Are Covid Camps a Good Idea or Not?
What are Covid camps? Covid camps are these quarantine stations to help stop the spread of Covid. But is it a good idea or not? There are some people that believe that it’s not a good idea because once you’re better, you’re still around people that are sick. Others think that this is a good idea because it limits the amount of people you can spread it too and it’s contained to one place, making treatment convenient.
Covid camps (“Quarantine Stations”)are not a new idea. Covid was not the first disease that America had to conquer. The states, especially Philadelphia, began to construct quarantine stations as a response to the Yellow Fever outbreak of 1793. They also had them in 1799; they had the yellow fever outbreak in 1793 where many people were put into a quarantine station. The quarantine stations had originally started in Philadelphia, when the first station was created, so was the first hospital.
Civilians’ lives were disrupted with the Covid outbreak. Businesses were forced to close as people were told to stay home, students moved their education online and everyone had to mask up and practice social distancing. Everyday normalities were broken. People could not go out shopping for the things they needed. Incomes were affected making paying bills a hardship because people couldn’t go to work to support their families.
I got a quote from a teacher at Mt Harrison High School about people dying from being locked in their homes because of covid restrictions. The teacher Mr. Lewis said “that there was about 10 people that had died because the countries they lived in were locking them in the houses from the outside”
10 People Died In An Apartment Fire In Xinjiang. Their Doors Were Locked From The Outside Because Of Covid Restrictions.
On Doujin, the Chinese parent of TikTok, a video went viral on Friday of a high-rise apartment building on fire. A nearby fire truck sprayed water toward the building from a distance, but the arc of the water stopped short of reaching the actual flames.

I honestly didn’t know there was a thing called ‘Covid Camps’. How do they get their food and water? Is it just like a mini house?
