Maine governor says quarantine talks with nurse failed
Gannett is title and link only
It’s not so much the fear, but instead all the calls for “She’s different than us....string her up!”.
I don’t really care what her idealogy is, she has the same intrinsic rights as I.
I'll second that...
OK, I’m listening.
My understanding was that one will continue to test negative for Ebola until you start exhibiting symptoms.
Like the doctor Craig Spencer. He tested negative, negative, then positive. He’s the guy who went bowling. You test negative, but during that 21 day period, you can become positive.
I don’t understand the other way of thinking. Even doctors and nurses have slammed her.
People are quarantined or put into isolation for many diseases. I was isolated once until doctors could rule out an infectious disease. And I'm sure I'm not the only one here.
This nurse is making a big deal out of nothing. People are put into isolation or quarantine all the time. As a nurse, she knows that. She should want to be extra careful. Yet, all she does is whine, whine, whine like a spoiled brat: "I shouldn't have to do this. I shouldn't have to do that."
How much do you want to bet she bosses her own patients around, though. ;-) Just watch her in action. She has a bossy, know-it-all personality - the type of person who's used to giving orders, not taking them. ;-)
She is an attention whore.
She’s not infected and trying to gin up sympathy, for her lawsuit.
I hope she’s slapped down so hard her teeth fall out.

If it is a matter of life and death, stop allowing her to run the show. If it isn’t, the government needs to back off. There is no half way.
If she needs to be quarantined (don’t know if she does or not), tell her to go inside her home and that food/etc., will be brought to her. Failure to do so will result in arrest and medical quarantine. Assault of personnel will result in felony assault charges and possibly more, including an end to her career as a nurse and prison time. Make it clear.
If, from a medical standpoint she doesn’t have to be quarantined, leave her be. Do one or the other and stop goofing around.
There is no “maybe”. There is no “negotiate”. She needs it or she doesn’t.
As others suggested, she may be a setup to stir up passions for the elections. In that case, they would have had to make sure she won't get it during the drama i.e. she may have had already her last 20+ days in Africa away from Ebola patients, if she ever had any contacts at all beyond a staged photo op (like the one Frieden had). She is also a CDC 'intelligence' officer rather than a real nurse anyway, so she may have never dealt with Ebola patients directly, but just collecting data and writing reports for CDC.
Agree that she's a self-centered "B". But she's a potential menace vs. an actual one. One must ask oneself exactly what are the acceptable requirements for the "authorities" to isolate/quarantine/lock one up "for the common good".
I'd rather they impose personal responsibility penalties and give then 10 years if they infect someone else and kill them if those they infect die...
Most telling is her hair....... she fancies herself to be like Wasserman-Shultz.
Both are moonbat detritus
Good info.
I wonder just how quickly a person can go from “undetectable virus blood levels” to contagious? As quickly as 12 hours? 6?
Resistance to any particular disease varies greatly from individual to individual. Is it not likely that some individuals could be infected by a person with blood virus levels low enough that the carrier’s symptoms are minor or unnoticed?
Agreed, though I think a lot of the vitriol directed against her is driven (at least in part) by fear. The "she's different" angle doesn't help, of course, but I don't think it's the primary reason for the reaction.
I think your two statements are contradictory. If, as you appear to believe, the quarantine is not appropriate, then she has every right to be angry, and every right to fight against the quarantine. I don't think she's being a "self-centered "B"" for fighting against a quarantine that she believes (and I agree) is unnecessary and driven more by politics than actual medical necessity.
You do know that in the early stages of the disease false negatives on the blood test are common, don't you?
It takes time for the virus to build up to levels the test can reliably detect.
It takes time for the virus to build up to levels the test can reliably detect.
By the same logic, you do know that it takes time for the virus to build up to levels at which the virus can be transmitted to another person, don't you?
Thanks for the ping!
Everyone seems to be missing that little gem...she broke her promise. Interesting to note that the 'nudge Freepers' have raced to her defense.
How is a judge going to reverse that????
A petition is already being circulated requesting that her license be revoked ( if she in fact even has a license).
Maybe we now know why Doctors Without Borders rejected her when she first applied to go to work for them. It is people of her ilk who poison the well for organizations like Doctors Without Borders.
