Just to bring a little historic perspective to this.........

When TB was the demon we were battling on the public health front, people were routinely confined to sanitariums for treatment. Given the state of medicine at the time, this meant being kept comfortable until you died of the disease or you were one of the lucky few whose body fought off the infection.

The articles referenced are at best loosely based on the truth. In quoting 1980's era laws regarding FEMA, the authors ignore the many changes that have been made since then, and also ignore Posse Comitatus, which prevents federal troops from being used in law enforcement duties. Neither article is balanced in any way, and both are allowing their views of the current administration to override the facts of the situation.
