What I don't get is why this woman would not want to quarantine herself? It's 21 fricking days. As a volunteer at a hospital for Katrina evacuees I got TB. I was under a medical quarantine for two weeks once. I was assured I wouldn't be able to pass my illness to anyone because I had no cough, fever, etc, but they wanted to be safe. It was no problem for me. Why the hell would I want to walk around even if there was a remote chance I could infect someone? I had to go to a state clinic every day for 1 1/2 years to have antibiotics administered under supervision. I never once thought my civil rights were violated.

Selfishness extraordinaire.

We had no problem quarantining astronauts returning from the moon and argue against quarantining health care workers returning from disease infested areas.
Times have changed. What was once widely accepted as a scientifically sound medical decision has now become a controversial political issue. It's a disturbing reflection of our political system IMO.
