Well established law provides for involuntary quarantine when dealing with a potential pandemic. Civil Rights don’t apply.

Which may be one reason Obola wants obola to spread in the US...

“It’s always difficult investigating deaths, because you can’t talk to the person to get a better idea of what they were doing,” says Hickox."

How profound...

that article shows how much a danger she could be if infected, hear bleeding heart will leave lots of body fluids...

I hope her attorney jumps on this files suit then she turns up positive, passes it to her attorney..what a couple of selfish idiots.

Sorry bitch, but considering a doctor had just been galavanting all over the place and possibly exposing untold numbers of people because he decided he was just fine and didn’t feel the need to stay out of public and away from people, I can’t say I blame them one bit. I would have locked your ass up too and any one else that has been in known contact with ebola.

“The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.”

Shakespeare didn't say this. One of Shakespeare's characters, Jack Cade, said it. And Shakespeare presented him as an ignorant lout who wanted to do away with anybody who had the slightest pretense to learning.

I think it will limit more government power, and for me, that's almost always a good thing.

I agree, but I think we're in a minority. I'm not comfortable with quarantining people and restricting their movements simply because a probability exists that they might be infected, predicated on mass public hysteria. The proper thing, I believe, would have been to restrict entry into the country by such people, not play fast-and-loose with their rights once they've been allowed it.

***Conspiracy thoughts****

Hell maybe it was a setup for just this sort of thing. She was over there but not ever really working with anyone that had ebola, came back after a few weeks and set this all into motion.

**** / conspiracy thoughts****

lol

I wouldn’t wish Ebola on anyone, but it would seem like some form of ironic justice if she became symptomatic tomorrow, and tested positive.

I believe her lawyer wouldn’t be returning her calls.... LOL

The CDC is using tax dollars to study pedestrian traffic accidents? Is that a disease? LOL!!!!

Is she from Las Vegas? Do not let her return until a 42 day quarantine period is up. She could have an uncontrolable urge to contaminate the casinos.

The governor of Nevada needs to act on this now and make it 42 days not 21.

She wants to howl? Ruin her. Destroy her personally, financially, professionally, and make an equally big show of PROTECTING those who shut up and play nice. We need to make an example of her to ensure others behave.

Did you mean “Typhoid Mary “?

My naming her “Ebola Mary” was in reference to the possibility of her spreading Ebola around, similar to Typhoid Mary spread it. Of course, Typhoid Mary, for some reason, was only a carrier and spreader of the disease, and never, as far I remember the history, came down with it herself.
