 Why Police Put this Hospital on “Lock Down” – and Even Turned Ambulances Away  


  On August 21, 2015, police locked down a hospital in Danville, Kentucky, over concerns about a public health risk.” They turned away ambulances (which, you would think, would contain patients with legitimate emergencies).

Apparently, this was a huge deal that we should all be concerned about.
So, what was it that caused this panic? Avian flu? Polio? Bubonic plague? No.
It was chicken pox.
Our society has gotten to the point that we are so terrified of any potential health inconvenience that a case of chicken pox is justification for a complete police lock down of a building.
It makes you wonder what will be the next justification? Will they lock down your children’s school over concern that someone has a sore throat? Will you be put in jail for quarantine the next time that you have a cold if the police find that you haven’t taken the flu shot that year (never mind that last year’s flu shot was for a strain that was not the most common strain spreading that year)?
How much more sheer pathetic wimpiness are we going to tolerate in our society so that the police state can justify any and every little thing that they want to impose upon us?
