The Obama administration is considering imposing a forced quarantine on healthcare workers who return to the United States from the Ebola hot zone of West Africa, after a New York doctor who treated patients there tested positive for the virus on Thursday.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention spokesman Tom Skinner told Reuters on Friday that a mandatory quarantine is one possible plan under discussion by officials from across the administration.
'There are a number of options being discussed pertaining to the monitoring and mobility of healthcare workers who are returning to the United States from affected countries,' Skinner said.

Tell me when we get to F-U
He’s “considering” it.
Isn’t that what he always does? Maybe in a few years he’ll instruct one of his czars to come to a decision, if the wind blows that way.
Well!
Considering.......hrmm.
Why not consider flight restrictions and closing the damn borders!
NO PROFILING ALLOWED!!!
The faculty lounge folks really are ten fries short of a happy meal. Geeez! Day late and a dollar short doesn’t begin to describe them.
I know a lot of true Americans who wish they could quarantine the Obama “administration”.
Here he is considering.........
But only the American healthcare workers, ‘cause they’re likely to be white.
The local blacks from west Africa can come straight in after hand-washing the bodies of their relatives who died of ebola.
It’s a color thing.
He’s got Chris Christie and chomp on his back, now, with their collective mob know how. Screw Texas. It’s hit the tri state now
They can’t care less about flyover, but now it’s about them and tgeir idiocracies where doctors can’t be trusted

Quarantining medical providers and others who have worked with Ebola patiens IS profiling, and IS quarantining the people most likely to actually have the virus. Based on how it is transmitted, Ebola is known as a “caregivers disease” — it is far more likely to spread to those who are caregivers to patients than to the general population.

***10,000 ebola cases recorded, but paperwork not being done according to above article means numbers may not be right.
It looks like Doctors Without Borders is suspending care in some of their clinics in Africa to work on ebola research or vaccines...but vaccines not until 2015.
Saw article that MALI next to Guiani is now affected.
They should quarantine Moochie.
She has done enough damage to the nation.
Why would he do that? It’s not like you can get it from someone on the bus or something so this is just violating their rights...
“Ebola is known as a caregivers disease “
What I have read lately indicates that family members in Africa end up being the care giver, since there is a shortage of doctors and facilities.
He is a good fortune teller.
