Why is nobody talking about the illegal imprisonment of Kaci Hickox?

[MaryL]

Well, nobody cares, that might be why.

We're damn lucky ebola hasn't mutated

Are you kidding me? Listen up, boys and girls! This is real life. This is not a Morgan Freeman movie.

Viruses don't just mutate over night into airborne transmitted pathogens. That takes millions of years of evolution.

She should be kept in quarantine until there is no threat of contagion. There is no civil right to spread a deadly disease.

Spoken like a true left wing imbecile. There is already no threat of contagion. More importantly, there is no legal grounds to imprison her. And no grounds for a liberty loving people to tolerate such an imprisonment.

Katzandogz a left winger? What crack have you been smoking? Your liberty is forfeit when you risk spreading a disease to the surrounding population. You don't have the freedom to risk killing people with a disease.

Such drama. The bigger question is why she didn't volunteer for it if there was any chance she could pass it on? I don't think they are doing it for the pleasure of denying someone freedom of movement.

The issue I have is that these people who are caring for Ebola patients overseas are allegedly professionals. As such, they should gladly carry out their respective oaths to do no harm and then accept their quarantine without trepidation.

So, should every health care professional who has treated an Ebola patient in the US be quarantined?

Cry me a river already. Boo hoo, next thread. Please.

So what would you have them do? Risk spreading the disease?

.....

So that's a yes? You think that all the health care workers who have treated Ebola patients in the US should be quarantined?

Wow.

Perhaps you should actually go to the next thread, if that's where you want to be.

Why are people shocked a do gooder for Africans would come back here and not even consider she would be a problem to us, the people of the country she obviously doesn't care about, Who would do such a thing?

A progressive would do exactly that. If she is so loose with her own quarantine what makes you think she followed any rules in Africa for preventing the disease?

You volunteered for a month long plus program and you can't add another three weeks of quarantine to your do gooder schedule to make sure you don't start an epidemic here?

Step one of defeating Ebola in Africa is making sure none of the disease can actually spread here. All that go to Africa to treat ebola patients should be quarantined for at least a month upon return. It seems to be good enough for our military who are not supposed to have any contact but were ordered there. So it sure as hell should be good enough for any volunteer directly treating these people.

Hey, brain damage, try to keep up. The question was whether health care workers who have treated Ebola patients in the US should be quarantined for three weeks?

Oh I see, if they treated someone in Africa or treated an illegal here in the states we need different policies. Who the fuck wouldn't have thought maybe you should treat them all the same?

You seem to have something in your mind, as fucked up as it is, that we need to treat people with possible obola exposure different based on where they came from.

The original case of the disease in the US came from some asshole coming here from Africa, he infected two nurses that were treating him. The next wave is coming from a doctor in New York who went there to treat people and came back here only to go bowling and pretty much like an asshole went about his business with no concern about people here. He took care of Africans but pretty much give a big fuck you to the people of New York. Now we have some special snowflake of a nurse that thinks she should be able to go bowling or bike riding right up until she show signs of the disease.

How about a crazy policy that would have all of them in quarantine for a few weeks just to make sure they can't spread it to people doing more honorable things like taking their kids bowling.

Mr. Swim, there's an old adage I was taught as a child.

"Better safe than sorry."

Your twisted sense of personal liberty seems not to include the surrounding populations. Why must they forfeit their liberty to preserve hers?

Simple answer is yes. This isn't a situation where you just get to punch your time card and go home. You don't seem to care if they pose a risk or not.

 

[MaryL]

Excuse me? Nobody responded to your original post? This is like the umpteenth response to this stupid thread. You want a medal or something?. This girl didn't have EBOLA. And Christy knew that? His honor did the right thing, for the sake of public health. SO.... That is a bad thing or what?

Then the simple answer is the workers should say fuck you very much, you go treat them.

No, they should treat the people of their own country with the same concern as they did the ones they went to help. And that would begin and end with not spreading the disease they are supposed to be trying to stop.

They know when they leave they are taking a risk, They need to follow through with the precautions that come with entering that risk. I personally think part of this great humanitarian effort of the benevolent snowflakes should be 21 days in quarantine in Africa. Keep the shit there. But since they return here and seem to think they are super special at least stay put for 21 days here.

 

[Politico]

This has nothing to do with treating people with respect. It's about leaving the house every day and saying I am going to work. Depending on what happens I may not be back for three weeks so don't wait up.

health care workers returning from Ebola affected countries all have a small but nonetheless actual possibility of infection

we do not know at what point a person becomes contagious

and it has been demonstrated that we can not trust the

good will of those returning to self monitor

the quarantine is a must
