A nurse from Central Texas has agreed to quarantine herself after working with Ebola patients in West Africa. The woman is not currently showing any signs of the disease, but her work is Sierra Leone places her at some risk according to CDC protocols, the governors office said in a release.
The woman was met by state health officials after flying into Austin-Bergstrom International Airport early Wednesday. Her name is being withheld for privacy reasons, the state said.
At the governors request, the nurse will be quarantined at her home and will be monitored twice daily by the Texas Department of State Health Services during the 21-day incubation period for Ebola.

The point is the screening test was 101 and she was coming from treating Ebola patients. Better to safe than sorry.
She still isn't out of the woods.
The Texas nurse is more responsible.
Please add me Windflier.
I don’t give a FIG for your reply... roflol
Try being a bit more serial.
When the leftist trolls claim that it is such a waste of time and talent to lock the young nurse away from her dancing pole.
Just point out what Sir Isaac Newton did with his time in home quarantine !
“Newton Unlocked Modern Age as Bubonic Plague Roiled England: Lewis Lapham

Newton Unlocked Modern Age as Plague Hit England: Audio
In 1664, when comets appeared in the English sky, many thought the end was near. As apocalyptic confirmation, then came the bubonic plague.
(To listen to the podcast, click here.)
It was devastating to London, ultimately killing one fifth of its inhabitants. The wealthy tried fleeing to the countryside, where locals greeted them with muskets and clubs. The city resonated with the tolling of bells and cries of Bring out your dead!
When the plague reached the University of Cambridge in 1665, everyone was sent home, including Isaac Newton, who retired to his mothers farm. There, the 23-year-old student came up with calculus and unlocked the future.
What looked at the time like the end of days turned out to be the dawn of the modern age.
I spoke with Edward Dolnick, author of The Clockwork Universe: Isaac Newton, the Royal Society and the Birth of the Modern World, on the following topics:
1. Fear and Trembling
2. The Royal Society
3. Microscopes and Telescopes
4. Isaac Newton
5. Decoding the World

Thanks for the ping.
Hopefully we will not get an argument out of this Texas gal. That is IF she is a Texas gal.
The nut in Maine should have been quarantined for 21 days under armed guard if she would not comply with a voluntary quarantine. New Jersey really dropped the ball by releasing her, and a dangerous precedent has been set. New Jersey should have told Typhoid/Obola Mary, “Fine, you can leave and sue when your 21 days are up”.
I could sense the “fig you’s” coming down the freeway with lights and sirens on...Even before I hit “post”...
hehehe
Done. You're on the Texas ping list!
I’m glad the nutty nurse shared her liberal activist self with NJ and Maine!
