My quarantine hell.

I don't know where these medical folks get this idea that they get to go play with Ebola and then there irresponsible asses can just come back to the states and run freely. With have a constitution and they have all the rights as every one else............until they start infringing on others. Well I would say that since they could spread a pandemic with a70% chance of death that they have waived there rights. Don't want a quarantine don't go to Africa. Be responsible. Kinda like dont go to work if your sick. No one wants you there and no one wants ebola here.

I love this attitude. It's what's going to eventually cause ebola to run rampant across the U.S. if we don't keep enough people in power with the "let's just be extra cautious; shall we?" attitude.

Lemme see. You voluntarily go into a community known to possess one of the deadliest diseases ever - one with a 70+% mortality rate, you work directly with those who are infected, you watch person after person die horribly from this disease & you think you should be able to just waltz back into the U.S. like you've been treating a case of the hiccups?

"But, I'm a medical PROFESSIONAL. I observed every precaution and there is no possible way I could have become infected."

There are many who feel that the quarantine should be in whichever foreign country these people were potentially exposed. Anyone who's been overseas knows the potential for half-assing this sort of thing, or corruption negating it completely. No, if we want to ensure it's done correctly, we have to do it ourselves.

Good post.

[bobbyfairbanks]

Dr ebola Mary should have been post title.

[spqrzilla]

She works for the CDC, the whole thing is political posturing from Obama admin.

[Great-Kazoo]

Now she knows how some gun owners are SCARED about over reaching .gov laws.

[tim-adams]

yeah, there are reasonable precautions that should be taken for those who have been "in close" to active ebola..

Not so sure, might want to look a little deeper at the quarantine "law": http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2014/10/...-ebola-threat/

The woman was not showing any symptoms of Ebola, or illness of any kind, when she landed at Newark, CBS 2’s Jessica Schneider reported. But Friday evening, she developed a fever after being placed in isolation at University Hospital in Newark, according to the New Jersey Department of Health.

And Cuomo and Christie said it no longer matters if someone is showing symptoms or not.

And this view on this situation: http://www.naturalnews.com/047398_go...isolation.html

I don't want to contract Ebola any more than anyone else, but this kind of thing can get out of hand really fast. How is it any different than any of the other violating laws that are on the books? "But, it's for the children". "But, it's for the safety of the whole nation". "but..."

There's a fine line, and I believe, for the record (since it's posted here) that NY and NJ have officially crossed it.

I guess you missed the part where patients can falsely test negative when they're not showing symptoms yet or the part where the most recent doctor in NY wasn't showing symptoms until after he'd gone bowling and traveled via the subway. In fact, I believe he self-quarantined once he was symptomatic but whether that was sufficient is whether you believe the CDC really knows enough about the disease to say it is not communicable until the patient is symptomatic. Quarantine has been used historically for exactly these kinds of cases to contain potential infections and prevent their spread into a pandemic.

NY and NJ crossed all kinds of lines of stupidity years and years ago; NYC just reinforced that stupidity by electing diBlasio but I don't see an issue with quarantining high risk personnel for 3-6 weeks before they enter the general populace.
