why everyone is quarantined?

you are infected with this virus, they told you there
you don’t believe them since we’ll die sooner or later and they write everyone
your relatives died and did not give the corpse and said that he died from the virus
I do not believe

I know right? This is just a plan that Google made, so they can take photos of empty streets for Google Maps and Google Street View.

Poll is little bit confusing so I didn't click on any options, I will just say what I am doing.

I am under self-isolation 24h, even food is delivered (plus I wait 3 days before I prepare and open food, as virus might live on food packaging, I wash hands after I open food too), and why, I don't wanna spread this virus to others, its not much but it helps, there will be more infected people, but if I dont have to take bed in hospital or if I dont spread it, then there will be at the very least 1 "extra" bed, more people follow isolation rules and try to avoid contacts, it will be easier for medical staff to deal with this, its all about helping them so they have just a little less infections and critical people in hospitals, so we don't overwhelm them.

I also wish everyone to be well and to try their best to stay safe.

I mean, when has anyone ever said "Don't excercise, it's bad for your health (or the health of others)"?
(Obviously, rare specific circumstances where pre-existing conditions are in play aside.)

Besides- everyone jumping around seems like it'd be pretty fun.

Apparently a lot of my favorites have been taken down since I last looked, or the list would be longer. :(

Even in ancient times ( when diseases like leprosy, were incurable), only those who were infected were kept in quarantine. The quarantine of this magnitude imposed with such tyranny, proves that this is actually a cover-up of some global scam.

Because they weren't as contagious as this one. They mostly carried through animals Also people didn't have the medical knowledge as now. But you can put some perfume in a mask then go outside. That will protect you. :p

You do realize that the big point of everything is that we DONT KNOW who is infected.....
Most countries do so little tests that most of the people who are infected just walk around without knowing it.

Would be cool if we would magically know everyone who is infected and quarantine them, but I suppose logic somehow escapes discussions about conspiracy theories

Because in "ancient times" they were so good at controlling and curing infectious disease and epidemics. Oh wait...

There's.. just so much to raise an eyebrow at, within their statement, to begin with.
It's hard to even know how I should structure this, in the sense of determining where I should start poking at it.

-

Okay, let's due it in chronological order, then.
First off, ancient civilizations had both crude antibiotics and established practices of isolating or excluding the sick.
The Book of Leviticus, for example, dates somewhere within the estimated range of 538 and 332 BCE, and details some basic quarantine practices related to leprosy. (Nevermind that quarantine is a historic practice associated with leprosy to begin with.) Similarly, the Egypt of around 1550 B.C is well-established in having had basic medicine practices, including rudimentary antibiotic practices.

( So, if we ignore the point about leprosy specifically, it becomes pretty hard to make any clear distinction of "before" and "after" in medical practices of "ancient times". Rather, what we can firmly determine, is that medical practices in ancient times were emphatically bad, and not worthy of consideration against modern standards. )

Second, the modern concept of quarantine was first established in the 1300s, well preceeding the modern form of treatment brought about by the introduction of penicillin in 1928. Venice, who is also responsible for coining the originating term for "quarantine", put practices into place against bubonic plague in 1370.

This was followed in 1377 by the Republic of Ragusa (Croatia) putting general quarantine practices into place. The concept became a fairly familiar practice for governments to use against outbreaks from then-on. Meanwhile, treatment for leprosy didn't see development until the 1940s, with present treatment being based on a treatment first developed in 1981.

( As such, even factoring leprosy into the equation, nothing is added to help the statement obtain any more validity.
To the contrary, it highlights the invaldity of the statement further. )

-

To recap:

In actual ancient times, your options were to stick moldy bread and honey on your wounds and pray. Some centuries later, you could also hope to be excluded and kept away [remember, quarantine is as much about excluding as it is about isolating] to die without any treatment at all.

Then (in the "ancient times" specified by the nest originator) came proper quarantine measures, which included both isolationism and restricted borders/contact. Hundreds of years and countless devastating epidemics later, during which the flaws of the existing quarantine system were highlighted and countermeasures refined, and modern medication was finally discovered.

Even in ancient times ( when diseases like leprosy, were incurable), only those who were infected were kept in quarantine.

With that all in mind, really not seeing how any of that can be considered remotely accurate. Unless the intent was to actually state:

Even in ancient times ( when diseases like leprosy, were incurable), only when they gambled only applied quarantine to those explicitly known to be infected, did quarantine measures have notable flaws, leading to far worse outbreaks than would have otherwise occurred.

Because, sure, in that case, it seems legit enough?


( Finally, as a topper, let's note that historical quarantines favored the ruling class and often involved rather heartless countermeasures [such as the historical steretype of burning down the houses or villages of the infected, with the infected still inside]. )

Because in "ancient times" they were so good at controlling and curing infectious disease and epidemics. Oh wait...

Yeah, we clearly have it so much worse, nowadays. >.>

So far no trolls have shown virus symptoms and scientists think they're immune. Go lick a few toilet seats and see if they're right.

What is purpose of this thread? You made it, created some trolling poll answers and let it "live".

People are dying. That's a fact. They cancelled all planned operations in hospitals, and convert whole theaters into intensive care units. But it is not enough, and they change whole general warehouses into intensive care units.

This:

your relatives died and did not give the corpse and said that he died from the virus

is highly inappropriate.

I will close this thread. And I think you should be more empathetic towards people that lost their family members, worry as they are in the hospitals, or get separated due to travel bans.
