From Roland Walkenhorst: “Michael, not only are you presumed sick until you prove yourself healthy, but even after you have proven yourself healthy with a negative test, it can be postulated that you might have become sick subsequent to having the test. It’s like if I were presumed to be guilty of murdering Tom, but immediately after I prove that I didn’t kill Tom, they presume I killed Bob. These ‘might-be’s’ are potentially never-ending, which of course is why tyrants like them so much.”
From Jean Carbonneau in Portland, Maine (edited): “…the main University of Maine campus in Orono Maine had conducted over 14,000 tests, and had come up with 13 cases. CASES, not hospitalizations or deaths. But cases. Using my math, that is 0.09285%…Here in Maine, the testing % is now at 1.8%. The number of people in the hospital is 11. Yet, we are still under the state of emergency here til Oct 1, and of course, that will continue. The Governor here spent the money, and there’s a projected shortfall of around half a billion dollars…”
The National Conference of State Legislatures is somewhat aware of the civil rights issue, as this quote of theirs tells us: “The use of quarantine or isolation powers may create sensitive issues related to civil liberties. Individuals have rights to due process of law, and generally, isolation or quarantine must be carried out in the least restrictive setting necessary to maintain public health.”
However, the Conference is not speaking out to protect the rights of students concerning forced testing.
Some, perhaps many or even most, universities, are insensitive to civil rights of students. They are also paying little or no attention to the high immunity of this age group and to the vastly diminished current danger from COVID-19.
