Once upon a time, it was standard practice to quarantine people hosting highly infectious diseases. The came AIDS and that strategy simply wasn't politically correct. We might be implying something nasty about the gay community by quarantining them. Since then, I've never heard of quarantine being used. Has it?

The myth that quarantining gay people would stigmatize them was foisted by the so-called "leaders" of the gay community in the San Fransisco area. Those guys were community "leaders" because they were rich, they owned the very popular gay bathhouses, the sites of orgies virtually every night of the week. They floated the idea that quarantining would stigmatize the gay population for the same reason they constantly downplayed the AIDS situation and impeded distributing information about AIDS, they would lose business and might even have to close their very lucrative bath houses. It was all about the money, those rich guys did not care how many people caught AIDS, as long as their business did not suffer.

Since they come from 200 miles away, might this not be an over reaction?
