Do you just object to the word "camp"? Fine, call it a facility or hotel or whatever makes you comfortable. The facilities are just as likely to be repurposed malls or hotels as built from scratch camps. What has happened in quarantine hotels so far though is people go nuts after a day or two alone, so a camp structure where they can have carefully measured portions of socially distanced and masked human contact makes a lot more sense.

If this makes you uncomfortable you need to toughen up fast. We have vaccination rates in BIPOC communities well below 50% in many areas and they're likely going to have to be rounded up en masse by the National Guard during the next variant. It's not going to be a pretty look but it's necessary in order to have a functional mandate.

This won't make sense to you at this time, but the next variant will make Delta look like a cakewalk. 97% vaccination rate or higher is required. The big guy said it himself.

Again, toughen up. We need everyone to support the science, even when it's not pretty.
