My quarantine hell.

Turns out, she works for the CDC, not docs without borders as reported.
As usual, it's all politics.

Meanwhile, soldiers will all be quarantined after being forced to visit lovely Africa.

Rumor AND few other boards say she's a D and Prefers same gender.

Something I need to get straight because I have read conflicting stories.

Was this nurse forced into quarantine after she was already home or was it upon her arrival that she was ushered into quarantine?

For me this is an important distinction. If they came and picked her up at her home without her showing symptoms, I have a problem with that. But if they sent her into quarantine as a condition of gaining entry back into the states then cool.

NJSP grabbed her from a gas station as she was refueling. They had a BOLO on her.































JK.
However she was quarantined after returning, not off the plane.

Her article said it started as she was checking in with Customs. I don't believe she went anywhere besides straight from the airport into quarantine.

its reasonable...

if you have not read the effects of this plague, its way way bad, a little time to read and check your facebook in order to protect the public.. whatever

Well, we'd been discussing how the handle people that find their way here and who may have had exposure to ebola, citizen or not.

The WH has been discussing how to actively IMPORT Non-citizens here for treatment. Here the "sensitive" memo that basically says we have an obligation to bring Non-citizens here and treat them...

So what are the legal ramifications of someone with Ebola neglecting to take any precautions and infecting someone else, and it results in their death?

I wish I could point at that and scream that it's foil hat BS because of the header typo but it reads like something State would write. I understand why the government and government employees can't be sued for just doing their jobs but anyone involved in authoring that memo without flatout protesting it as trash is a freaking traitor in my book. This administration has been nothing short of astounding when it comes to the sheer quantity of political appointees who should be prosecuted for misuse of official powers and out-and-out treason or when it comes to the number and extent of governmental agencies they have corrupted.

Institutions that used to be stalwarts of the American Way have become political extensions of OFA and 1/3 of the voting populace can't or won't see it.

I don't see what the big deal is? Fresh accounts of active stateside Ebola were declining. Something had to be done.

Same as someone with HIV KNOWINGLY having unprotected sex. IIRC a few "working folk" have been jailed for it, one of them from the metro area.

ok so I accept that certain government entities have the right of quarantine (not all)..

they still have a mandate to do it in a manner consistent with upholding our rights as citizens.
not sure I would call a crappy tent in a parking lot surrounded by barbed wire and armed guards meeting that standard..

understand the need, but like all government goat roping.. its all about execution of the quarantine that will get you blasted

I don't believe the quarantine was a crappy tent in a parking lot -- that was probably the initial screening point for high risk personnel and it was probably set up that way because 1) it was done fast, 2) the state felt they had to do SOMETHING in light of the administration's unwillingness to embargo commercial travel from the affected areas, 3) it was meant to be temporary for the existing crisis, and 4) they wanted something they could disassemble and disinfect quickly rather than have to clear out and sanitize a whole wing of an airport terminal.

IIRC, she was ensconced in a sanitized quarantined room with access to the amenities for her 2-3 days "in hell".

The only problems I have with the situation are her whinging and that the governors bowed to pressure and let out of quarantine early.
