Part of it is law, part of it is norms. Employers violate laws all the time. What actually matter is if they think they could get away with it, or if it would be worth the potential hassle. I'm in Canada, and we have stronger labour laws than the US (though they are still routinely violated.) They could probably get away with it if they really wanted to, but I'm fairly confident that my employer wouldn't fire me for being quarantined. The risk/reward for them just doesn't really make sense.

The US has poo poo labor laws in terms of protecting employees stuck in a quarantine situation and only a small number of US states provide even basic job protection.

FMLA is so mindblowingly useless. All it says if that if you work at a job with 50+ people they can't fire you during the 12 weeks you are using it.

I had to use it recently when I was getting my brain treated and I still had to eat my PTO and then take unpaid time.

Yeah paid sick time in the US sucks vs other countries.

My company only gives 1 week of sick team, after that you have to start using vacation then unpaid time off.

China accusing the USA of overreacting (by putting out a travel advisory) while they're putting massive cities on total lockdown, then comparing these travel bans to the loving Holocaust, is beyond the loving pale.

But you can't be a leftist and criticize the Chinese government because apparently that makes you a support of the total shitshow that is the American government :jerkbag:

Projection with Chinese characteristics.

Those videos of waking up to find their apartment doors welded shut were something else.

Viruses and parasites in general do not actually want to kill their host. A virus that kills its host dies too, and doesn't spread at all. That would be a pretty bad virus.

Yeah it's why Ebola will never reach global pandemic levels since it's too lethal and rapid once you get away from the animal reservoirs sources.
