Joe Biden: “We cannot let this, we’ve never allowed any crisis from the Civil War straight through to the pandemic of 17, all the way around, 16, we have never, never let our democracy sakes second fiddle, way they, we can both have a democracy and ... correct the public health.”

In early October 1918, Portland was placed under a strict set of rules to prevent the spread of influenza. All downtown stores were required to close at 3:30 PM, and offices were required to close at 4:00 PM.
The quarantine efforts were met with some opposition. Quarantine was unpopular among doctors, who often protested Health Officials efforts to quarantine houses. Half a dozen doctors called at the City Health Bureau during the day and attempted to explain that some of their 'flu' cases were tonsillitis, colds, or something else that is not on the list of quarantinable disease.
In January 1919, the Portland City Council attempted to pass an emergency clause requiring flu masks in public. Attorney W. T. Vaughn called the clause unconstitutional, saying that "This is class legislation and nothing else. Doctors admit that they know nothing of the disease, but are attempting to muzzle us like a pack of dogs."
Yet Portlanders increasingly dismissed the warnings and returned to normal life. They started riding the streetcars again, going to work and beginning their holiday shopping.
Hospitals were overflowing. New cases were still pouring in by the hundreds. Police stood guard outside hospital doors to block visitors from entering, turning away people with lesser health concerns. Two months after the outbreak, Parrish could see that things were getting worse.
The mayor proposed an emergency ordinance to officially classify influenza as a “communicable disease,” putting it alongside small pox and scarlet fever. This would make the “stay home” orders to people with the disease legally enforceable.
At the end of January, Portland had been gripped by the epidemic for nearly four months. Health officials braced themselves for a third wave. But the number of new cases tapered. By February, it seemed the virus had finally run its course.
In the end, it had taken the lives of around 3,500 Oregonians.
Yup, early in this mess I discovered this was the closest thing we ever had to precedent. There is no legal basis to quarantine healthy people.
The biggest rebel was a Catholic Priest. A Government Official, also in Washington State, replied to him that "religion that can't wait two weeks isn't worth having." And that's all it lasted, was 2 weeks of less restrictive measures than many in the Country are going along with now. So no lawsuit ever concluded.
We are in completely uncharted territory. The stimulus will allow people to stay complacent long enough that the economy cannot be restarted, which is the whole goal of all the disinformation since 1913. Get our National debt so far out of whack with our GDP that everybody knows we can never pay it back, then all our property are belong to the central bank or rather those who own it. Gibs are designed to convince people to forfeit all our liberties and the Nation itself, without ever having to fire a shot.
Don't cooperate with that plan!
