That's a hard one.
Haha, I said hard one.
I'm sure i'd finally end up losing it and flippin the fuck out, breaking out of there and going home to pick up my firearms and plan my next move.

Are you assuming that you wouldn't receive treatment while under quarantine?

I know your background (retired 54B40 here). Answer is yes. Human nature - the desire to live -  always triumphs over reason. That's why quarantines have to be enforced with deadly force.

id be gone deeper into the country before then...

but I definitely wouldn't be cool with any govt peoples trying to "quarantine" or "contain" me in any way unless were talking about being in a hospital..

im not getting rounded up, no way, ill die first.. id escape to my place out in the woods and quarantine the rest of the world the F away from me..

ETA ^^^^^that would be my situation as well.^^^^^

Absolutely not. I would be sure to have things squared away with my maker.  It would be nice to have 1 bullet left, but I imagine any weapons would have been removed by then. So, morphine. Lots and lots of morphine.

sorry, wrong question.

My KIDS, that's the real one.

Me?  Probably not.  My wife? maybe.  My kids?  don't ask and I won't lie to you.

Well, the question is about seeking treatment, which presumably means that oh snap you've been bit by the ebola monkey.

1) I'd stay clean and avoid bodily fluids (BSI keeps you alive)
2) I'd be doing decontamination on a regular basis (bleach and lysol will kill ebola)
3) I have the means and supplies to isolate myself for long enough for the epidemic to burn itself out.
4) Anyone attempting to breach my quarantine would be shot


but I would have been gone long before my area would be quarantined.

so say they already got an ebola epidemic on there hands...

you think they want to start a war at the same time? trying to take our guns? talk about an inopportune time...

that's way easier said than done here in Michigan, we have a bit of a militia presence here and I don't think they'd be down for that under any circumstances...

I didn't read it that way.  It states "in an ebola affected area".

If I was infected, I would definitely stay there as that would be the area where all of the treatment would be concentrated.

What happened during the Katrina affair?

Never say never. It is very improbable, but people, including the .gov, go nuts during disasters.

I think the implication is not a quarantine where care is available so much as a quarantine to contain the outbreak and let it burn itself out.  AKA a death camp so to speak...

Well, because it's not just you at risk, and it's not just about natural rights.  This has been done a million times over in books and movies, if you don't like the darker and scarier real situations from history.

Knowing who the OP is, I think, might be wrong, but we're talking about the personal survival drive Vs. the greater social responsibility.  The contest between self preservation and the willful jeopardy of others in a selfish pursuit.

Leper colonies were not created for treatment.  The Cubans isolated AIDS/HIV victims in fenced in ghettos waiting for them to die off, not so they could consolidate treatment.

This asshat from Liberia came here KNOWING he was exposed, lied about it, for the sole purpose of getting 1st world treatment, and us rich Americans be damned.  

And the whole concept of the Liberians policing the flights out is a joke as well.  They have NO vested interest in stopping anyone.  You know how you get billions of American research dollars redirected from erectile dysfunction and hair loss (Idocracy theft) and into Ebola research?  You let a guy with it come and start a Tx HotZone.

if youd like not to end up in a quarantine and or death camp, you should be the F out of whatever densly populated area you are in long before your area has to be locked down...

im sure there would be ample warning and/or plenty of clues to gtfo of there before they could organize and implement something like that..

pack yo shit n be gone, if you stick around its your own damn fault..  just don't let yourself get put into a position like that..

unless you feel its safer among the sheep...
