If you don't believe me just look at past accounts of history and what happened to every society that practiced inhumane treatment towards "third rate citizens".

Give them good housing, facilities, peace of mind they are not at risk to many uninfected, social groups that will not fear them. A place they can go on with life in a more normal way. I'd also put a focus on IT. And finally make sure there is sufficient medical care there, and this would perhaps make an excellent center for research into AIDS. • Containment • Good Environment • People they can relate to And of course the option to leave if they wish, but of course the goal is to make it good enough that they don't want to.

• Containment
• Good Environment
• People they can relate to

And of course the option to leave if they wish, but of course the goal is to make it good enough that they don't want to.

Flu viruses like avian and pandemic swine are new to humans and giving them a kindergarten in which to practice on human cells without the pressure of an healthy immune system response is the most irresponsible thing you could do. Not to mention all the other bacteria, viruses and pathological fungi that need some practice on vulnerable humans before they are adapted enough to succeed in the larger society. Worst idea ever.
