The headline is gross exaggeration. Link to actual NY State bill is below.

It mentions that it involves detaining a carrier in a medical facility during a publicly declared health crisis. It also contains language stating that a detained person must be released if confirmed to no longer be infected or pose a health danger to others.

Sounds a lot like "to each according to his needs and from each according to his abilities," only the STATE decides what you need and what you can do. I prefer good old American FREEDOM and LIBERTY.

That's basically been the law since they detained Typhoid Mary for almost 30 years, until she died. She was held on an island in the East River. Guess what--it was legal and constitutional, and far more so than your participation in incarcerating people without hearings in Gitmo.

If you disagree, please explain the difference.

Unlawful combatant Islamists who want to kill us can be held without charge or trial "until the end of hostilities." If that weren't so there would not be 39 left at Gitmo. You are dreaming again. Wake up!

The ol' two wrongs make a right trick.

Excellent legal analysis.

NY and NYC are a scarry place now. I was there a couple week ago and I didn't like having to show a vaccination card to be able to use a rest room. While the Boss Lady and I used to like to visit NY, I don't know if we will anymore.

I read the law at https://legislation.nysenate.gov/pdf/bills/2021/a416
The law allows for people to be detained for "an epidemic of any communicable disease". This is very concerning and is exactly how the article you posted discusses it. My personal opinion is that this law puts New Youk State on par with any other Communist Country in the world. How concerning for all of the United States.
