Nurse Kaci Hickox — who remains symptom-free after spending three days in a New Jersey isolation tent after flying home from Ebola-stricken West Africa — remains under quarantine at home in Maine, but for only another day, she tells TODAY's Matt Lauer.
“I don’t plan on sticking to the guidelines. I remain appalled by these home quarantine policies that have been forced upon me, even though I am in perfectly good health and feeling strong and have been this entire time completely symptom free,” said Hickox, who wouldn’t emerge from Maine’s 21-day voluntary quarantine until Nov. 10.
“I truly believe this policy is not scientifically nor constitutionally just, and so I’m not going to sit around and be bullied around by politicians and be forced to stay in my home when I am not a risk to the American public.”
Hickox, who pointed out that top health officials believe a quarantine is unnecessary unless someone develops symptoms, also said:
•She will pursue legal action if Maine forces her into continued isolation: “If the restrictions placed on me by the state of Maine are not lifted by Thursday morning, I will go to court to fight for my freedom.”(continued)

Ebola originated in Africa. Therefore, anyone who doesn’t want to get Ebola is a racist.
I find it appalling that so many FReepers can’t follow a simple logical argument.
Fight Ebolaphobia!
If someone paid me to stay at home for 21 days I would be delighted. Seems like an attention-whore. It’s a matter of record that her attorney Norm Siegal will take on any case that gives him an opportunity to get in front of cameras. He claims to be a civil rights expert, but generally will just take the dumbest position possible.
OK Kaci, since you don’t like the quarantine, here’s an idea, move into the White House, give Sasha and Malia big hugs and kisses..let’s see what happens..or better yet, just release her into the community, let the citizens of Maine deal with her, if you all know what I mean
The wench should phone the nurse from Texas who’s going to self-quarantine herself.
The Texas nurse is acting in the public’s interest and not making a political point.

That's the point, it's not her call. They should just pull her license.
Or does she think they can't do that either.
I’d call her and those who agree with her grossly ignorant and selfish. Exactly where will she be and who will be near her when she becomes symptomatic? Would you let her move in with you and your family?
I suppose if she has active Ebola, she would also think that she can go out amongst the masses and she will sue to do so, because she knows better. After all, why should she be in isolation? That would be unfair.
Why is it this skank reminds me of Sandra Fluke?
Not a problem. If she breaks quarantine, then shoot her.
It would be really, really ironic if she came down with ebola. Just sayin.......

How would you like her to be YOUR nurse if you were in the hospital- caring and unselfish person that she is. Yeah, right!!
As was pointed out on another thread, they quarantine animals to keep our stock healthy and not bring disease from another country but people from Ebola stricken countries? Not so much. They can walk around spreading it until they have symptoms. So, animals are more important than people? Really?
What an incredibly arrogant person.
Her first temperature reading when she arrived in country from Africa was 101. She is now claiming it was over her anger at being detained.
Selfish jackass.
42 days covers 98%
When it comes to as deadly an infection as 0bola and a country of 330,000,000 peeps, 98% isn't NEARLY enough certainty.
Typical LIB/DIM loser. I hope she has her nursing license yanked for being such a selfish a**.
I thought that was Chelsea at first?
I have to wonder about the man that she is staying with in that house. There is no way I could stand being around that beotch.
