CDC Discusses Confinement, Internment Camps for Those at High Risk of China Virus

The Centers for Disease Control is openly discussing internment camps for individuals with a high risk of contracting the China Virus.

Although a document at the CDC website appears to refer to settings outside the United States, the suggestion that governments should erect safe zones to quarantine healthy but at-risk people should alarm Americans already faced with mask and vaccine mandates.

In New York City, for instance, hard-left Mayor Bill de Blasio has closed some public venues to those who aren’t vaccinated, and the state legislature has passed a bill to indefinitely arrest and contain those who don’t have the contagious disease. 

It’s a short step from those measures to mandated confinement of the type CDC contemplates.

Green Zones

Dated July 26, the CDC document listed under “Global COVID-19” discusses “green zones” in which those at “high risk” of contracting the virus will be housed. CDC’s euphemism for the internment is “shielding.” The goal is to “protect high-risk populations from disease and death.”

Though “this approach has never been documented,” the agency says, “considerations are based on current evidence known about the transmission and severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and may need to be revised as more information becomes available.”

What sounds like a blueprint for a future action describes three levels of confinement. The targeted will be “temporarily relocated to safe or ‘green zones’ at the household, neighborhood, camp/sector or community level.” Each involves isolation. 

The lucky high-risk people will be at home, but “physically isolated from other [household] members,” CDC says:

Low-risk HH members should not enter the green zone. If entry is necessary, it should be done only by healthy individuals after washing hands and using face coverings. Interactions should be at a safe distance (approx. 2 meters). Minimum movement of high-risk individuals outside the green zone. Low-risk HH members continue to follow social distancing and hygiene practices outside the house.

The same rules will apply for the “neighborhood” level, and the “Camp/Sector Level” is next:

A group of shelters such as schools, community buildings within a camp/sector (max 50 high-risk individuals per single green zone) where high-risk individuals are physically isolated together.

Rules in the camp “green zone” will be tight. No one in, no one out:

One entry point is used for exchange of food, supplies, etc. A meeting area is used for residents and visitors to interact while practicing physical distancing (2 meters). No movement into or outside the green zone.

High-risk kids are not exempt from the “operational considerations.” They will be “be accompanied into isolation by a single caregiver who will also be considered a green zone resident in terms of movements and contacts with those outside the green zone.”

“Dedicated staff” will monitor the “green zones,” meaning they code and track the movements of the “green-zone” inmates.

New York has already moved to quarantine the healthy. A newly enacted law that awaits disgraced Governor Andrew Cuomo’s signature will give him the power to lock up anyone he deems a threat, including those only “suspected” of infection with a contagious disease.

The governor or one of his underlings “may order the removal and/or detention of such a person or of a group of such persons by issuing a single order, identifying such persons either by name or by a reasonably specific description of the individuals or group being detained,” the law says:

Such person or group of persons shall be detained in a medical facility or other appropriate facility or premises.

The state has considered the idea for at least six years.

It goes without saying that certain “high-risk individuals” will not be trapped in “green zones” should the Biden Regime implement the confinement/internment plan. They include President Joe Biden and family, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her bunch, Senators Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell and their relatives, tycoons such as Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, and anyone else with money and power. They will remain free to do as they please.

Border Invasion

One reason Americans might be subject to confinement is the illegal-alien invasion at the southwest frontier with Mexico. As The New American reported last month, official data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection show that agents have caught more than one million illegals since October 1, the beginning of fiscal 2021.

Unofficial data reported by the Associated Press put the latest monthly total for August at 210,000, not counting 37,000 who slipped into the country.

The Biden Regime is dumping those illegals, many infected with the China virus, into American communities. In some cases, they are flown into the heartland; in others, they board buses. In either case, they scatter where they wish.

On August 2, Bill Melugin of Fox News tweeted footage of buses arriving at processing centers from the border.

Biden has dumped 7,000 infected migrants in McAllen, Texas, including 1,500 in the last week.

In late July, police in La Joya, Texas, learned that illegals with the virus were freely running about town, and in one case were caught sneezing and coughing in a Whataburger.
