You mean Plan-demic. its the new 9-11 its the freaking flu people. Look after your little kids and old folks make sure you don't get any lung infections you'll be fine.
The Massachusetts Senate has unanimously passed a pandemic flu preparation bill that has languished in the Legislature before the recent swine flu outbreak.
The 36-0 vote today sends the measure to the House. Both branches have taken it up in past years, but have not been able to agree on the details.
The new Senate version would allow the public health commissioner in a public health emergency to close or evacuate buildings, enter private property for investigations, and quarantine individuals.
The bill specifically mandates the following:
(1) to
require the owner or occupier of premises to permit entry into and investigation of the premises;

5th Amendment
(2) to close, direct, and compel the evacuation of, or to decontaminate or cause to be decontaminated any building or facility, and to allow the reopening of the building or facility when the danger has ended;

(6) to control ingress to and egress from any stricken or threatened public area, and the movement of persons and materials within the area;
1st Amendment
(7) to adopt and enforce measures to provide for the safe disposal of infectious waste and human remains, provided that religious, cultural, family, and individual beliefs of the deceased person shall be followed to the extent possible when disposing of human remains, whenever that may be done without endangering the public health;
