Commissioners called the meeting consider a declaration that would have expanded County Judge Clay Jenkins’ power to control the movement of any person in a designated emergency area.

Doesn’t the Judge need a bit of confinement himself after contact with Duncan’s family?

(title) :"voluntary’ containment orders for workers exposed to Ebola; no emergency,"

Yeah , how did that work out for Dr. Nancey Sniderman ?

[JPJones]

“But if they don’t sign, county leaders will issue court orders restricting their movement. “

But flights from Liberia will continue unabated.

"Voluntary orders" is an oxymoron. Either it's voluntary, or not.

Wonder if any of the 75 will force the issue. I would, just to spite Clay Jenkins.

I wouldn’t voluntarily quarantine unless flights from ebola land are terminated.

The health care workers hadn’t been notified of the “agreements” prior to Thursday’s meeting. Asked if he had a sense how they would respond, Rawlings said, “I don’t care.”

The local nurses are already pissed off. This will go over very poorly I suspect.

[Texas Yellow Rose]

Forget this voluntary crap. Make it mandatory. Put them in guarded isolated quarters. Voluntary doesn’t get us anywhere but OHIO!

Vinson’s mother flew down to Dallas to be with her but now that they’ve moved Vinson to Atlanta, her mother is being asked to self quarantine herself in Dallas. A lot of good that did to potentially infect another plane full of people and be stuck. Where is she? In a hotel room? She’d have to go out to get food and housekeeping will have to come in to give fresh linens and take out the trash. Who’s paying for the room? If she gets sick, then what?
