What caused the neglect, and why is this the first time it's happened?

I changed the premise. Is it better? I can't decide.

Why has this been allowed to happen on 5 isolated occassions?

I understand what you're saying, but I can't think of a solution...

Do you have one?

I agree, why has this been allowed on 5 separate occasions?

I'm not sure neglect can be characterised as a mistake. More a dereliction of duty but that's too wordy. Incident?

I added that there has been mistakes but no deaths- until now.

Does that clear it up?

I'd say get rid of "the first death," as it's clunky and grammatically incorrect.

Great issue idea!

Personally I'd reword the opening to be something more along the lines of this:

Yesterday, several dozen immigrants from the nation of Brasilistan were released from @@DENONYM@@ quarantine. However, reports have emerged that two children died because of neglect from the quarantine officers in the three weeks that they were confined. After several such mistakes, the issue has been brought to your attention.

Conserative Morality wrote:"It's not time yet" is a tactic used by reactionaries in every era. "It's not time for democracy, it's not time for capitalism, it's not time for emancipation." Of course it's not time. It's never time, not on its own. You make it time. If you're under fire in the no-man's land of WW1, you start digging a foxhole even if the ideal time would be when you *aren't* being bombarded, because once you wait for it to be 'time', other situations will need your attention, assuming you survive that long. If the fields aren't furrowed, plow them. If the iron is not hot, make it so. If society is not ready, change it.

I would add the word facility after "quarantine" in the 2nd fallout.

Do I wait for an issue editor to say "submit it", or what?

I never knew the answer. It would be much appreciated.

Usually, wait 2 weeks to a month, or wait a week with no comments. If you really want, you can badger an editor, but they wouldn't appreciate that...

This has been up for about 2 months.

This is Final Call.
