After accusing Ping of being paranoid, you give these paranoid 'what if's'?
But I can give a simple solution:
Put a sign out front warning people to stay away, as this is a quarantined area.
I worked at the state department of health before I retired.
Hell after I retired from the Navy I popped positive on the TB skin test but my X-rays were good but I still had to take Isoniazid for 6 months as a condition of working there. No big deal.
In Florida if you were exposed to TB and or had latent TB you were given Isoniazid for 3 to 6 months and a chest x-ray.
Most people did this with no problem.
Some were even provided with masks and told to wear them in addition to taking their medication and periodically reporting to the TB clinic for checkups. This quarantine usually lasted a few weeks before the patient was non contagious.
All in all it was not a big deal for the average joe sixpack.
In cases of serious active TB the person may be hospitalized in a special ward or clinic.
Most of the real problems come from the TB patients that are homeless, drug addicts or illegals, or sometimes all of the above. These people need to be physically quarantined and sometimes forcibly confined if they prove that they won't live in special controlled settings.
This is a whole different class of people than most of you are used to dealing with. For most of them, they could care less if they infect you or your family. They don't usually wear a mask or stay in residential facilities the state provides for the couple of weeks it takes for them to be no longer contagious.
Here in Florida the county Health Director has the authority to order emergency confinement for someone who is a danger, but has only so many hours before it has to go to the governor or judge for concurrence.
FYI I also believe cops and judges can do this for mentally unstable people too.
Bottom line: confinement for contagious TB lasts for a few weeks until the patient in no longer contagious provided they finish their medication regimen.
As far as applying this to Covid, I don't think it does.
Most people spread covid before they even know they are infected. If they get really sick they usually self isolate.
In fact the hospitals used to send covid patients with non life threatening symptoms home with instructions to self isolate.
During the absolute worst of the Covid pandemic I don't recall a single case of someone being involuntarily confined or quarantined, although in Israel they did heavily fine people in quarantine if they left their homes.
I don't recall any of that happening here.
One thing I do find suspicious is this whole move against DeSantis started happening only after he polled ahead of Trump in some stupid meaningless straw poll. But I guess it wasn't meaningless to Trump.
We'll see if these attacks continue or even ramp up.
