"Got COVID? C'mon in!"

Miriam Izaguirre, a 35-year-old asylum-seeker from Honduras, crossed the Rio Grande at dawn Monday with her young son and turned herself in to the authorities.
A few hours later she was released, and the first thing she did was take a rapid test for Covid-19 at the Brownsville bus station. They told her her test came out positive.
"Right now we were tested for Covid and they separated about eight of us because we were positive," she told Noticias Telemundo Investiga. "We are waiting right now." She was waiting to catch a bus to Houston.
Other migrant families who also said they had tested positive were waiting to go to other destinations: North Carolina, Maryland and New Jersey.
The city of Brownsville administers these rapid tests at the bus station, after migrant families are released by the Border Patrol. A spokesperson for Brownsville confirmed that, since they began doing these tests Jan. 25, 108 migrants have tested positive for Covid-19, which is 6.3 percent of those who took the test.
But that's OK, they're taught to self-quarantine.
The city assured that municipal workers recommend to those who test positive to keep quarantine as indicated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The city employees suggest to families they go to nongovernment organizations (NGOs) and nonprofits in the the border area who can take them in and isolate them in order to keep quarantine.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Should there be inforced quarantine for them?
Should there be inforced quarantine for anybody who test positive?

Are they then let onto the bus?! 1 person on a bus with Covid is 40 people on a bus with Covid within 100 miles...

Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

Mandatory quarantine for everybody entering the country.. You HAVE to put an app on your phone that has an "electric fence". If you go outside the fence, a signal is given to the police.
They will randomly text your phone and expect a reply within X minutes to make sure that you dont try and go out without your phone to get around the quarantine.
