WHEC online has this poll:

UPDATE: Kaci Hickox, the nurse who vowed to defy Maine's voluntary quarantine for health care workers who treated Ebola patients followed through on her promise Thursday, leaving her home for a bike ride.
WEIGH IN: Do you think she should have to be quarantined for the full 21 days?



Given that Ebola has a 21 day incubation period, and that supposedly it becomes transmittable only at the end, anybody that thinks 21 days is too long is a complete idiot.  But I am willing to bet that millions of NY democrats will feel heartbroken that 21 days is too long!

These fucking do gooders should not be able to leave West Africa until after a 21 day quarantine in country.

I say let them break quarantine, but if they do and end up getting ebola they don't get treatment, just placed in isolation to die for being a jackass

This. If you are dumb enough to go over there and open yourself up to the possibility of contracting a potentially deadly virus how is it ok to just jump on a plane possibly giving it to everyone on board?

Not stupidity but selfishness.



What I cannot reconcile is that she traveled to a third world country to treat patients, both of which involve significant risk, but she can't be bothered to quarantine herself upon return. First act seems selfless and the later selfish.

Given her further behavior, my suspicion is that she volunteered as a résumé booster.

As someone else pointed out in another forum, now that her name is national news and her actions are showing a clear lack of judgment, her future career in nursing is questionable at best.

... it was also pointed out, however, that one of the attorneys involved in her suit (Siegel) is known to be friendly with the White House ... and O doesn't want the quarantines.

Read into that what you will.

My sentiments exactly.  Go there, stay there.  Have a nice life, assholes!

Generally speaking, I'm not totally against the idea of a quarantine.

Having said that, what are going to do if the disease does make it over here?  How many of us on this forum are in EMS, the FD or a LEO, the sort of people who are going to have first contact with the patients?  How about the ER nurses and doctors who are going to be sitting on these patients while trying to get them moved to an approved quarantine facility?

If every single one of us gets quarantined after a patient contact if the disease becomes widespread over here, pretty soon there's going to be no one left to answer calls or take care of the non-Ebola patients.

Let other people press charges against people who defy the quarantine.

I'll toss a few cheery tidbits at you...

Doc, will your staff come to work?

Nobel prize-winning MD thinks quarantines aren't strong enough

We've been having some VERY tough conversations at home lately. Our housemate is an ICU nurse and has been told, "We will see an ebola case here. Period." I work in a facility that cleans and restocks a couple dozen ambulances daily (not my work, but same building). Do we get hotel rooms and not come home? What about the other people in the hotel, or the housekeepers there?

There is no easy and moral answer.

She should be quarantined for attention whoring.

She can quarantine at my place.

Why do quarantine and Quran sound so similar?

How about being under house arrest for three weeks because you sat next to someone that might  have had a disease.
Most cannot hunker down for three days let alone three weeks: food, finances, and friends run out fast.

Only 94% become symptomatic in 21 days... the remaining 6% take longer.

Hope she never gets hired again.  Irresponsible bitch.

All nurses be crazy.  What's the rule about crazy and sticking your dick in it?  Ebola's probably the least of your worries.
