A Maine nurse back from treating Ebola patients in West Africa followed through on her vow to defy the state's "voluntary" quarantine on Thursday, leaving her home for a bike ride.
Kaci Hickox and her boyfriend stepped out of their home Thursday morning and rode away on mountain bikes, followed by state police cruiser.
There was no immediate comment from state health officials, who 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. Police were monitoring her movements but couldn't detain her without a court order signed by a judge.
The end of the 21-day period would be Nov. 10.
Hickox, accompanied by her boyfriend, Ted Wilbur, earlier met with the media late Wednesday in the driveway of her home in Fort Kent, and said she will not observe the quarantine directive. The nurse, who returned from Sierra Leone last week after working with Doctors Without Borders, said that she had made no progress in her attempts to negotiate an end to her quarantine with state officials.
If a judge grants the state request, then Hickox will appeal the decision on constitutional grounds, necessitating a hearing, Hickox attorney Norman Siegel said....

My wife is a professor of nursing and teaches community health. She said the Board of Nursing should immediately pull Hickox license regardless whether or not she is infected. Her boyfriend is a dolt as Ebola can also be sexually transferred. It would serve them right if they both contred Ebola, but the number of people they could have infected would make Typhoid Mary look like an amateur.
Isn’t Greta a Scientologist? Well, there you are.
Is it a sin to secretly wish she comes down with Ebola?
I'm beginning to believe this is a fabricated media publicity hoax. I hope this idiot never works again as a nurse anywhere. What about the civil rights of the public?
Any sane medical practice will never hire her again if she is able to keep her license.
That woman is a selfish fool. If she comes down with Ebola she will become the most hated woman in America.
Lol, same thing came to my mind.
She’s hunting for the pot of gold at the end of the bike ride...And she’ll likely get it...
>> Would be a shame if there were a hunting accident.
“Shoot, shovel, and shut up.”
Governor backs down..........

This woman wrote an article in which she said she was in a somewhat risky category - and she did not mention what precautions she took in Africa. She said she gave meds to a seizing, dying girls. Was she completely covered? Why is the media ignoring her own screed? Maybe she lied and had no contact? She can’t have it both ways. As it is, she is like the muslims who behave oddly on planes then sue. She will make it harder to stop the virus.
One law for everybody. Jail for her and her attorneys.
I think this woman is an arrogant fool. OTOH, if she is outside and with her boyfriend on a bike ride, I see no reason why this is a problem. Quarantine is meant to keep people with infection or possible infections away from other vulnerable people, i.e. the general public.
Is she keeping a distance from those she sees on her bike ride? An inquiring mind wants to know.
In the early 1950s my nephew who was living with us at the time contracted polio. My brother and I were placed under quarantine. We did not call a lawyer.
she is a disgrace to her profession- She has NO medical proof that people WITH ebola who aren’t showing symptoms yet can’t still infect others- but she is playing Russian roulette with OTHER people’s lives- She is a disgrace to this nation- and her SELFISH attitudes are very typical of liberal ideology running amok today! She should be immediately arrested- and IF anyone else comes down with ebola as a result of her selfish attitudes, she should be tried for first degree murder for INTENTIONALLY putting others at risk!
From here on out- every healthcare person travelling to infected countries should be mandated to sign a statement indicating that they fully agree to quarantine when they return- Hagel is demanding our military be quarantined, why is this disgraceful ‘nurse’
If this bitch ends up with Ebola- will she be charged with attempted murder for everyone she comes into contact, hopefully she will be one of the lucky ones and escape infection.
However she is doing great disservice to our society by defying this quarantine. She will encourage others to also defy, next one may actually be Ebola infected, then we all will be at risk.
Self centered stupid witch.
She will also probably demand that she get the best care that US hospitals are known to provide if she does develop the Ebola virus.
In the past when people defied quarantines- they were dealt with harshly by the local citizens..
Mayhap it is time to return to old ways.
what the H are the governor and health officials doing?
if she infects someone with her selfish recklessness- she should be tried for first degree murder for INTENTIONALLY putting other people at risk knowing they could die- Factories and businesses are SHUT DOWN when it is discovered that they INTENTIONSLLY knew soemthign could harm someone, and did nothing to correct the situation- yet here we have a selfish liberal hack INTENTIONALLY flaunting safety standards and our government sits idly by and lets it happen?
Vying for votes and power- never let a good crisis go to waste- even if you need to manufacture one.
What better way than to start an epidemic, although you will never see one admit same- unless someone is stupid enough to get caught on an open mike.
Where’s a hungry bear when you need him?
