'You can hug me, you can shake my hand - I won't give you Ebola' (Kaci Hickox)
The London Daily Mail ^ | October 30, 2014 | Martin Gould In Fort Kent, Maine and Louise Boyle

Posted on 10/29/2014 10:50:27 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

* Nurse Kaci Hickox left the home of her boyfriend in Fort Kent, Maine, on Wednesday night to speak with the press

* Residents of the small town are unimpressed that Hickox is trying to fight a 21-day quarantine imposed by the state

* State's health chief and governor vowed to enforce Maine state guidelines which ask for a voluntary three week quarantine

* Governor sent state police to her home but did not say whether she would be arrested if she tried to leave

* State may go to court to get an order to make it mandatory tomorrow

* Hickox told Today: 'I don't plan on sticking to the guidelines. I am not going to sit around and be bullied by politicians and forced to stay in my home when I am not a risk to the American public'

* Residents set up Facebook pages to attack her for being selfish, 'un-American' and unprofessional

* Obama shook hands with returning healthcare workers today at the White House and hit out at critics who were 'hiding under the covers'

Already pushing the boundaries of her state-imposed quarantine, Ebola nurse Kaci Hickox defiantly left the Maine home she was ordered to stay inside for three weeks on Wednesday night in order to speak with the press about her 'frustrating' situation.

Standing out front of her boyfriends house in Fort Kent about 7pm, as the police tasked with watching her looked on from across the street, Hickox told the waiting media contingent that she will continue to fight her quarantine orders, even if she is charged for breaking them.

'We have been in negotiations all day with the state of Maine and tried to resolve this amicably, but they are not allowing me to leave my house and interact with the public....

The arrogance of this woman is astounding. What’s more, by being a spoiled brat, she’s actually making it harder to address any over-reach or mistakes in the way Ebola is being handled by the local authorities.

You mean she will shake my hand and hug me but won’t let me French kiss her and stick my tongue deep down her throat? She’s no fun.

Krispy and Paul LePage who just happens to be governor of Maine. The commie Rats are scared of all Republicans at this point, (even the fat ones;), and they’ve got to get the smear machine running! ;)

I think part of what is going on is Obama is using her and opposition to quarantines of healthcare workers (HCW) as a way to show support for unionized HCW, who might not be happy with open borders to Ebola now.

Is her boyfriend willing to “make whoopie” with her if she’s really uncontaminated. Oh I know, just the other day they took a vow of celibacy, yeah, yeah, THAT’S the ticket....

1. Stay the **** away from me until you pass the incubation period.

2. After that - stay the **** away from me forever because I’m allergic to self-centered ****s.

Even that tent they had for her in New Jersey sure looked a lot better than any Army tent I ever lived in.

Yep. Larger than many apartments or years of temporary quarters I was stuck in. Heck, larger than any ICUs I have had the honor of sleeping in from either genetic or gravity induced injuries.

I wonder how many takers she will get on this one?

Sounds like a Georgetown Law student. Just bring your own condoms if you don't have an obolacare discount.

She may be part of the propaganda effort, but I think pretty soon, her boyfriend will want his privacy back. I would be funny if she got kicked out, then had to go back to the hospital. What about his needs? I suspect he is going to start spending more and more time ‘out of the neighborhood, ‘seeing other people’ because his home has been turned into a circus/ reality show, ala Big Brother.

No, thanks, Kaci Hickox. Don’t want to be around you.

You are doing a good job in making yourself into a drama fanatic.

I’m sitting here *trying* to be a nice person, and *trying* real hard not to hope she comes down with Ebola. Kinda hard.

I’m sure her neighbors feel the same. To the the community she’ll be a pariah and to the nation, ostracized one way or another and frankly put, her career in medicine will be over.

So she may as well get Ebola since much of her life is finished either way.

She has probably single-handedly now delivered the one of the biggest credibility blows that the CDC or the Health care profession could get. It's been reported that she said something to the effect that “the science behind this quarantine is wrong, and she won't do it.”

That's the message I'm sure the CDC and the health care profession wants to send out to the average American, I'm sure. As unlikely as what she says about quarantines may be, if true, then why is the CDC bothering with it? Why even take temperatures, ask about a person's recent whereabouts and contacts. Just ask the person how they feel. They won't lie to you .......will they?

As far as I'm concerned, she is a disgusting human being with no regard for anyone but herself. Besides being just plain nasty and combative, her personal predicament should not be a role model for future dealings with potential infectees.

I’ll bet USAMRIID in Ft. Detrick is now feeling silly buying and building that level 4 biosafety containment facility for their Ebola research. They should have simply consulted with Kaci.
