'There Are No FEMA Camps In Ohio,' Gov. Mike DeWine Says
Ohioans are not being forced to quarantine against their will, Gov. Mike DeWine said Tuesday.
WHAT DOES HE CALL "STAY AT HOME ORDERS"?
I CALL IT CONSTITUTIONALLY ILLEGAL QUARANTINE OF HEALTHY CITIZENS, WHICH IT IS, BTW.
AND FEMA IS USING MILITARY BASES AND HOTELS TO QUARANTINE.
ARE THERE ANY BASES AND HOTELS IN OHIO?
A "FEMA CAMP" DOESN'T HAVE TO LOOK LIKE THIS....
Public health quarantine and isolation are legal authorities that may be, but rarely are, implemented to prevent the spread of communicable diseases.
Ill people may be isolated to protect the public by preventing exposure to infected people.
State and local governments are primarily responsible for maintaining public health and controlling the spread of diseases within state borders.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, states have used their authority to create quarantine or isolation requirements on certain individuals or populations to slow the spread of this disease. This includes orders for individuals returning or traveling from foreign countries, states and other areas with high rates of COVID-19 transmission to quarantine for a certain amount of time or until they are able to confirm their status through testing.
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.
The federal government derives its authority for isolation and quarantine from the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution. Read more on the Legal Authorities for Isolation and Quarantine page.

Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act
The Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic (FD&C) Act is the foundation for Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) authority and responsibility to protect and promote the public health by, among other things, ensuring the safety and effectiveness of human and veterinary drugs, biological products, and medical devices; and ensuring the safety and security of our nation’s food supply.
State and local governments are primarily responsible for maintaining public health and controlling the spread of diseases within state borders.
Among other state public health emergency preparedness powers, every state, the District of Columbia and most territories have laws authorizing quarantine and isolation, usually through the state’s health authority.
The federal government has authority as well, through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), to monitor and respond to the spread of communicable diseases across national or state borders.

CDC WANTS YOU TO MEET THEIR "QUARANTINE STATIONS"
U.S. Quarantine Stations are part of a comprehensive Quarantine System that serves to limit the introduction of infectious diseases into the United States and to prevent their spread.
U.S. Quarantine Stations are located at 20 ports of entry and land-border crossings where international travelers arrive. They are staffed with quarantine medical and public health officers from CDC. These health officers decide whether ill persons can enter the United States and what measures should be taken to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.

It also includes quarantine orders for individuals who may have been exposed to the virus, who work in high-risk settings, individuals experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 and individuals who tests positive for the virus.
The following installations have been selected to assist HHS evacuation operations, if needed:
Defense Secretary Mark Esper on Saturday approved a request from the Department of Health and Human Services for the possible use of military facilities to accommodate 1,000 people who may have to be quarantined upon arrival from overseas due to a new virus.
"In support of Health and Human Services, Marine Corps Air Station Miramar will be temporarily housing American citizens in the process of returning from China," MCAS Miramar said in a press release Saturday.
A Defense Department statement said HHS officials requested the use of several facilities capable of housing at least 250 people in individual rooms through Feb. 29.

FEMA IS-75: Military Resources in Emergency Management
The IS-75: Military Resources in Emergency Management course was developed in response to requests from state, local, and tribal emergency managers who are either researching best practices for integrating military support resources into their existing emergency operations plans and procedures (e.g., Military Support Emergency Support Function); or, are becoming aware of the U.S. Department of Defense’s mission to provide support of civil authorities in manmade and/or natural disaster incidents. Multiple jurisdictions across the U.S. have recently or are now in the process of developing detailed strategies for integrating available Title 32 (i.e., National Guard) and/or Title 10 (i.e., Active Duty and Reserve) military units/resources into their respective disaster response plans, training, and exercise operations.
HOW MANY MORE MILITARY INSTALLATIONS CAN/WILL BE "CALLED INTO SERVICE FOR HHS" ISN'T YET DETERMINED.
As evidence provides from catastrophic disasters such as the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and Hurricane Andrew in 1992, U.S. military units and activities have proven to be a critical component for successful response and recovery operations.
THE EXPECTED, "PLANNED FOR" FOOD SHORTAGE, 2020-2030
The studies published by CNA Corporation in December 2015 describe a detailed simulation/FEMA response of a protracted global food crisis from 2020 to 2030.
Employing a desktop game simulation of the conditions of a global food shortage, titled “Food Chain Reaction,” CNA’s Institute for Public Research (NOTE: One must click on the profile/photos of each one on that page to see their "expertise in "Gaming and Wargamng") brought together “65 officials from the US, Europe, Africa, India, Brazil, and key multilateral and intergovernmental institutions,” Motherboard explained. And the Institute, which oversaw the simulation, “primarily provides scientific research services for the Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Emergency Management Agency [FEMA].”
According to the website for Food Chain Reaction: A Global Food Security Game (Dead link), the“simulation and exercise intended to improve understanding of how governments, institutions, and private sector interests might interact to address a crisis in the global food system,” and took place in early November 2015.
“The scenario,” the description continues, “is set five years from today in a world where population growth, rapid urbanization, extreme weather and political crises combine to threaten global food security. The game’s players — high-level decision makers representing nations, international institutions, and the private sector — will collaborate, negotiate, make decisions, and confront trade-offs while dealing with a chain reaction of consequences resulting from their actions.”
Though, at the height of the simulation’s worst repercussions, the food crisis affected virtually every societal and governmental aspect — such as mass civil unrest and widespread crop failures in the planet’s ‘breadbasket’ regions — the Institute ultimately painted a rosy picture of economic and agricultural recovery.
But for as detailed and reactive as the scope of the game sought to be, several glaring omissions likely skewed both results and proposed solutions — and despite backing from the U.S. government, the simulation’s corporate participants could have tacitly or overtly influenced the outcome.
Commissioned in part by Cargill, an industrial agribusiness behemoth, and Mars, the giant whose candy business has vested interests in promoting both genetically-modified food and industrial agriculture, the Food Chain Reaction simulation excluded among possible solutions the abolishment of industrial, factory farming. Considering large-scale agribusiness’ sizable impact on the environment, as well as the paradoxical system whereby industrial agriculture largely supports livestock from factory farms, that exclusion certainly calls into question any results."
Regulations and Laws That May Apply During a Pandemic
The Public Health Service (PHS) Act forms the foundation of the HHS’ legal authority for responding to public emergencies by authorizing the HHS Secretary to take key actions, such as lead all federal public health and medical response, declare a public health emergency, assist states in meeting health emergencies, maintain the Strategic National Stockpile, and control communicable diseases.

FROM AN INTERESTING READ, THOUGH I DO NOT AGREE WITH ALL WRITTEN THERE,
"In mid-March of 2020, the United States of America became a socialist country, despite President Trump's promise in his State of the Union address one year prior.
To those who lost their non-essential jobs, those who met empty shelves, those who discovered that their "free" education was too costly, those driven insane by incessant fear-mongering, and those faced with capricious and nonsensical restrictions — welcome to socialism.
Deceived by the arrogance of science and appeal to authority, or perhaps with false science to mask nefarious motives, public health and safety were used as a contrivance to replace liberty, freedom, and democracy with the Game of Socialism, in which (elected) tyrants play with our lives.
Do health and safety trump liberty and freedom, and must we sacrifice one for the other?
There is no scientific study demonstrating that liberty and freedom are required to spread disease, although there are works of assumptions masquerading as such.
There is no scientific study demonstrating that liberty and freedom are required to spread disease, although there are works of assumptions masquerading as such.
To the contrary, a 2001 study published by George Washington University and Johns Hopkins University recommends against large-scale quarantine, isolation, and other liberty-infringing actions in favor of informed individual action.
One finding is particularly interesting:
-- In 2014, the Congressional Research Service wrote about quarantines and the federal Constitution when there were concerns about the Ebola virus. In general, the Research Service said the power to take quarantine measures is reserved to the states under the 10th Amendment. In 1824, Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall’s opinion in Gibbons v. Ogden drew a clear line between the federal government and the state governments when it came to regulating activities within and between states.

The Constitution Isn’t Suspended Because of Coronavirus
During the past century in the United States, professional medical and public health familiarity with the practice of quarantine has faded. A review of the medical literature found no largescale human quarantine implemented within US borders during the past 8 decades.
The 1918 "flu" pandemic has been largely compared to COVID-19. Just like with COVID-19, wide-spread quarantine and isolation were implemented. While many modern public health experts credit the quarantine with saving lives, one article noted:
"Despite high mortality rates and the need for increased appropriations, the 1918 pandemic failed to stimulate extensive influenza research or a dramatic increase in permanent funds for PHS. ... [Surgeon General] Blue's appeal for a permanent mechanism to prevent and control diseases such as influenza was quickly forgotten as postwar America sought to heal its war wounds and seek a return to "normalcy."
During experiments with the 1918 influenza virus in 1931, Shope showed that it was a mild infection; indeed, its progeny are still with us. "Flu" often appears in quotes among medical writings, indicating it as an incorrect term. Shope showed that the 1918 disease was likely two separate infections: viral influenza followed by bacterial pneumonia caused by Haemophilus influenzae (the "flu").
Modern research has shown that oxidative stress and immune depletion after a viral respiratory infection open the way for bacterial pneumonia.
IT'S BACTERIAL PNEUMONIA THAT SO MANY HAVE DIED FROM, NOT CORONAVIRUS, AND SEASONAL INFLUENZA CAUSES THE SAME TYPE OF "KILLER" PNEUMONIA AS THE CDC WEBPAGE HAS SHOWN EACH YEAR.
WHEN WE STOPPED TESTING FOR "FLU" AND TESTED ONLY FOR CV-19, WE PROBABLY MISDIAGNOSED THOUSANDS.
"The National Archives hosts documents related to the 1918 pandemic, including letters from nurses and doctors. A letter from Dr. D.A. Richardson describes the two distinct stages. The first is "influenza proper," from which the patient recovers in four days. While convalescing during the required (and unnecessary) ten-day quarantine in hospitals filled with pneumoniacs, the victims caught pneumonia and died of the "flu." The 1918 pandemic was secondary, hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia spread in quarantine. They made the (healthy) patients wear masks, which probably caused something akin to ventilator-associated pneumonia. If patients recovering from influenza proper were instead sent home to recuperate in fresh air, sans mask, they probably would have lived, and 1918 would have been unremarkable.
The quarantine, isolation, and mask-wearing failed to diminish the spread of the influenza. Instead, the practices likely increased fatality and had disastrous economic consequences. The medical policy of 1918 was contrary to the medical science of 1918, and the destructive practices of quarantine, isolation, and mask-wearing were largely abandoned."
BOTTOM LINE, YES, FEMA CAN, HAS, WILL FORCEFULLY QUARANTINE ANYONE, ANYWHERE THAT FEMA PLEASES. OHIO IS NO EXCEPTION.
YES, THERE ARE QUARANTINE "CAMPS" WHEREVER FEMA DESIGNATES THEM TO BE.
FEMA IS HOMELAND SECURITY.
FEMA CAN SUSPEND THE CONSTITUTION WHEN IT PLEASES FEMA TO DO SO.
EAT IT AND SMILE, GOVERNOR.
YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY CITIZEN IN AMERICA WHO DIDN'T KNOW THIS.
HOWEVER...
"America has always favored strong political leaders and rejected the weak. We need ballsy politicians to confront the socialist nonsense masquerading as health and safety."
I'VE LOOKED AND LOOKED AND SEE NOT A ONE.
NONE IN OHIO.
