A coronavirus patient refused to quarantine, so deputies are surrounding his
house to force him to

一名冠狀病毒患者拒絕隔離，所以警察包圍了他的房子強迫隔離


 (CNN)A Kentucky novel coronavirus patient checked himself out of the
hospital against medical advice. So to prevent him from spreading the virus,
officials are surrounding his house to keep him there.

(CNN)一名肯塔基州的新型冠狀病毒患者不顧醫囑自行出院。因此，爲了防止他傳播病毒
，警官們包圍了他的房子，把他困在裡面。

The 53-year-old man in Nelson County refused to quarantine himself after
testing positive for Covid-19, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said.

肯塔基州州長安迪· 貝希爾(Andy Beshear)說，納爾遜縣一名53歲的男子在檢測出
covid19呈陽性後拒絕自我隔離。

Nelson County officials "forced an isolation" on the man, one of the first 20
confirmed Covid-19 cases in the state.

納爾遜縣官員對這名男子進行了“強制隔離”，他是該州首批20例確診COVID-19病例之
一。

"It's a step I hoped that I'd never have to take," Beshear said in a
conference on Saturday. "But I can't allow one person who we know has this
virus to refuse to protect their neighbors."

貝希爾在週六的一次會議上說:“這是我希望自己永遠不會邁出的一步。”“但我不能允
許一個我們知道有這種病毒的人拒絕保護他們的鄰居。”

Beshear didn't share then how the government had forced the unnamed man to
stay in his home.

貝希爾沒有透露政府是如何強迫這名匿名男子待在家裏的。

But this week, Nelson County Sheriff Ramon Pineiroa told the Kentucky
Standard that deputies will park outside of the man's home for 24 hours a day
for two weeks. The patient is cooperating now, Pineiroa said.

但本週，納爾遜縣治安官拉蒙· 皮涅羅告訴肯塔基標準報，警員們將在兩週內每天24小時
把車停在這名男子的家門口。病人現在正在配合治療，Pineiroa說。

When reached for comment by CNN, the Nelson County Sheriff's Department
deferred all comments to Beshear.

當美國有線電視新聞網(CNN)聯繫到納爾遜縣治安官部門請其評論時，他們把問題都推給
貝希爾。

Nelson County Judge Executive Dean Watts told CNN affiliate WDRB the measure
was necessary to keep the community safe.

納爾遜縣法官執行院長迪安· 瓦茨告訴CNN下屬的WDRB，爲了保證社區的安全，這項措施
是必要的。

"This is about us, not about 'I,'" Watts said. "So quarantine is a must. If
we have to, we'll do it by force."

“這是關於我們的，不是關於‘我’的，”瓦茨說。所以隔離是必須的。如果有必要，我
們會用武力解決。”

Most state laws for imposing quarantines are fairly broad. Kentucky law gives
the Cabinet for Health and Family Services the power to declare and "strictly
maintain" quarantine and isolation as it sees fit, according to the National
Conference of State Legislatures.



The federal government hasn't authorized national quarantines or isolations
yet, but President Donald Trump has that power. Under the Commerce Clause of
the Constitution, a president can issue an executive order authorizing
isolation or quarantine for several contagious diseases, including severe
acute respiratory syndromes like Covid-19.

聯邦政府還沒有批准國家隔離或隔離，但唐納德· 川普總統有這個權力。根據美國憲法
的貿易條款，總統可以發佈行政命令，授權對幾種傳染病進行隔離或檢疫，包括像
Covid-19這樣的嚴重急性呼吸系統綜合症。

心得：
美國刁民。

當一個總統反覆告訴人們不要相信醫生，不要相信科學，不要聽信任何權威的時候，這就
是我們所能預料到的糟糕事情。

@DonnaCupp
逮捕他。把他關進監獄醫務室。不要浪費人力

@jccmakai
如果這種愚蠢和自私在肯塔基州很普遍，這也許可以解釋爲什麼@senatemajldr
是一個參議員。

@Amber67157106
由於我們沒有足夠的試劑盒，總統一直在撒謊，浪費人力在一個人身上推行馬歇爾法，而
成千上萬的人被感染，這太荒謬了。
