Ebola: The tale of two networks

So I'm watching CNN a few minutes ago reporting on President Obola's attempt to tell free states(Two Governor's heavy blue) to stop the quarantine of healthcare workers from Ebola stricken countries.
CNN anchor pushing Obola's talking points and bringing in quotes from the far left CDC docs who are also riding the cock of Obola.
Then there is Fox News. One Republican operative and two Dem. pollsters. They demonstrate that the governors are being leaders and are trying to protect their people with quarantine which should be common sense. No leadership from the top.
It simply fricking amazing that the POTUS doesn't want to protect America.
Isn't that his number one fricking job?
Welcome to November 2014 bitches

What's the network of choice for your brand of idiocy, ATL?

Hilarious that now the republicans are happy to detain citizens against their will.
So goes freedom right?

That argument is a red herring, ATL. Officials need to make wise decisions in order to ensure that the number of Ebola cases in America remain at a minimum.
In case you haven't noticed, healthcare workers have contracted all but one of the cases that have been treated here. But by all means, let's let them come home and take the subway to go bowling.
Oh, and btw, the last time I checked the Gov of NY was a Dem, and the Gov of NJ was a RINO.

I always thought the hospital in Dallas would get sued if they had detained Thomas Duncan and he ended up not having Ebola. Damned if you do and if you don't

You misspelled Tiger.

It's the people's republic of NY and NJ that are detaining citizens dumb arse. Blue states no?

NJ nurse might have been exposed to Ebola, so even though the tests are negative and she's not symptomatic, she gets to enjoy a 21-day quarantine.
But I don't hear anything about a quarantine for, let's say, all healthcare workers currently treating NY doctor, or who were formerly treating the TX nurses (who would still be in the 21-day exposure window).
It's a protocol built around the unstated assumption that PPE screw-ups can only happen in Africa. Which was proven false literally weeks ago.

If you actually have Ebola and are contagious, then you can be forcibly held.
Other than having Kreskin, Carnac, or someone from the psychic network doing facility triage, it's going to take up to 48hrs to positively id the symptoms as d/t Ebola.

fever, vomiting, diarrhea are symptoms, and it seems like they can get preliminary results in less than 12 hours.
