I heard that another doctor lied about what he did and where he went after he was symptomatic.



You come back from that area...quarantine.  That is part of the deal.

I don't necessarily disagree -- especially since the US government apparently thinks every US serviceman who set foot in Liberia has to be quarantined, regardless of exposure -- but she does have a point that she is not dangerous until she shows symptoms.  The judge might look at that fact and refuse to forcibly quarantine her until she becomes contagious.

Sure. If found to justifiable by a judge or magistrate or other legal due process. I haven't followed this story too closely but what I gather is she was being held against her will, by non-enforcement people. But there is too much 'round 'em up and put 'em on the trucks' types for me. However, it is curious, and fun, to see otherwise 'stalwart freedom supporters' flip at the first sign of (remote) trouble. Or is it some sort of tribalism? Seems she needs to be labeled as a Democrat or Liberal first to justify.

1)How many times did Dr Ebola test negative before he tested positive after riding around the subway with symptoms?



2)The "Experts" don't have a full understanding about how this spreads. Months ago they were telling us you have to be in direct contact with an infectious person, i.e. touch them without protective gear, now the CDC is sending out memos about being able to get it by getting sneezed on.

Yup....you dont need a genius level IQ to see the need for quarantining someone who may possibly have a virus that is as deadly and mysterious as this strain of ebola .



Stupid twat needs a few bean-bag rounds to her gut the next time she decides to get some fresh air .





And by the looks of the location of her house , and the fact that rifle season opens tomorrow , she'd better confine herself before some yocal up there takes her out with his grampy's old ought-six

She's not the public persona she's holding herself out to be. The all giving angel of mercy victim of heartless pale male oppression. She's all about fruit cake appearances instead of anything of meaningful substance. Feminist theory advocate. She's a control freak. I bet she's an incredible pain in the ass to work with .

The Government is basing the quarantine decision on the concern for the safety of the public. If FUBO and the DOJ say that the arguement is invalid then the SafeAct should be found similarly invalid as it is completely based upon the governments perceived need to ensure public safety at all costs, including the Constitution.

This isn't AIDS, this is Ebola, which the CDC has now admitted can survive on a doorknob or table or any other surface for over an hour after being sneezed or coughed on.




The whole point of a quarantine is that she doesn't wake up one morning and go inadvertently sneezing or coughing on people in the grocery isle.




As far as the gun analogy goes, it's fucking bullshit. If a gun wanted to go off by itself without any human intervention then by all means, quarantine or ban the thing.




If I owned a gun or potentially carried a virus that I had absolutely no control over then I would be more than happy to quarantine or give it up.

Catch phrases are nice for a perfect world.

Ok my question and it may have already been answered.
If ebola has a 21 day incubation period she could test negative for the first 16 days but on day 17 she could start showing symptoms and test positive. Is that correct?
Read above that the CDC said the virus could live outside the body on a door handle for an hour. So back to the 21 day thing. If she some how sneezed and on a door handle on day 10 but was testing negative and no symptoms. Would the virus still be in the droplets she sneezed and able to be transferred to someone else?

Just trying to get a better understanding of all this.

Yes, and I understand that means she's not contagious at this point.  She might start having viremia in the future, however.





What galls me is the fact that in Africa she has doubtless helped quarantine others on the possibility they might be contagious, but when her own country wants to apply the same standard to her suddenly it's a gross violations of human rights.





If quarantines work for poor Africans, then they work for rich Americans, too.

i thought the whole point behind the 21 day quarantine is that you can still test negative for UP TO 21 DAYS. ?

Part of the problem is that she has not done the things she said she would do in order to gain her release from NJ.  She told Maine and NJ officials that she would go home and self quarantine.  Then she decided to take a side trip to Freeport for a day (LL Bean or some other shopping places there for all we know) without telling them.  Then she decides she doesn't need to actually quarantine herself unless she becomes sick.  At what exact point does one become infectious?  Do we really know?...and does she pay close enough attention to notice that precise moment or is she too bussy trying to make a statement to notice that exact point?  By that time she could have infected people since she seems to think it's OK to just mingle with everyone and act as though she never went to Africa and never treated ebola patients.  She's just an attention whore.

Yes, and I understand that means she's not contagious at this point.  She might start having viremia in the future, however.

My understanding is the Ebola is HIGHLY infectious and perhaps as few as one virus is all it takes to become infected.

I'm not sure a negative test result means there are none in the blood. And with Ebola, it only takes one.

I don't believe we have solid science on this.

Holy Shit a lot of you guys are wrapped too tight. Apparently it's ok to espouse 'individual rights', except of ZOMG! SHES GOING TO KILL US ALL!!! WHAT ABOUT MY PRECIOUS CROTCH FRUIT?!  LOCK HER UP!!!  Based on what I'm reading here, if some ARFcom 'staunch firearm support' member had been a victim of the Sandy Hook massacre, they'd vote to abolish the 2A. Without hesitation or graduation. But which would be understandable.

I cogitate about vigilantism, Typhoid Mary or the Japanese Internment camps, and realize times don't change much.

But I don't really care in any case.

Oh FFS, it is a reasonable quarantine for a very reasonable time period in order to make reasonable precautions about a virus whose incubation period is 21 days or so.  OMG the tyranny!!

No, I am just tired of special snowflakes and the people who defend them...especially under the false guise of freedom and liberty.  What an absurd dichotomy.  I guess some animals really are more equal than others, especially when their own actions brought about the situation.  She should have enough respect for her fellow man to self quarantine anyway thus avoiding the need for such measures. It is people like this who ruin it for everyone else.

Three weeks in quarantine should be required for all workers that have contacted ebloa victims.

Even Dr Craig Spencer self quarantined at home (and at the bowling alley, and at The Meatball Shop, and on 3 of the city's most heavily traveled subway lines) when he returned home! If it's good enough for a Dr - it should be good enough for a nurse, dammit!

No. It's that exactly. Or is it just fun to pretend we have 'freedom'?  That blue quote is pretty ironic, though.  Interesting to see beneath the superficial belief and what lies under.

I agree she could have handled it more appropriately, but she chose not to. In a way, she isn't "ruining it for everyone else", people that refuse to support her decision are.




SHE'S A WITCH!!! BURN HER!!!

This.  She is a selfish self centered individual with absolutely no respect for fellow human beings or her obligation as a health worker.  At this point she is a pariah, her career and future life is ruined.  Who the fuck would hire that nut and expect her to follow rules and behave in an ethical manner.

It doesn't mean you're free to infect other people with a deadly disease.



I remember when the 'AIDS epidemic' was sweeping across the nation. I recall the paranoia people had; not swimming in the same pools or playing sports with them, etc.  Didn't seem much call to lock people up then.

Is it now time to talk about reasonable gun control?

if she ends up spreading Ebola   she will see a jail cell


No she won't. That's the problem, there is no penalty for showing up and recklessly spreading a disease like this one.


have you ever heard of typhoid mary?


Yep.  Three people died because she was an asymptomatic carrier of typhoid and worked closely in food preparations.  Not the same conditions or time period.
