Kaci Hickox, the nurse who was quarantined at a New Jersey hospital despite exhibiting no Ebola symptoms after arriving from West Africa, won't follow the quarantine imposed by Maine officials, her attorney said tonight.
"Going forward she does not intend to abide by the quarantine imposed by Maine officials because she is not a risk to others," her attorney Steven Hyman said. "She is asymptomatic and under all the protocols cannot be deemed a medical risk of being contagious to anyone."

Maine requires that health care workers such as Hickox who return to the state from West Africa will remain under a 21-day home quarantine, with their condition actively monitored, Gov. Paul R. LePage said in a statement.
"We will help make sure the health care worker has everything to make this time as comfortable as possible," he said.
Hickox left University Hospital in Newark Monday afternoon and was taken to Maine,

You’ve read my mind; lawyers could make a killing off of the government in terms of monetary settlements.
Arrest her.
I bet you anything that socially and otherwise, she will be shunned by the wider community. Even if she doesn’t have it, she will be known nationally as the world’s biggest whiner.
She’s turning into an ad for a travel ban that prevents travel in BOTH directions.
I read somewhere she’s from Texas
I just hope that somewhere, somehow she gets what she deserves, so that I can say Karma is a bite and she’s a Bit#h.
Nope she is supposed to be a mainer. Although the net has been scrubbed.
Have her move into MSNBC studios..or the White House..let her give Sasha and Malia a big hug and kiss
What maker her think she is so stinking special???
One of the biggest struggles in Africa has been to convince many of the African people of the importance of isolation and quarantine, although it seems mysterious and unnecessary to the uneducated and superstitious natives.
I wonder if this woman has given a thought to the effect her story and rebellion is having back in Africa where it must be getting wide coverage.
“So, if anyone contracts Ebola from this self-serving idiot, do they have a legal right to bring suit against HER, the State of Maine (for failing to enforce their rules), and Obama for forcing NJ to release her?!?!”
Almost certainly against her, and lawyers on O’Reilly said yes too about the Fed Gov, which would means yes for Maine too.
What maker her think she is so stinking special???

Leftist entitled brain. Cracks me up how leftists moan about “community” all the time unless of course it inconveniences them.
She may have gone to school, medical school, however in Texas.
Maine State Government said they’d enforce the quarantine, I hope they do! Fully!
Vermont Resident Enters Voluntary Quarantine
A Vermonter who spent several weeks traveling in Ebola-stricken West Africa is now back in the state, and under monitoring by the Vermont Department of Health, Gov. Peter Shumlin, D-Vt., announced Tuesday.
The man is in a secure and secluded location provided by the state, Shumlin told reporters, and is being visited by state medical experts at least twice a day. Those health department staff members are looking for possible symptoms of Ebola. No such symptoms have been detected and the man poses no threat to public health or safety, Shumlin said.
Whoever this guy is in Vermont going through voluntary quarantine, personally I admire him for not causing waves.
This Hickox must be funded. What a sad sack, shameful.
She should be incarcerated. If somehow she is carrying it and get someone sick, she should be charged as if she passed HIV to someone.
I would get arrested if I said what I’m thinking right now.
Her concern for Ebola-stricken Africans seems to be the limit of her concern or compassion for others.
BO, you are once again a disgrace for soliciting female voters in your management of the Kaci Hickox talking points, and using identity politics to salvage your dwindling base, at the risk of further mishandling the threatening Ebola pandemic and it’s risk to Americans.
You might have Kaci’s lawyers coax her into demanding she be supplied with birth control (as you did for different reasons in your last election run appeal to women), to prevent her further disparagement as an asymptomatic EVD carrier.
