Kaci Hickox, a nurse who treated Ebola patients and threatened to sue New Jersey over being quarantined before she was discharged, today threatened to sue Maine if officials there do not lift a 21-day quarantine restriction.
I will go to court to attain my freedom, Hickox told Good Morning America" today via Skype from her hometown of Fort Kent, Maine. I have been completely asymptomatic since Ive been here. I feel absolutely great.
Maine's health commissioner said Tuesday night the state will "pursue legal authority if necessary" to keep her quarantined.
Hickox, 29, arrived at Fort Kent Monday, but is not staying at her home. She was discharged from a New Jersey hospital after spending the weekend quarantined in an outdoor isolation tent at University Hospital in Newark, New Jersey.
The Doctors Without Borders nurse was checked by officials at Newark Liberty International Airport Friday after arriving from treating Ebola patients in Sierra Leone. Hickox says she believes the temperature that officials said prompted her detainment in the hospital isolation tent was incorrect.

The data shows 21 days is not enough, and Obola knows it.

Told my wife last night that quarantine denies her the emotional ticker tape parade she was (IMHO) hoping to have.

But she is Doing Good to officially designated Underprivileged People, so she is allowed to do evil to the overprivileged people surrounding her.

Just shoot her. Wait a minute... Hold the phone...
Have we found the one woman on the planet for which Laz will not say "I'd hit that..."
Maybe not until the incubation period has run, perhaps...

She’s like a mental patient.
A mental patient will feel fine, while on their meds.
Then, they conclude they are fine and stop taking meds.
Then they get sick and do stupid things.
The dopey nurse should be in quarantine.
To: caligatrux
Have you seen her “tent”? It WAS a nicely-appointed temporary unit, like a mobile ICU unit, ,complete with a cushy hospital bed, wifi, water, tables, chairs, a view to the outside world. It wasn’t like a camping tent. It was a specially designed isolation tent, with all the bells and whistles for monitoring her. It even had a special type of portable toilet, in case she did have Ebola. The waste would need to be disposed of properly.
This girl is a prima donna whiner of the highest order.
To: Haiku Guy; Lazamataz
Feed her into a limb chipper/shredder that has been conveniently backed up to a catfish pond.

She’s a quintessential liberal - too special to have to follow the rules that others must be forced to.

Doctors Without Borders meets Nurses Without Morals.
This is a good organization. Sadly all it takes are a few people who can't grasp the urgency of this situation, to tarnish it's fine reputation.
