Do you honestly believe that the Guy volunteered to go into quarantine?
He is a Doctor who had to realize that he was infectious when he got on the damn plane to get to the airport that would take him back to Canada.
God only knows how many folks have now been exposed .
This is not over by a long shot.
I think (and hope!) that you may be making a leap there. I don’t know that it is true that he has, or even was exposed to Ebola. I mean physically exposed, himself, obviously he was around people who had it. My understanding is you need to have direct fluid to fluid contact, it’s not spread via air or anything like that.
I’m thinking this guy was back in Canada and then learned that his co-worker had gotten sick. At that point he goes into quarantine.
If that is NOT the case then I agree we have a problem.
This seems to be the problem with this outbreak, there is a longer incubation period. Usually people got this and pretty much immediately got very sick and died. Now they are kind of wandering around for a while, not knowing they’ve contracted it.
I also read that you are not contagious until you become symptomatic. But, you know, I’m not sure they are 100% right about that.
And I’ll also say this, after all the lies from this administration (and I think the lefties might just say that Bush was a liar too which I don’t really agree with but that gives you pretty much 100% of the country feeling like they’ve been lied to over the course of the last 12+ years) I’m disinclined to believe a word they say about anything.
So, yeah, we could have a very serious problem on our hands sooner than we would like.
Yes, I believe he went into quarantine voluntarily.
There’s no reason to accuse this DOCTOR of knowing he was infectious when he got on the plane, because if he knows that, he knows something that’s not in the current medical evidence.
According to all the medical evidence, even if he does come down with the virus, he was not infectious when he got on the plane if he wasn’t exhibiting symptoms, which he was not according to all the media.
Could the virus mutate to be more infectious? Yes.
Would I prefer that there’s no ingress or egress from countries in which there are Ebola cases and the doc had to stay there instead of returning to Canada? Absolutely.
But you’re accusing the guy of knowingly risking everyone on the plane (and by extension, everyone outside of the countries where Ebola has a foothold), and I don’t think that’s in any way fair or correct here.
