Once portrayed in the press as the face of noble resistance to Gov. Chris Christie’s draconian policy of consigning health care workers who were potentially exposed to Ebola in West Africa to a mandatory quarantine, nurse Kaci Hickox is rapidly expending the media’s politically-motivated goodwill.
While it is fair to say that most members of the medical community believe that Hickox is not a threat to those around her – she has tested negative for the disease, reports that she is feeling fine, and would not be contagious at this stage even if she were infected – some medical professionals are not entirely positive that Ebola cannot be spread by asymptomatic individuals. It is out of an abundance of caution that a number of states, including Hickox’s home state of Maine, have requested that at-risk individuals abide by a voluntary in-home quarantine.
Hickox is not playing a long. The media darling who threatened to sue the state of New Jersey for violating her constitutional rights is now insisting that she will not self-isolate. On Thursday, Hickox left her house for a bike ride with her boyfriend.
“Kaci Hickox and her boyfriend stepped out of their home Thursday morning and rode away on bicycles, followed by state police who were monitoring her movements and public interactions,” the Associated Press reported. “Police couldn’t detain her without a court order signed by a judge.”
Hickox contends there’s no need for quarantine because she’s showing no symptoms. She’s also tested negative for the deadly disease.
State officials were going to court in an effort to detain Hickox for the remainder of the 21-day incubation period for Ebola that ends on Nov. 10.
It was the second time Hickox broke quarantine.

If there is any justice this selfish b***h will come down with ebola. I hope she does not infect anyone else. Her boyfriend must be a real piece of work too.
I think you misspelled that last word...
Honestly, I think this nation is about to be Ebola free. Now if we could just speed up the Obola free part.
Your concerns are reasoned. I recognize that. These people are out of their minds, and out of control.
New to Free Republic. Greetings.
This woman is a terrible example to other health care workers and to any other possible future vectors of Ebola who might arrive on our shores. Few people have enraged me as much as this wretched, selfish person.
Kaci’s picture is in the dictionary under “spoiled brat.”
You’re welcome!!
Welcome to Free Republic.
Your comment is in harmony with MOST of the posters on this thread.
Great letter from Dr. Rustebakke!
No tinfoil needed. This Bitch on Wheels is an Obama operative.
BINGO. You are the winner.
Your prize is a full Hazmat suit.
I’m hoping NOBODY will do anything about it if she comes down with the disease. I hope she is left to die a horrible death in her home, along with her boyfriend.
Kaci....Please explain why your boyfriend isn’t going to classes or perhaps even....to work.
I am with you PLUS she apparently went through a 2 year program at the CDC to be an ‘intelligence’ officer.
This hole thing doesn’t pass the giggle test
The CDC has no intelligence to speak of. That's the problem right there. They are like the keystone cops running amuk...so she is well trained by them by golly. It all fits together now.
If by strange circumstances she eventually becomes sick and infected with Ebola can you imagine the number of law suits, at every level imaginable, civil and personal that would suddenly be filed?
sometimes it takes balls and this governor doesn’t have them. Too bad a health official backed by a sheriff doesn’t step up.
We are at the mercy of incompetents and cowards.
Look up the soldiers for 21 days when they don’t have direct contact, but health care workers, they bike with their boyfriend in Maine or take public transportation in NY and then go bowling.
Who’s in charge, no one.
and would you want to give your blood with antibodies to her or those she infected....

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...
