How to enforce two weeks quarantine mandate in Houston/Carlos Pueblo
Yesterday I learned something new of my Chinese Wuhan Novel Corona Virus Pandemic study, how to enforce two weeks quarantine mandate in Houston. If you come back from anywhere from an aircraft, you are required to have a two weeks self quarantine at home to prevent spreading the disease to the other person and the community. It is essential to control the out break disease. During an electronic Sunday preaching, her pastor has been a witness to the fact how the city to enforce such quarantine. The Mayor orders the police to check on people randomly., i.e. stands outside the window and check on your Texas Driver's Licence as an example. People offended will be issued a citation.
This has been a practice in Taiwan since the out break at the end of last year. The disease commander's office will issue an order to the traveler's address reported on the record. The receiving officer is a paid elected government chief of the area about a subdivision size in the U.S. Usually, there is at least an assistant to help him for the daily business routine. It has been proven effective since the Chinese SARS out break in 2003. The government system is inherited from the colonial era of Japanese Occupation between 1895 to 1945. It also works very well for some elections and oppresses the political dissidents during the Chiang Kai-sek era. For those repeated offenders, the fine can be up to one million New Taiwan Dollars which is equivalent to U.S.$ 33,333. For this is the reason why Taiwan is in deterrence for this disease effectively. I believe that South Korea is another nation which in practice this way even go farther to use crime prevention camera to trace the contact of the infected.
It makes more sense for the Mayor to utilize the facility of the police force to enforce the quarantine order. It is more efficient and makes more sense in a micro city management. We are going to make it through eventually.
