Kaci Hickox Won't Follow Maine Ebola Quarantine Rule,
ABC NEWS ^ | Oct 28, 2014

Posted on 10/28/2014 8:48:19 PM PDT by george76

Kaci Hickox, the nurse who was quarantined at a New Jersey hospital despite exhibiting no Ebola symptoms after arriving from West Africa, won't follow the quarantine imposed by Maine officials, her attorney said tonight.

"Going forward she does not intend to abide by the quarantine imposed by Maine officials because she is not a risk to others," her attorney Steven Hyman said. "She is asymptomatic and under all the protocols cannot be deemed a medical risk of being contagious to anyone."

...

Maine requires that health care workers such as Hickox who return to the state from West Africa will remain under a 21-day home quarantine, with their condition actively monitored, Gov. Paul R. LePage said in a statement.

"We will help make sure the health care worker has everything to make this time as comfortable as possible," he said.

Hickox left University Hospital in Newark Monday afternoon and was taken to Maine,

Here, I’ll say it.

I hope she has Ebola.

Kaci Hickox Won't Follow Maine Ebola Quarantine Rule,

Perhaps you could have possibly had some sympathy for the accommodations she had before, but this more than negates it. It's appalling. Now she won't stay in the comfort of her own home for a few weeks if for nothing else to make the public feel safe? Some nurse.

Her concern for Ebola-stricken Africans seems to be the limit of her concern or compassion for others.

That pretty much sums it up.

Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your......

(hat tip to: fivecatsandadog!)

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...

She’s no bio-threat, IMO. But the eyebrows scare me as much as eyebrows like that scared me as a kid, when dinosaurs walked the earth.

For some reason, those eyebrows remind of the monster Kirby vacuum cleaners of the early ‘60s.

“Hickox demonstrates why ebola quarantines must be mandatory, not voluntary.”

Do we have any proof that she actually cared for Ebola patients? Other than what we’ve been told by her federal employer? It’s just all too convenient. It’s as if she’s TRYING to create a clamor for forced quarantine (also known as incarceration). Just follow that line of thinking for a moment.

Be careful what you clamor for.

there is a definite nexus between working at cdc and ignoring a lawful quarantine she should be immediately suspended and fired unless she can beat the quarantine in court..either way she is making the cdc look bad..

The freakin nurse could remain asymptomatic for days. Who the Heck CARES that she’s fever free currently. Get your freakin @ss into quarantine!
96% of Americans support quarantining these returnees. We don’t want a pandemic. And here, is the fing WH & Josh Earnest mewling like 2 year olds — crying about the “disrespect” we”re showing this poor heroic lady in the face of a DEADLY INCURABLE Disease!?
These WH people - they’re Insane. They should all be removed from their posts immediately.

I’ll say it for you. I hope she dies spewing her own blood from every orifice in her body. Without contaminating anyone else, of course.

Fort Kent ? Small, backwoods town. No apartment buildings that I recall. And I would not be surprised if her house burns to the ground some night. . .

Maybe she’ll take a walk along the Allagash, and just won’t come home again...

Just another self-centered leftoid who believes she is above the law and so much better than the little people.

If she was a muslim queer with black skin she could be a democrat presidential candidate - she’s got the requisite attitude and lack of respect for other Americans.

Well no problem. A jail cell will suffice and then the loss of her nursing license should wrap it up............
