WHO Doctor Suggests Door-to-Door Searches To Find Sick and Then ‘Remove Them and Isolate Them’

“In some senses, transmission has been taken off the streets and pushed back into family units. Now we need to go and look in families to find those people who may be sick and remove them and isolate them in a safe and dignified manner.”

Something about his use of the word “dignified” is chilling, as if there is a proper manner for removing a private citizen from his or her family and home.

He went on to say that “the transition from movement restrictions and shutdowns and stay-at-home orders can only be made if we have in place the means to be able to detect suspect cases, isolate confirmed cases, track contacts and follow up on the contacts’ health at all times and then isolate any of those people who become sick themselves.”

Although it seems reasonable to a doctor to track those who have come in contact with the disease to make sure they aren’t infecting others, being in the midst of a pandemic makes it nearly impossible without eventually sending government officials to visit all citizens to check on their health.

Measures such as these can easily be turned into tyrannical government involvement in the lives of private citizens.

Maria Van Kerkhove, another infectious disease epidemiologist and COVID-19 technical lead for the WHO Health Emergencies Program, tweeted a similarly subtle yet worrisome indication of the types of measures that might be used to justify authoritarian control.

“‘(Repeat with me)’… love this! Find, test, isolate and treat every case and trace every contact, engage all people, physical distancing, hand hygiene, all-of-society, all-of-government approach, etc. = comprehensive strategy to beat #COVID19,” she tweeted in response to a comment about masks being important but not enough.

The Western Journal has reached out to the WHO for further comment but has not yet received a response.

The “all-of-government” approach is particularly worrisome as the government has the power to implement immense control with tactics up to and including the use of force. Since Van Kerkhove is not a politician, she is likely unaware of the implications of that kind of recommendation.

No doubt these doctors, along with the rest of their colleagues at the WHO, are doing their very best to keep everyone healthy, and their dedication should be lauded.

If recommendations such as these stayed in the realm of medical advice, it wouldn’t be so worrisome, but governments have used much less to justify cracking down on citizens.

Already in response to the coronavirus crisis, governments are increasingly using an authoritarian approach. Many U.S. cities and states have issued unprecedented and constitutionally dubious shutdown orders that use the force of the government to declare that churches must close their doors and certain businesses simply cannot be permitted to operate.

Drones are watching the people of Manhattan and “encouraging” them to practice social distancing (encouraging is how it always begins).

In Pennsylvania, Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf signed a stay-at-home order that resulted in a woman getting fined for simply driving down the road.

The spirit of the law is to prevent people from moving about the state and interacting, spreading the contagion. Going for a joyride with the intention of never leaving the car does not spread coronavirus.

However, as so often happens, the letter of the law can be used against a citizen simply by virtue of being enacted.

We have to be careful in scary times such as these that we don’t allow governments to take advantage, even if the recommendations begin as well-meaning.

Once freedoms are lost, it has historically taken a great deal of bloodshed to get them back.
