'Bed chains' for Canada SARS violators
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/2953496.stm
A top Canadian health official has warned people that they might have to be "chained to a bed" if they violate the strict Sars quarantine rules in Toronto.
The Toronto authorities are investigating four deaths linked to Sars which have raised fears that the outbreak could be spreading further than previously thought.
The deaths last week happened at a hospital away from areas identified as being affected by the pneumonia-like illness.
"I don't know how people will like this, but we can chain them to a bed if that's what it takes," said Ontario Health Minister Tony Clement.
He was referring to reports that some people in quarantine were not sticking to the required 10-day isolation period.

If infected people are doing things that may kills thousands of people, they deserved to be chained to a bed to protect the rest of society. Not infecting other people is a reasonable request.

You can kill two birds with one stone. Put the violators in jail, then the jail population gets SARS, and the jail population decreases and the jails are not overcrowded anymore.
