But is she anymore risky than the nurses and doctors treating the doctor in NYC? I would bet that some of them are NJ residents who may be travelling back and forth to NJ on a daily basis. Why hasn’t Christie demanded that they be quarantined?

Even the majority of liberals I know consider her a selfish arrogant grandstanding jackass. Has she been on with Jon Stewart, sharing some snark, yet?

Get some books, wear your pajamas and sip hot cocoa for a couple weeks, asshead.

This media-freak whiner is a typical LIB asshat. She should be exiled for the good of the country. We have too many asshats here as it is. Her “boyfriend” must be a fool with low self-esteem and a need to pamper a high-maintenance LIB moonbat.

This is the the Kind I suffered during grad school .... Self serving, all-knowing, sanctimonious liberal hags .... They are abundant in the health care professions.... Believe me — if it isn’t “evidence- based” we don’t believe it ....

There is evidence, and there is also old fashioned common sense .... Something that our lib schools are drilling out of students year after year in our so called institutions of higher learning.

“...Kaci Hickox grew up in Texas and worked for the C.D.C. in Las Vegas until recently, when she moved to Fort Kent, Maine, her mother said. She has worked in several African countries with Doctors Without Borders.

In the essay, Ms. Hickox described her last night at an Ebola management center in Sierra Leone, when she gave crushed Tylenol and anti-seizure medicine to a dying 10-year-old girl as her body jolted in bed. “It was the hardest night of my life,” she wrote....”

She went there from the CDC, her employer, on a FACT FINDING MISSION.......not sure she even aided Ebola patients.

I suspect she may have been chosen for this quarantine malcontent mission specifically because she was never at any risk of exposure to ebola over there.

The plan was for politicians on the right to express that "panic" that they keep telling us we're all having, while she calmly and cooly explains to us why the Obama Administration is correct in their strategy of doing nothing. Then, when she's healthy and chatting on Oprah or the Daily Show about the horrible mistreatment she received from those on the right, we'd all have egg on our faces about our irrational fears.

They miscalculated about a number of things though. First of all, nobody's panicking about her, just exhibiting common sense about disease containment. Secondly, even many liberals understand that you don't run around public places after you've been exposed to a deadly disease. Third, they didn't properly vet her likeability, which is hovering somewhere near zero. She's radiates asshole waves like a supernova.

If she was actively treating ebola patients in Africa she would be in a higher risk category according to CDC guidelines. From what I've read at CDC, US healthcare workers who treat ebola patients don't have many restrictions unless there is breach at their facility.

Our behind the scene Ebola czar, doing his job. This is so obvious, the passive-aggressive president once again, swims upstream against the American people.

Yes

“Why hasn’t Christie demanded that they be quarantined?”

good question

The rule should be: Quarantines for non level 4 facilities
IMO

This woman is a paid employee who is not in any way suffering from a few inconveniences that are temporary and in place to protect others than just herself. I see her attitude of specialness as typical of a good many federal workers now attached to the royal regime that has taken over the US government. This Kaci is especially obnoxious and any Republican who bends to accommodate her in any way deserves high criticism.

I would wager a large of sum of money she already has her book or speaking tour in the works.
She is doing this to cash in.

I have no doubt that was part of her plan, but it's a colossal fail. Even most liberals think she's an arrogant selfish ass.

(title):" Kaci Hickox, Self-Absorbed Hero "

Some may regard her as 'hero', including in her own mind
But to me ,she is "Typhoid Mary", Narcissist extrodinaire
since she puts herself before her concern for others.
She chose to go to Africa to help build her resumee, but gives no consideration to the community where she is staying as a visitor .
She put her wants before the communities need to be free from risk of disease, and is playing political football on behalf of her employer and the administration .
She is the Sandra Fluke of Ebola , and an attention whore.

What if she becomes symptomatic after she's had contact with others and passes it on to them? Even if nobody dies from it, she'll be beggared by the multiple lawsuits.

Her "it's all about ME" attitude may come back to bite her.

"But the insults delivered to a concerned nation by heroic nurse Kaci Hickox are particularly hard to absorb, because the proper reaction of revulsion does not mix well with the sentiments we would like to be sending her way."

Speak for yourself, Mark.

I learned a long time ago that a person's personality is revealed by their actions after the pious deed they use hide behind.

A month taking notes in Africa does not buy enough credit to cavalierly risk genocide on America, just because staying away from people for a few weeks is a drag.


Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your......

(Since all records of obama's past were lost in a tragic boating accident and fire, no one can be certain that the guy in the red circle isn't him...)

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

Yup.

Kaka, you ignorant slut.

Regieme plant.

Yup, it’s intentional.

Two more ebola bound intentionals wandering the neighborhood, here in Cottonwood Heights, Utah. Screw Manhattan, Obola’s infesting any and all of America with this vermin.

Level 4 biopathogens, in your neighborhood.

This is intentional.
