if the do gooders, the likes of "doctors without borders(or common sense)" want to travel the world and be exposed, God love them....
but getting off the plane bringing it here?....suffer the consequences which is simply to stay away from others....
but even that request fell on deaf ears...
yes, ebola was overblown....but people did get exposed here by those coming from Africa and we needed to take some kind of action....good for Christie.
In Biblical times I would ask did they allow Lepers to live among others in society,or were they shunned and aside from the rest...
god recognizes their affliction and does not speak against the separation to prevent the spread to others which is by simple contact...
Used wrongly it is a Violation, she was in a contagious area and could have it and no symptoms yet...
I never understood why all these people who were exposed to Ebola always felt the need to go on vacation and mingle among large crowds.
Exactly.
Didn’t bother me at all. In the 1800s, towns would quarantine people and if they refused, they could and would be shot. To keep from endangering and infecting whole communities. No sympathy for this wretched “it’s all about me” whiney lib nurse.
Won’t stop some from trying to make it an issue.
Christie quarantined her immediately upon her arrival back in the US. She never refused to take the necessary precautions - she objected to the quarantine as an unnecessary step (and one that was not imposed or suggested by any medical experts anywhere).
She doesn't give crap about anyone.
I went back and reviewed her "stuff". Dhe was writing reports....really stupid reports. I try and find one that made me laugh. It was about traffic and disease. Crazy
Nope...Christie and Cuomo
Ebola is not leprosy, and Ebola is not contagious until someone shows symptoms. There’s a reason that no respectable medical group suggests quarantining unsymptomatic people who have been in Ebola-affected regions, or even who have treated Ebola patients. Christie was going against the scientific recommendations, purely to score political points based on people’s fear.
Not a Christy fan, but the quarantine was the proper thing to do. She made some poor choices and put the rest of us at risk; she needed to be isolated until the risk had passed.
I think it’s time for her to get over it. What did she loose, the ability to catch up with her DVR and a few days pay?
Wrong. Quarantines are necessary and important in times of dangerous disease.
No one knew a few years ago and little more is known now, about how ebola is vectored.
There have been threads in the past week about recurrence of ebola in a "cured" patient (she is in critical condition showing full symptoms), fears of ebola in seminal fluid and evidence that ebola lingers in the vitreous of the eyeball.
[[One does not have the right to spread possible contagion.
Once upon a time, they quarantined immigrants due to disease.]]
EXACTLY!- Even today- we are now asked EVERY single time we go to a health clinic if we’ve been to an infected country or been in contact with anyone with bola- it’s because of people like this nurse, and the one in Maine that REFUSED to be quarantined that we STILL have the ebola scare all across this nation
The abject failure of many others does not besmirch the sensible action by Christie.
Maybe so; but looking at it from a different perspective, quarantine might very well someday be used as a tool to imprison political dissidents without due process.
The Maine governor also tried to quarantine her.
