The Obama administration has been pushing the governors of New York and New Jersey to reverse their decision ordering all medical workers returning from West Africa who had contact with Ebola patients to be quarantined, an administration official said.
But on Sunday both governors, Andrew M. Cuomo of New York and Chris Christie of New Jersey, stood by their decision saying that the federal guidelines did not go far enough.
At the same time, the first person to be forced into isolation under the new protocols, Kaci Hickox, a nurse returning from Sierra Leone, planned to mount a legal challenge to the quarantine order. Despite having no symptoms, she has been kept under quarantine at a hospital in New Jersey. On Sunday, she spoke to CNN about the way she has been treated, describing it as “inhumane.”

Leftists see things only in terms of ‘discrimination’ - bad - and nondiscrimination - good. Discriminating against people who have visited predominantly black countries is, in their eyes, bad. Unfortunately for liberals, Ebola is the shoal upon which their discrimination/nondiscrimination buffoonery will wreck and be destroyed. Even dumbed down LIV can figure out the benefit of quarantining people who have visited Ebola hotbeds.
“Dr. Seema Yasmin, a Dallas Morning News staff writer, worked with Hickox as a disease detective with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. With Yasmin’s help, Hickox wrote this first-person piece exclusively for the News.)”
Yasmin’s teaching and reporting duties have recently expanded to include educating a national and worldwide audience during news coverage of Ebola in Dallas. She has provided expert commentary during interviews with CNN, MSNBC and others, where she has discussed the spread of the disease and how the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention manages such outbreaks.
Yasmin served as a disease detective in the Epidemic Intelligence Service at the CDC in Atlanta. She earned her medical degree from the University of Cambridge and has worked in Botswana and Kenya as well as England.
Her interest in public health and medicine began before she embarked on her undergraduate degree. She worked as a volunteer for an HIV organization focused on the needs of teenagers affected with the disease.
Yes.
I refuse to take the side of any of Cuomo, Christie, or the Obola administration.
This just proves to me that this administration truly is Bat Sh** Crazy! Yes I said it! I will be casting my vote against this administration....period!
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Isnt it adorable when progressive loons don’t want to follow the rules. Hey sorry lady, I Dont want to be exposed to your treats all over town..if she wants, the Govt can quarantine her at MSNBC studios, therefore its a win/win
Your comment nailed it! Excellent.
You can take the side of the citizens of New York, New Jersey and The United States of America.
I recalled my last night at the Ebola management center in Sierra Leone. I was called in at midnight because a 10-year-old girl was having seizures. I coaxed crushed tablets of Tylenol and an anti-seizure medicine into her mouth as her body jolted in the bed.
It was the hardest night of my life. I watched a young girl die in a tent, away from her family.
OMG! She was directly, intimately, and by hand treating a highly infectious patient in the last moments of that patient's life. If there was ever a health care worker who was exposed to Ebola at its most virulent and infectious, she was it. No wonder she's in quarantine, and THANK GOD SHE IS, even if she was somewhat inconvenienced. She seems to think being an Ebola nurse somehow entitles her to put this whole country at risk. What an incredibly reckless fool.
If there is a real outbreak, we’ll never be able to stop it with these fools in charge
Come on, Obama, sue NY and NJ. I dare ya. I double dog dare ya!
I wonder? If she does develop Ebola and passes it to another person, can she be sued for damages?
I know if I contracted it and could prove that she was the source - I would sure try to sue her and the CDC.
The CDC mouthpiece has deleted her LinkedIn page.
Geez, if I didn't know any better, I'd swear Obama WANTS Ebola to spread.
Good thing I know better!
You misspelled Satanic.
Hope that helps.
arrogance shows itself she knew what was happening and why another Sandra fluke
....Ms. Hickox’s mother said she had sent her daughter a text message asking if she thought she would be detained when she returned home: “She texted back: LOL that’s not going to happen.”......

Foolishness has nothing to do with it. Satanic malevolence does.
