Utopia Talk / Politics / Who pays?

patom Member	Tue Feb 11 06:19:54 Who is paying for quarantining of all these people? Those being held in Hospitals. Are they paying the going rates? Those being held in Hotels or on Cruise ships?
jergul large member	Tue Feb 11 07:04:42 Patom There are old rules in place for that. The ship owner pays is the basic principle. Passenger transport in the high seas was regulated by international agreements pretty early.
jergul large member	Tue Feb 11 07:05:39 The hotels is a different matter. The Government would be responsible for that.
hood Member	Tue Feb 11 07:32:15 I think a few nights of quarantine are worth it to prevent us from becoming China with shit response and an overwhelming lack of cares about the population.
swordtail Anarchist Prime	Tue Feb 11 08:54:30 "with shit response and an overwhelming lack of cares about the population." like flint michigan?
hood Member	Tue Feb 11 09:13:08 I'm sorry, are we suggesting that 1 city is the same as an entire country wide government? But comparing Flint to China is pretty apt anyway. Most of Michigan is a shithole.
swordtail Anarchist Prime	Tue Feb 11 09:21:21 you should be sorry. your rugian is starting to flare up again.
TJ Member	Tue Feb 11 11:11:39 I imagine multiple sources will cover cost in an appropriate manner of responsibility. Government,insurances,employers and other disaster relief organizations. Not suggested as being accurate or complete.
patom Member	Tue Feb 11 11:17:14 I would imagine that there are a fair number of these people who have bills adding up at home with out their normal income to cover the costs. I doubt the banks and utilities will care that they were in quarantine.
TJ Member	Tue Feb 11 11:22:00 I think it fair to say some will suffer various difficulties.
