Next, we should note that some will inevitably resist, just as some people refused to wear or get vaccinated during the covid pandemic, endangering others, and some plague victims fought the doctors who tried to treat them. We should defend the right of the plague doctor to defend himself from half-mad plague victims trying to kill him, and, as an extension of the same principle, emphasize that pacifism is impossible in this situation. This must be an orderly government action, carried out legitimately through the mechanisms of the law, and the only institution currently possessing the technical capabilities to carry out the evacuation to quarantine facilities is the national guard.

We could note that, the current situation being a disaster of unmitigated proportions, we could, as a first resort, enlist the help of FEMA and the CDC to evacuate southern baptists to quarantine centers for their own safety, citing a major epidemic (which is true). Many would go willingly. Only afterwards would we need to send in the national guard, and only in response to noncompliance.

We should note, as an aside, that there may be certain legal hurdles to jump in order to carry out this plan through the proper institutional channels- certain regulations, like the writ of habeas corpus, may need to be suspended in some areas as a temporary, emergency measure, as they were by the great Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War. We should take care to reassure the people that these safeguards will be restored when the crisis is over.
