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.

It is a problem because if they stop anywhere, and she sneezes on something, wipes gher mouth then touches something- leaves her sweat on a bench sopmehwere or somehow gets bodily fluids on spots where other people come along, those people then are at risk of contracting ebola- ebola from what I understand can live for quite sometime outside of the body and be a potential risk to others
As horrible as it sounds, REDACTED.
Would it be irony if the boyfriend gets Obola and dies, or just...too bad...
Make an example out of her, or else we will see this all the time.
Que Donald Sutherland pic.
She definitely needs to be tasered.
At the very least a judge should lock her and her boyfriend up in a jail for a year for placing people in danger.
