Someone put this little conceited non-professional freckled faced red-headed bitch in jail please. She is a plague all by herself.Maine health officials are prepared to "pursue legal authority" to enforce a quarantine Tuesday as reports surfaced that Kaci Hickox, a nurse who treated Ebola patients in Sierra Leone and shows no symptoms of the virus, doesn't intend to obey the quarantine.
"We do not want to have to legally enforce in-home quarantine," Mary Mayhew, commissioner of the state Health and Human Services Department, said at a news conference. She wouldn't comment on Hickox's case specifically, but Hickox's attorney told the Bangor Daily News that his client — who was quarantined against her will in New Jersey upon her return to the U.S. — "doesn't want to agree to continue to be confined to a residence" beyond two days.

When she comes home, should she get free university education or an enforced quarantine in a tent without running water?

So that's two health professionals who don't think they need to worry about silly things like quarantining themselves.

That one nurse in her tent had 3 negative test results and didn't show any symptoms.Dilbert_X wrote:

While there certainly are cases where the first symptoms only showed after 2-3 weeks, those 21 days of quarantine are just to be sure in a case of uncertainty.
And 3 negative test results certainly are a sign that she is not infected and does not need quarantine.
They check the blood for antibodies, which of course are only concentrated enough after a certain amount of time, but they also check for virus RNA itself, which is immediately detectable and will get you the results a day or two later.
Mass hysteria escalated by sensationalist media.
Funny thing, on one hand US Americans seem to have an outspoken anti-government "freedom" mentality, but suddenly it's A-OK to force healthy citizens of good standing into quarantine for no good reason.
Well... Conservatives are more anti big gov, while liberals are ok with government controlling some shit. It's not that everyone flip flops, it's that there's two major schools of thought.globefish23 wrote:

Small government vs Big government debates are bullshit. Everyone wants a big government for other people's stuff and small government for their stuff. Ignore all that crap.

Whether the govt can force them or not, the responsible thing for them to do would be to quarantine themselves for the standard three weeks - given the disease is poorly understood, the incubation period isn't very clear and the tests available aren't entirely conclusive.globefish23 wrote:

But no, they think its A-OK to wander around cities, go on the subway etc.
I think a lot of them are egotists who go on plague tours and refuse quarantine to get attention.

They probably expected for people to throw them a parade when they got back like we do with our soldiers here.

Oh, AIDS and malaria are less, because Ebola killed of those people faster?SuperJail Warden wrote:
What an interestingly useless correlation...
I'm pretty sure you could find a time period in the past months, where many, many more people died from Ebola than the other two diseases.
Now that would make for some hysteria-inducing high bars.
Especially if they are kept in that sinister red.
How about you mention that GlaxoSmithKline are producing another 10,000 doses of their vaccine?
Or that a company in Vienna has successfully treated an Ebola patient in Frankfurt with a peptide that counters the vascular leak, thus prevents the internal bleeding, especially in the lungs?
But please, continue your ride on the fearmonger train.
If ebola occurred in Asia, macbeth would be crying out that we should do our best to help them.
seriously macbeth? comparing it to aids now?

That has got to mean something.
Yeah it's got to mean it belongs on a cable news program that uses fear mongering and plays to emotions PURELY to get viewership and report false news.

Would you sit next to a person on a plane who has ebola?
No open wounds? No bleeding? No puking? No shitting themselves?
Yes.
Yes.

Influeza virus subtype H5N8 has occured the first time outside of Asia in a German turkey farm.
A 3km radius restricted area has been set up, with a 10km radius observation area.
In a 50km radius no poultry is allowed to be kept in the open.
The virus has not occurred in wild birds.
Now that's something actually worth mentioning.
About 400 people have died from the avian flu in the past 10 years, and the virus is easily spread by droplet infection and - obviously - by birds.
Furthermore, it is merely a subtype of influenza, which means it could mutate and much more easily spread among humans.

The person would not be sitting in that plane then anyway.
