I fear we are not out of the woods yet with the Hick-Ox woman.
Dr. Craig Spenser returned from Africa on Tuesday, October 14. He was diagnosed with Ebola nine days later on Thursday, October 23.
Kaci Hickox returned from Africa on Friday, October 24. Add nine days to that date and you have Sunday, November 2.
Eastern and northern Maine is expecting a snowstorm this weekend. If she starts having symptoms today, tomorrow, or Monday, what is the nearest hospital to her home in Fort Kent? Is that hospital prepared to isolate an Ebola patient? If not, will she be airlifted to Boston?

I’m fine with Kaci Hickock riding her bike and walking her dog and mowing her lawn.
She shouldn’t have people visit her house, and she shouldn’t go into town.
We’re not out of the woods, but she is almost certainly not infectious - right now.
A quarantine for arrivals from Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone has to have a uniform design and correct implementation, or it can’t work.
Neither of these were present in this case, and, as activists (she and the judge) saw the loophole and drove right through.
It’s not too late (unless the Quarantine Act of 1878 is declared unconstitutional), but there is no will, anywhere in the government, to do it.
What in Heck's wrong with this woman?!
And what about MY rights Kaci ?
Your right end where my right begin. And, I have a right to not be infected by you.
If I were to become infected then I have the right to sue you for damages due to your negligence and my family will sue you for wrongful death, and you should be in prison for manslaughter.
Just wait, it’s coming. Kaci will run for some kind of political office?
This just shows how far down the food chain the Dems have corrupted the government!

Ok. so it did seem heavy handed and traumatic for this lady for three days. When she got a better deal in the warmth and comfort of a residence, she could have thought it over. For the good of all and peace of mind, she could have then complained freely. Worked off her angst in that way.
This while taking the quarantine. After all, three weeks in a comfortable hospital bed would be even more of an inconvenience. This for the average citizen. She knew that.
I’m sure getting sick of hearing about this Debbie Wasserman-looking loon. I’ll be glad when her 15 minutes are up. Her BS is getting old.
There are many photos of her bicycling. She’s wearing a helmet. So she is protecting herself while endangering others.

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
