Today we're talking about infectious disease and involuntary confinement (sound relevant?)!
In Greene v. Edwards, a man with active tuberculosis wasn't given a proper hearing before being involuntarily confined and in City of Newark v. JS, a homeless man is considered a non-compliant patient. Both cases present a difficult reckoning with our constitution and our individual rights.
We'll be joined by Dr. Sapna Iyer to discuss due process, constitutional rights, and the obligations of the state. Oh yeah, and there is some COVID talk on this episode.
As always, we would like to thank Fifth Music for our theme song: www.instagram.com/jcb.lrd
