And you continue, then, to ignore everything linked that shows there was cause for concern dye to them NOT knowing everything there is about Ebola. How it can be spread sexually, how it doesn’t present fever in some, etc. And yes, it is hindsight.

Even where there is no fever, there are other symptoms. Ebola cannot be spread prior to the onset of those symptoms. You've shown nothing to disprove that.

The fact that it can be spread sexually is irrelevant to the quarantine question. Quarantines exist to protect the public from highly contagious diseases. Assuming someone is not out there having sex with everyone in sight, there is no reason to quarantine someone because they have a disease (or have been exposed to a disease) that can be spread sexually.

And no, it's not hindsight. I was saying the same thing AT THE TIME. My position is not a hindsight position, it's the position I've taken throughout. Just because the facts have borne my position out, doesn't make it a hindsight position.

So, would you have been defending her still if she did indeed have and spread Ebola? Answer the question.

That's a complete non-sequitor. She did not have it and, more importantly, she did not exhibit any symptoms of it (I say more importantly because, again, it can be spread only when symptoms appear).

So, the question you keep demanding me to answer is a completely meaningless hypothetical. But, fine - if she had developed symptoms and had continued to go into public (the only way she would have spread the disease), then of course I would not defend her. But, that didn't happen. So, again, irrelevant.

“. Ebola cannot be spread prior to the onset of those symptoms. “

They don’t know that for 100% certain.
And you’ve shown nothing to prove it is 100% so.

“The fact that it can be spread sexually is irrelevant to the quarantine question.”

No, it isn’t.
It can be spread FIVE MONTHS after being “cleared”.
Or 155 days, or beyond the 90 days recommended by the CDC.

“And no, it’s not hindsight. “
Yes, it is.
Keep trying to claim otherwise.

“That’s a complete non-sequitor.”

You have NO idea what a non-sequitor is.

IF she had indeed had ebola and indeed spread it, what would you be saying now?
I asked you THAT exact wording in post 136 which you failed to answer.
