First things — first: this is the right public health approach. And if she is in fact the study abroad university educator I think she is, she well knows this is a risk of “Semesters at Sea” programs. And she should be mindful of her fellow… humans (to say nothing of her students).
That said, it is deliciously ironic — that after Tangerine’s campaign was based in some large measure on saying the COVID-19 lockdown was a violation of people’s civil rights… that now, he is in the position of having his acting CDC Director issue federal administrative arrest orders — should Ms. Perryman forcibly try to leave the Univ. of Nebraska quarantine facility in Omaha, before her 21 days have elapsed. That’s… fascinating.
In any event, here’s that story — and a bit:
…Angela Perryman, an American passenger exposed to the deadly hantavirus on a cruise ship this month, expected a short stay at a special quarantine facility in Nebraska after her arrival last week.
On Monday, after making plans to depart, she received a federal order requiring her to stay for at least two more weeks. Health officials said they would contact law enforcement if she tried to leave.
“They are requiring us to remain in a locked facility and threatening us,” said Ms. Perryman, 47, “and denying us the right to home quarantine.”
Federal health officials did not respond to requests for comment. But the order Ms. Perryman shared with The New York Times says officials believe she would “constitute a probable source of infection to other people” if she left the facility to travel to another state….

These are simply wild… times. Onward to bike rides, and after school / dinner / park picnics. Out.
