We both tested negative on our last test.
While it's true that 1/2 the country is still unvaccinated, it seems strange to me to be quarantined to protect those who are unvaccinated by choice, especially considering the vaccine is free.
Or course, your mother's immunocompromised condition is a much stronger argument. Is covid the only disease that puts her life at risk? Are there other diseases we should isolate people for having, to protect the immunocompromised?

I also attack my side if I think they're wrong. People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

Interestingly, the number of "new cases" is spiking again:

However, the number of "deaths" isn't doing as bad, perhaps because of all the vaccinations:

Yeah, I really don't have a good argument for protecting the unvaccinated, though I do sympathize with many of them who make their choices based on misinformation or lack of knowledge. I look at it more as 170 million people or so who are again clogging up hospitals and taking up limited ICU beds, particularly in rural areas where vaccination rates are lower and hospitals are smaller and less staffed.
With immunocompromised people places like hospitals and nursing homes historically take precautions by mandating flu shots or masking. COVID and especially the delta variant are exponentially more contagious and deadly than the flu though, a pandemic virus that we've yet to get control over can't really be compared to other illnesses that are much less contagious and deadly.

Thoughts?
What happened to you is about not being able to get on a plane, though. It's one thing to talk about general quarantine, but it's another altogether to talk about allowing known infected people to hop on a box with 100 other people and share the same air for hours.

The restriction was a general quarantine though, as we weren't allowed to leave the quarantined area, with a guard posted at all times.
We learned that about 40 people at the resort, who felt ill but were allowed to leave after testing negative, had checked themselves into a clinic/hospital upon arrival back in the US and then tested positive for coronavirus. So unfortunately, LOTS of infected people hopped on a box with other people and shared the same air for hours. 
I guess the lesson is that if you plan to fly, be sure you're vaccinated.

I was actually just talking to some Canadian coworkers the other day, they don't want Beiber either.
They said we can keep Drake, too.

Here's a video of some people in the hospital wondering if they should have gotten vaccinated. One of the guys who was interviewed died shortly thereafter...

If you can listen to jimmy dore that's a good indicator you're a sheeple.
Anyone with half a brain gets through about two minutes of his drivel and realizes he's selling fear to idiots.
