Unlike the F.E.M.A. "Death Camps" and fears about herding American Citizens via Railway Car to a Quarantine Facility in a staged Outbreak. These CDC
Quarantine Stations are at Ports of Entry. They are to evaluate incoming visitors, immigrants, and travelers during the time of a World-wide Epidemic,
and keep them quarantined before allowing Entry into the United States.
Basically, they are part of a Closed Border scenario to keep disease from spreading rapidly into the United States.
These were masterminded during the SARS scare and the appearance of a Treatment Resistant Strain of TB that became rampant World-wide and declared an
epidemic by the WHO. Although the United States saw very few cases, the CDC was concerned because it could spread much more rapidly in the United
States than other countries because of the frequency of travel both abroad and domestically by the average American Citizen.
So, these aren't really for holding American Citizens, but incoming visitors passing through Customs that may display symptoms of a communicable
infectious disease.
Most countries have similar Quarantine facilities. A local high school group were held in Quarantine facilities in China because they all registered
positive for having H1N1 when they went through Chinese Customs, even though none of them were symptomatic or knew they had it. The Chinese Quarantine
facilities treated them well, bringing them McDonalds for lunch and local Chinese food for dinner, and even brought in entertainers and cultural
artists and historians while they were held for 2 weeks. The Chinese even brought in Chinese Language Tutors for them. Even though the high school
group missed most of their trip, the Chinese gave them a Tour Guide and Bus to make up for the inconvenience.
