Hickox says she'll finally take precautionary steps, defends her fight against quarantines
New York Daily News ^ | November 2, 2014 | Adam Edelman

The defiant Maine nurse who made headlines for openly disobeying New Jersey- and Maine-ordered quarantines upon her return from West Africa admitted Sunday that her 'community has been through a lot.' But she refuses to apologize for her battle, accusing Gov. Chris Christie again of mistaking 'an abundance of caution' for 'an abundance of politics.'

The defiant Maine nurse who has aggressively fought her government-ordered quarantine, has finally softened her tone.

Days after a Maine judge rejected the state's attempt to keep Kaci Hickox quarantined, the freewheeling caregiver admitted she'll take precautionary steps to appease federal and state medical officials and concerned members of her community.

"I understand that the community has been through a lot in the past week," Hickox said Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press." "And I do apologize to them for that. I will not go into town into crowded, public places."

Nevertheless, Hickox, 33, whose public battle against officials was triggered after she was placed under mandatory quarantine in New Jersey upon her return from West Africa by Gov. Chris Christie, remained critical of the policies that resulted in her isolation in the first place....

Thank you for the urls.

re:
NURSE KACI HICKOX FOUND TO HAVE LIED TO OFFICIALS, BREACHED ORDER

It is unclear what the lie was.
Or was it an omission about her infected roommate?

“She’s a case study of how to antagonize the neighbors”

I think that is exactly what happened. I think her neighbors have “spoken” to her.

Her type is the type that needs shot at the first sign of major national problems.
We are very close to the first signs of major national problems.

looks like someone didn’t foresee Hickox becoming universally reviled. The consequences of living in a bubble of yes men for the Obama regime.

Hickox says she'll finally take precautionary steps, defends her fight against quarantines.

Because she realized every time she approached a store in town a sign was put up in the window, "Gone to bank. Back in 1 hour."

Tin foil time: the whole thing is a ruse. This would explain why she is acting ignorant and not rational. Once we find out she has Ebola all off America will demand complete executive authority for quarantines.

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.


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

(Since all records of obama's past were lost in a tragic boating accident and fire, no one can be certain that the guy in the red circle isn't him...)

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...

"Could it be that she is not "clean?" And what about that roommate?"

A thought crossed my mind: Could it be that Hickox is a carrier, and the roommate contracted the disease from her.

Maybe because her roommate has Ebola now?

Honestly, I hope she comes down with Ebola.

I also hope she is cured of it, but that her having Ebola humbles her a bit. Her arrogance is distasteful ...

"Typhoid Mary" - "Ebola Kaci" - everything old is new again.

Just because everyone you know greets you in a full HazMat suit is no reason to get upset Ms. Kaci Hickox. Think of it as protection against a potential Ebola carrier. Yes, dear, that would be you.
