I won’t read any filth from the socialist workers party. We should all know where they stand with the destruction of America

I wish they would stop calling her nurse, she isn’t.

Had to hunt for the part about “racist” behavior. Supposedly, the politicians “hysteria” regarding containing ebola led school children to taunt two Senegalese children, caused people traveling from Africa from a region distant to Sierra Leone and other ebola hotspots to be detained, and something about a sporting event where some people chanted “ebola’ at the foreign players. Something like that. I still don’t see hysteria or racism.

And still no one can tell me for what benefit we take this risk.

Apparently, Ebola-for-all has become a big lefty cause. They don’t think it’s fair that Africa has it, and evidently they claim that it’s “racist” of us not to want to be exposed to it. That’s Obama’s feeling, and they’re just expressing their master’s wishes.

since Ebola is only contagious when people are symptomatic

Pray tell, Kaci, where will you be when/if you become symptomatic, huh? Not inside a Level 4 containment unit but in the middle of Maine. 13% don't get the initial fever and 18% don't go hemorrhagic, so explain to me again about when exactly it is that someone becomes contagious.

That is my understanding, too. She is a "health care administrator/researcher, right? Do you have a link or other documentation?

but not before New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie sounded off. Christie made it sound as though Hickox was an ingrate for not wanting to be locked away for three weeks

Once again, all references to Hickox must lead back to and slam Christie. This is about Christie, not e-bola.

She’s a hysterical jerk. She had a fever. She was with a young girl who died after she shoved crushed meds down the girl’s throat(viral load very high).

I think that puts her into a higher category of risk according to the guidelines, and it was appropriate to isolate her at least long enough to get a couple of tests over 72 hrs.

Quarantine others-yes. That’s why Ebola patients should be taken care of at the special centers, so regular health care workers are available and not risking exposure.

If I said what I really feel about this “nurse”, I’d probably be banned.

If anyone sees Kaci, or a person being monitored, with the Hiccups, consider that you may be in the immediate vicinity of a symptomatic ebola carrier:

I got this far:"...has taken against the racist scaremongering of U.S. politicians in response to the Ebola crisis."

What "race" is a virus?

If we're going to break it down that way, I'm for the Human Race surviving, and the virus going down. I guess that makes me "racist".

(rolls eyes)

The judge has made the ruling and this is how it will stand...

The judge thinks everyone else is confused — but seem he has no idea what a quarantine is issued for... Not AFTER someone shows symptoms - but BEFORE they do so as not to have people exposed at the unknown time of eruption of symptoms and infectiousness ... A quarantine is issued to keep people isolated because of their prior exposure and a statistical likelihood they they can and maybe will present symptoms whether they are present or not at the time of quarantine...

If she shows up with symptoms tomorrow morning and then had the ability to infect others - you cannot put the genie back in the bottle... She would potentially infect others while having coffee at the local cafe — a little projectile vomiting anyone with your donuts? Until she passes at least the 21 days period of average incubation - as with Dr. Spencer she is capable of becoming symptomatic and infectious in an hours time... The Judge is powerful and ignorant of science and medicine.... while claiming everyone who thinks otherwise is wrong.

Political Correctness is a disease nearly as bad as Ebola - because when applied in the wrong situation it can well kill people.

Judge rejects Ebola quarantine for nurse

In a case that has come to encapsulate the clash in the U.S. between personal freedom and fear of Ebola, Judge Charles C. LaVerdiere ruled that Hickox must continue daily monitoring of her health but said there is no need to isolate her or restrict her movements because she has no symptoms and is therefore not contagious.
