New Rochelle with the Guard. The government is always 2 to 3 steps ahead of our civil liberties.
