El condado de Texas amenaza con arrestar y enjuiciar a los residentes con COVID-19 que se niegan a poner en cuarentena [VIDEO]

Un condado de Texas advierte a los residentes que si dan positivo por COVID-19 y se niegan a ponerse en cuarentena, serán arrestados y procesados:

Trang Ánh Nam – A county in Southern Texas is going after people who test positive for COVID-19, but refuse to self-quarantine.

The Brooks County attorney, David Garcia, said those people will be arrested and prosecuted.

Garcia made the announcement this week after community members notified his office of seeing people who tested positive at grocery stores and businesses.

“If you’re going to go out and endanger other people, and we find out about it, we will prosecute you,” Garcia told KIII. “People have not really embraced the dangers of COVID-19. It’s dangerous. It’s killing people, and it’s making people very sick. So either do it because you’re concerned about others or do it because you’re going to be punished if you don’t.”

Garcia also said if people continue to ignore safety precautions, they could face legal action, noting there are a number of statutes that can be used once someone tests positive.

If you are positive with the Kung Flu just put on a BLM shirt and you will have a pass to go anywhere you want. Problem solved.

¡Habla sobre un enfoque de mano dura! Tal vez podría entender una cita de algún tipo, ¿pero arresto y enjuiciamiento? Caramba.



Pero la gente parece apoyarlo ...

While many residents appeared to support the idea, others were concerned it won’t be effective.

“I don’t see how something like that can be enforced,” said resident Roxie Fuller. “I don’t know that they can.”

“We need to be responsible for our actions, and if we’re not going to be responsible for our actions because we’re trying to protect other people, well there’s a punishment for it, too,” Garcia said, adding that at the end of the day, it’s up to everyone to follow the safety guidelines for the good of their neighbors.

Brooks County is around 80 miles north of the Mexico border and has a population of approximately 7,200.

Siempre he vivido en ciudades más grandes. Pero he conocido personas que viven en áreas de poblaciones pequeñas, y a veces parece que cuanto más pequeña es la población, más líderes dictatoriales se preocupan por las cosas. Y yo diría que esto califica.

Además, esto solo alentará a las personas a "pelear" entre sí y crear división. Solo una idea terrible.
