her career in medicine will be over.

No way. She works for the CDC. She is likely just following their orders to break the state quarantines.

If she is a plant by the WH, doubts about her actually being over there would be acceptable. I don’t think they would chance her actually having been exposed and getting sick.

From a more enlightened time (my bold red emphasis below):

Sec. 24. CONTAGIOUS AND INFECTIOUS DISEASES – Every such local board of health shall guard against the introduction of contagious and infectious diseases by the exercise of proper and vigilant medical inspection and control of all persons and things arriving in the municipality from infected places, or which from any cause are liable to communicate contagion. It shall require the isolation of all persons and things infected with or exposed to such diseases, and provide suitable places for the treatment and care of sick persons who cannot otherwise be provided for. [Source: "The Laws of New York," as reported in The Brooklyn Daily Eagle newspaper on page 8 of the July 7, 1893 edition (Link)]

I noticed that there is a nurse who just returned from treating Ebola patients in Sierra Leone who voluntarily agreed to undergo 21-day quarantine at her home in Central Texas. She is being lauded for her action as reported in the Austin-American Statesman, October 30, 2014, page 1.

Another old article on the laws of New York on quarantine (my emphasis below):

Sec. 124. BOARDING VESSELS - …. All persons coming from or through any foreign port or place who may arrive at the port of New York, shall be liable to an examination by the health officer or his deputies, as regards their protection from small-pox. In case any person so arriving shall refuse to submit to such examination, or upon arrival such examination shall be found not sufficiently protected from small-pox, or refuse to be protected by vaccination, such person, and in case such person be a minor, then also the person having him or her under charge, shall be detained in quarantine until he or she shall have passed the incubation period from the date of the last possible exposure; and the expense of such detention shall be chargeable by the health officer upon the consignees or owners of the vessel having such person on board, and such expenses as may be incurred shall be a lien upon such vessel. [Source: "The Laws of New York" as reported in The Daily Brooklyn Eagle, July 21, 1909, page 10 (Link]
