Oppose Intrusion of Privacy Rights
 

We the People deserve respect of privacy rights.  I oppose mandatory reporting of flu or flu-like illness as an unnecessary intrusion into our personal lives.  People need healthcare and treatment in such times, not more government involvement in our daily lives.  I also do not think this should be fast tracked as the flu is quite common and more time in the consideration process means more people can have awareness of the proposed regulatory changes.
