Medical Martial Law

Medical Martial Law is likely coming soon to a region near you.  Get ready!

Corona virus (Wuhan 2019-nCoV) in China is quickly getting worse, doubling and re-doubling every 6.4 days  according to Lancet.

It's already inside Canada and USA.  Since then, the government let thousands of people back into the country from China and SE Asia with inadequate screening or quarantine.

China has already imposed Medical Martial Law (eg. Mandatory Quarantine, suspension of normal rights, jobs, methods, travel, funeral rites, etc.).  However, the Chinese people are more or less used to living under Communist government edicts that control every aspect of their lives for the last 71 years (since 1949).

Unlike China, we in the western democracies are accustomed to our freedoms.

We, in the Western world, will likely soon have the bit forced into our mouths, and the bridle tightened over our heads, and the spurs into our side as the reigns are suddenly, & violently yanked by our respective governments, so as to instantly redirect us down a different path towards Medical Martial Law.

USA

If you are in the USA, the CDC will soon be in charge under 42 CFR 70, 361 Public Health Services Act, 369, 42 USC 264 to 272, and DGMQ (Division of Global Migration Quarantine), Interstate commerce, and other statutes already published in the Federal Registry (see Page 54243).  For more info, see Celeste Solum's report "The World as we knew it is over: Medical Martial Law", https://youtu.be/JYkeAZwN2N8

These laws, Regulations, and Executive Orders 13295, 13375, and 13674) are quite controlling, invasive, and punishing for failure to comply (ie. up to $250,000 or 1 year in jail (or both) per day or per offence, or both.

Canada

In Canada, we have it slightly better.

Federal Quarantine Law ( see https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/q-1.1/FullText.html )applies at all international ports (air, sea, rail, road, etc.), as well as public conveyances (taxi, planes, busses, passenger trains, etc.) at any point in Canada.  For everything else, it's provincial law.

 In Ontario, we have the following:

 Health Protection and Promotion Act (HPPA), https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/90h07

For a MS Word version https://www.ontario.ca/laws/docs/90h07_e.doc

See Part IV, Section 21-40 for Communicable Diseases. Also see Part I, Section 7 for Public Health Standards and Protocols.
