There's also a large hiring spike going on at DHS right now for "community organizers", or something similar.
They specifically mention separating families using Shielding, and having "counselors" onsite to help with trauma. Newspeak for government re-education.

These job openings all seem to be quintessential Bull Shit Jobs.
David Graeber postulated that half of all jobs are pointless.
It might be closer to 100% at somewhere like FEMA.

"What is the Shielding Approach?"
"The shielding approach aims to reduce the number of severe COVID-19 cases by limiting contact between individuals at higher risk of developing severe disease (“high-risk”) and the general population (“low-risk”). High-risk individuals would be temporarily relocated to safe or “green zones” established at the household, neighborhood, camp/sector or community level depending on the context and setting.1,2 They would have minimal contact with family members and other low-risk residents."
But the CDC is actually right on this though (for once). Protect the people that are weakest.

That depends on a number of factors:
Do germs make us sick? According to Bechamp, no.
Who's cares most about protecting a "weak" person? I'd posit NOT the government, and whoever cares about that person(family, friends), should be the ones responsible for determining how to protect them.
What are the health impacts of isolation? Especially with older people it's been shown that loneliness is a big problem. Keeping someone physically healthy means keeping them emotionally healthy. Our bodies are an integrated system, you can't piece-meal health.
If we have mask mandates, why not round up the vulnerable and protect them? I'm libertarian/independent so this type of shit freaks me out, but if it improves the lives of 98% of the population to just move about as they should and work and produce,

The problem is the organization determining who's vulnerable. If I was part of a corrupt government, and wanted to eliminate resistance, I think you'd be on my list of weaklings I need to isolate in camps. Why? Because you're a Libertarian, and thinking is dangerous for my longevity as a corrupt official.

I'm game for geezer camps (70+)
There's so many layers of lies to this whole thing
Older people should have been asked to stay home and younger people should have been instructed how to deal with stubborn older people.

Because you are not one.
First they came for the geezers and fatties... and I was not a fat geezer so I did nothing
Are There US Quarantine Camps Right Now?
Two years ago, attorney and Brownstone Fellow Bobbie Anne Flower Cox took note of the New York State executive order to permit the building and use of quarantine camps. The litigation against it is still in process. We might have supposed it was an outlying case. That, sadly, is not true.
It turns out that the first federal quarantine camp (not called that of course) constructed in one hundred years (since the Great War’s round up of Germans on US soil) was completed in January 2020 in Omaha, Nebraska. It was immediately used to house Americans kidnapped from their vacations from aboard the Diamond Princess cruise liner.
I first read about this in a July 26, 2021 article in the New York Times.
A shiny new federal quarantine facility in Omaha — the first constructed in the United States in more than a century — was finished in January 2020, just in time to receive 15 American passengers from the coronavirus-infested Diamond Princess cruise ship. ...
The history of the abuse of the quarantine power gives rise to chilling examples. Indeed, there is not a huge distance between quarantine power, quarantine camps, detention centers, internment camps, and concentration camps. They are all based on the state power to name a person or group as a threat, politically or therapeutically, and uproot them by force. ...
And it’s not just about disease. The quarantine power has been used by despotic governments all over the world to round up political enemies under the thinnest excuse. Fear of disease is as good an excuse as any but calling a group diseased has a long history of being politically charged, as students of eugenics and the Holocaust know.
The problem is not only the abuse; it is power itself. The facilities now being built – they were widely deployed in Australia during the Covid pandemic – are a predictable follow-up. And what could be the point of building and staffing such places except to use them? In government work, it is always the same: use the budget and the power or lose it to another competitive purpose.
This is another case of the overriding ethos in these post-pandemic times. Far from dialing back on their errors and pulling back on their powers, the entire sorry episode is being used as a template and excuse to ramp up the powers and plans, with every intention to cause a repeat of something similar. When that time comes, they will have far more than 20 beds ready in their facilities.
