Then ACCORDING TO THE CDC, he was NOT CONTAGIOUS!
Did the Dr exercise good judgement, no. However, we don't know the details yet. So I would stop jumping to conclusions just yet.

Remember, ebola is extremely hard to transmit.
it is extremely hard to transmit outside of a healthcare setting or west african living conditions. None of Duncan's relatives that slept on the same couch caught it.

Or does the CDC non-quarantine policy for Ebola-country travelers suck?
The policy is fine if ppl especially healthcare workers who know better would exercise just a little common sense. However there is no way to legislate or regulate common fricking sense. There is an average of 75 passengers from ebola countries a day coming into JFK alone. What are you going to do put them on a bus and ship em to a KFC (south park reference) for 21 days? That is completely unneccessary and unamerican. Put a cop outside their residence or hotel, we don't have the manpower for that.

quote:"You are going to do" exactly what has been done, albeit belatedly, with the THP healthcare workers. "You are going to do" exactly what was done with the NBC news crew -- Perhaps you remember all the shock of Dr. Nancy Snyderman going out for soup? Quarantine them.

It is very simple. Send the folks into self-quarantine for three weeks. If they break it, enforce the quarantine then follow it with a one to six month jail term.
