How far should the government go in isolating people with an infectios diseases? Should the army be involved?

  The government can isolate patient because of the infectious disease.  These patients should be generous since more people may get the same disease and die.  However, the military force can be a part of isolation if these patients look angry and try to come out by force.  The military can only encircle these people but not kill them.  The patients also need to cooperate well due to all of us are caring about their lives.
