Kaci Hickox, the Maine nurse who treated Ebola patients and is locked in a standoff with the governor over quarantine rules, has been temporarily ordered by a court to stay at least three feet away from other people and avoid public places.
Hickox, who has tested negative for Ebola and has no symptoms, has maintained that authorities in Maine violated her rights by demanding that she stay at home for 21 days. She took a defiant bike ride on Thursday morning, and Gov. Paul LePage said that she was testing his patience.
The court order, issued late Thursday, leaves room for Hickox to go outside but instructs her to stay away from public transit and workplaces, and not to leave the town of Fort Kent, where she has mostly been holed up in a house, without consulting with public health authorities.
The order applies “until further order of this court” on Friday. The order said that Hickox’s lawyers had agreed that she would follow the instructions until the court weighs in again....

ANd if she doesn’t comply, then what?................they gonna use harsh words?
Make her sit in the comfy chair...
Some self-centered jerk who's been exposed to Ebola dies of something else, maybe flu or something. Causes a panic because nobody believes the feds anymore.
What is this woman thinking?
Maybe she needs her RN license revoked for awhile.
Did she get paid for her ebola care in Ebola Land?
If so how much?
My wife an RN is hearing scuttlebutt talk of very high pay for an RN or MD to take a 4 week tour in Ebola land.
> Maybe she needs her RN license revoked for awhile.
AFAIK, she doesn’t have an RN. She’s a trainee.
Is her BF staying three feet away from her? She’s living in his house as I understand things.
I wonder if he’s keeping his distance, if you get my meaning. Or if she wants a hug and goes ballistic if he backs away????
Doctors without Borders should remove this disgrace from it’s membership
One look at those eyes should be enough incentive to back away...
Should have made it ten feet and issued calibrated poles to townspeople.
LOL.... Yep, this girl is not my cup of tea either.
I bet she’s one of these “Well, if I have Ebola, you should get it too!” domineering witches
My understanding is that she is an RN, received her degree for Univ of Texas at Arlington. She’s also a recent “graduate” from a CDC program, and is now an EIS officer, which is basically a statistician.
Nothing but herself...and fully absorbed with her narcissism.
In that case, that takes sharing to a whole other level, doesn’t it?
But seriously, in such a case, she is putting another person at risk, in spite of their trying to quarantine her.
Here it is:
“I’m a good person for all I did in Africa, so the rules don’t apply to me.”
