Some of the stupidity from the *non*-religious is even dumber.

I saw some idiots on TV saying that if you are going to be quarantining people it should be in medical facilities.

Aside from the lack of facilities and lack of resources to do the required testing to do that, these idiots have no clue regarding *recent* history.

As recently as the 60s you'd see houses with quarantine signs on them for things like the measles and chickenpox. No need to waste hospital space on people who weren't *that* sick. Not until they took a turn for the worse, which most didn't.

I recall a session somewhere where a teacher passed out some cards after shuffling them. Then she had the kids read them. Cards said things like "died in infancy", "died of measles", "deaf from measles", "crippled by polio", etc.

It made one *hell* of an impression.
