If the nurse is considered a hyphenated American, chances are she’ll get some money out of this.
If we didn’t live in bizarro-world she would never have been allowed to return until she was cleared.
Damned if you, damned if you don’t.
NEW YORK (AP) — Officials in three states have enacted 21-day quarantines for any travelers arriving back in the United States after having contact with Ebola patients in West Africa. But they've said little about exactly how they'll enforce such strict rules.
What an entitled woman.
At least she’s admitted she only does charity work for the accolades.
She was late for a big bowling date!
Every time I read something like this I am reminded of the OPPOSITE, St. Fr. Damien of Hawaii.
He knew that if he went to the Kaluapapa Peninsula on Molokai to minister to the lepers, he would not be able to return to Honolulu, as the law at the time put the Leper Colony under strict quarantine.
Yet, he did go, and contracted the disease. He died among the people he willingly went to serve.
We now know that Hanson’s Disease (Leprosy) is not nearly as communicable as was thought at the time. However, based upon the state of medicine in the 19th Century and the limited knowledge of the disease, Fr. Damien knew what he was getting into and did it anyway.
And THAT’s why he has been canonized as a Saint in the Catholic Church.
I have no doubt that he is indeed a saint in heaven and right now is enjoying life everlasting in the presence of God. (I am an Evangelical, BTW)
Even if he had never been officially canonized, he is beloved of the Hawaiian People, and everybody remembers and loves him.
And THAT, my FRiends, is what Real Charitible Medical Missionary Work really looks like.
JMO.
After Negative Ebola Test, Quarantined Nurse Criticism of Treatment at Newark Airport get a response of too bad! Go complain to your collegue doctor buddy that took subway rides, went bowling and a night out on the town while infected with Ebola.
Are these people completely brain dead?
if they wont atop flights from ebololand how about a tax per ticket to pay for screening etc say $1000 a ticket oh that would be racist asking users to pay their share...
Well...who would want to spend 21 days in NJ under any circumstances?
It was her choice to come back at this time. She could have stayed over there. She acts like she wasn’t already living in a tent in those third world countries. Next time, we’ll be sure to rent out the Hilton for her.
Just wait until these arrogant people start flying into countries that have direct routes into our smaller airports. Or they’ll be booking cruises back to the US to avoid the quarantines in NY.
Did she miss her bowling night?
This woman is a whiner and complainer. Sorry ‘bout the chaos;
that’s not good. Not sorry ‘bout the detention and $$ spent to insure
your well being and ours. It should have been perfectly obvious to you why you were being detained!
I'm sure this is true of the majority of aid workers. This quote from Mrs. Cuomo seemed just a bit "dense" to me though since what she talks about here is exactly what happened in NYC recently, via an aid worker (an MD no less) who did precisely that: "ran around and possibly exposed people" until we knew.
What kind of nurse doesn’t understand the purpose and value of a quarantine?
Really? She’s angry? Anyone who had contact with her and lived in fear of contracting the disease should sue her.
