Immunity Cards "Under Discussion"

Can you imagine that after the coronavirus "crisis" is over people would be required to carry an "immunity card" or other documents stating that you either are immune to the coronavirus or survived it in order to go anywhere within the country?

Such an idea is under discussion. Sounds like something under Nazi Germany or the Iron Curtain, as Rush Limbaugh pointed out this morning.

From Politico:

Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, revealed Friday the federal government is considering issuing Americans certificates of immunity from the coronavirus, as the Trump administration works to better identify those who have been infected and restart the U.S. economy in the coming weeks. 

“You know, that’s possible,” Fauci told CNN’s “New Day,” when asked whether he could imagine a time when people across the country carry such forms of identification. 

The proposal is contingent upon the widespread deployment of antibody tests which the National Institutes of Health and the Food and Drug Administration are in the process of validating in the the U.S., Fauci said.

Strangely, the left wing website, The Week, posted:

This is a proposal with obvious appeal, possibly a way to move our economic and social lives back toward normalcy without risking the efficacy of the pandemic response. But the precedent of requiring special papers to appear in public is troubling. The history of "papers, please" is not exactly a shining beacon of freedom. Rightly does the phrase, in American minds, summon visions of Nazis and Soviets.
