It just seems to be saying that quarantine may be compulsory rather than optional. And so it should be.

"Detention" for 48 hours is certainly a big change - especially given there is no positive test needed. Worth pointing out that this power give a constable the ability to use reasonable force while detaining someone -- made clear here www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2020/129/regulation/13/made

At some point we have to delegate and trust people to do their job.

At some point we have to delegate and trust people to do their job. I'm not complaining - but it would be a major escalation - perhaps it should be in the Corona Wuhan thread. I had thought this might elicit more surprise, or resistive comments - perhaps forced detention without any positive test for no real reason for almost anyone who's been overseas is no longer seen as encroaching on freedom anymore.

Yes sorry didn't mean to imply you were complaining. Does seem like almost armageddon at the moment so sweeping emergency powers feel par for the course to me.

If the infected were zombies would you want them detained or allowed to walk the streets?
48 hours seems like a pretty small limit. My French friends have to fill out a form to just step out of their house.

That's really what they want to be doing: grappling/man-handling potential carriers at close qtrs.

Once freedoms are lost, just try getting them back.
The people are not allowed to congregate to stop them protesting what is being done to them.

Things and life changes, the clog manufacturers no longer can draw the dole, move on.

In other words, do not mess about or you will SUFFER the consequences!!
