Hi, I'm Kaci Hickox and I can guarantee everyone with 100% accuracy that I don't have Ebola.
In fact, I'm willing to bet your lives on it.

A nurse who treated Ebola patients in West Africa before being briefly and controversially quarantined in New Jersey could be the focus of a new battle over state health policy as she returns to her home state of Maine.
Kaci Hickox left a Newark hospital on Monday and was expected to arrive in the northern Maine town of Fort Kent early Tuesday. Maine health officials have already announced that Hickox is expected to comply with a 21-day voluntary in-home quarantine put in place by the state's governor, Paul LePage.
However, one of Hickox's lawyers, Steve Hyman, said he expected her to remain in seclusion for only the "next day or so" while he works with Maine health officials. He said he believes the state should follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines that require only monitoring, not quarantine, for health care workers who show no symptoms after treating Ebola patients.
"She's a very good person who did very good work and deserves to be honored, not detained, for it," he said.

Can you imagine the s-storm that will occur if she gets sick in the next two weeks?
Doesn’t Maine have a Republican governor? I know it’s a very liberal state, though.
I can’t stand this woman. Ebola’s Sandra Fluke.
I don’t understand how anyone who is giving enough to volunteer to risk their life by helping in another country can turn around and be so uncaring and selfish upon returning home.
What’s the big deal about staying in-of-doors for 3 weeks to make sure you’re ok, and show your fellow citizens that you’ll make that sacrifice to ensure everyone else is safe as well?
The lawyer’s quote is exactly what is wrong with this country.

***”She’s a very good person who did very good work and deserves to be honored, not detained, for it,” he said.***
“Deserves to be honored, not detained.” I guess it’s all about her, and not public safety.
She needs to be quarantined for her own good and the good of others she comes in contact with. She’s being a selfish beeotch...
I was thinking the same thing. If she does develop it (and I hope she doesn’t, because she just needs to go away), then Christie and Cuomo will be vindicated.
I do think detaining her in a tent was a bit harsh. What about some used RV’s for this purpose? They would be comfortable and would be easily decontaminated. Not that it would have made much difference to this nurse. She probably would have whined if she were detained in a 5 star hotel.
Maybe there are some RV’s still left from Katrina :).
She is another Leftist who has to have her way, just like Hillary. What a Bitch.
“People need to stop judging her and just appreciate the good she’s done.”
This is so quintessentially “liberal” - don’t judge them based on behavior or the harmful consequences, just on “the good” they did or intended to do.
If I were in charge in one of these States, I would be handing out Free Passes to tour the White House and Congress along with a 3 night stay in a real nice Hotel in DC including Travel to EVERY PERSON coming from an Ebola Country or region.
>> “She’s a very good person who did very good work and deserves to be honored, not detained, for it,” he said.
What pablum! She has not been detained for her “good work”, she is (was) being quarantined due to the risk of spreading a deadly virus.
Doctors - not nurses - doctors, have followed safety protocols and cleared airport screening and became symptomatic days later. The risk is too high. The genie can not be allowed out of the bottle or the numbers of infected persons will crush any health system.
CDC employee Hickox knows this. She is either an incredibly self-centered ignoramus, or a political plant.
It’s because she was doing this, not out of concern for others, but for how it would look on her resume. Helping out over there was just supposed to be an enhancement. I don’t think she really cares about others, because if she did, her quarantine would be a non-issue.
She reminds me of Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Looks like her younger sister with the mayonnaise hairdo. Really creepy.
Works for CDC, is an activist Obama supporter. Acts like a little two-year old brat because people don’t recognize her awesomeness and how she shouldn’t be treated like the patient cattle she’s likely done the same thing to.
This person reeks of drama queen and being too much me me. She’s a primadonna looking for her fifteen minutes. For her sake she better not have ebola or she’ll have her fifteen minutes the hard way and she’ll be more reviled than she is today.
"It's all about me and what I want.
She does need to be quarantined.
She has tested negative for the virus but that doesn’t mean much of anything.
You can have Ebola and still test negative!
You won’t test positive until your body has created enough antibodies to register on the test.
That’s why there is supposed to be a 21 day quarantine!
Tents are being set up at hospitals as temporary fixes because of what happened at Texas Presbyterian. They brought an infected patient into the hospital, and now they are going broke, because other patients refuse to go there anymore.
I like your idea of an RV if it could be decontaminated easily, but a tent is still pretty practical as an option.
This chick is just a prima donna drama queen.
I just read my comment and realized it may have sounded like I was yelling. That was unintentional as I was agreeing with you. I’m sorry if I came off wrong.
