That was different. Obama was president.
I remember when medical personnel were forcibly quarantined during the Ebola outbreak. Kaci Hickox a nurse who had treated patients in West Africa was subjected to widespread vilification and ridicule when she complained over how she was treated. I'm going out on a limb here but I bet the people that were in favor of her imprisonment are the same people that can't be bothered to take safety precautions in this pandemic. Masks and social distancing are tyranny and a violation of their rights.
