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.

Anybody save the page?
The Governor Christie puts on his best “I’ve Had It Up to Here-Face” and says to Obama; Sorry Mr. President, but we can’t all be limp noodles like you on matters of life and death. Some of us actually enjoy reviewing the details then making decisions in a timely manner. Maybe you should try it sometimes.......Sir.”
Anyone in Illinois who had direct contact with a person infected with the Ebola virus while in three African countries will be required to undergo a mandatory 21-day quarantine, according to an order signed by Gov. Pat Quinn.
The order, which was signed Friday, affects “high-risk” individuals who have come in contact with patients in Liberia, Guinea or Sierra Leone, the three nations hardest hit by the disease.
The mandatory order also includes medical personnel who have treated people infected with the Ebola virus, officials said.”
I do not have a problem with the quarantine being in their own homes, sign on the door, etc. If they are asymptomatic.
I wouldn’t put asymptomatic people into hospitals.

Kaci will have you know that she is a Certified Registered Nurse, fully educated, trainned, licensed and credentialed! Kaci does NOT want any TSA type individual in their ill-fitting clothing, ‘barking orders’ at her, or giving her the evil eye; only the Lead Surgeon or Floor Nurse get to do that.
There are election consequences for both Christie and Cuomo, if they don’t enforce this quarantine. Obama has nothing to lose, since he doesn’t have any election to worry about in his future, so he has no problem showing the world how little he really cares about the safety of the American people.

Melody is the editing expert Ive gone to for the past ten years. She has helped me write advocacy documents on global public health issues and tell my personal stories about working with Doctors Without Borders in Nigeria, Sudan and Uganda. When I review her comments and edits, I am always amazed at how she pulls my disorganized thoughts together and helps me paint a clear and poignant picture. She is also a joy to work with, keen to understand the topic at hand, available for discussion during the editing process, and dependable in meeting deadlines and expectations. I am thankful for having met Melody and benefited from her editing skills over the years.

“————is this really an issue for which we need a lawsuit to be filed????”
ANYTHING in the USA today is an issue for filing a lawsuit. What a pathetic country we have become.

The nurse quarantined in New Jersey is an employee for the Centers for Disease Control and a registered Democrat with a history of left-wing advocacy, and did not disclose her ties to the CDC in the anti-quarantine column she wrote for the Dallas Morning News. The CDC opposes any and all quarantines because Obama told them to, and the nurse is simply a CDC/Obama mouthpiece.
