WTF is wrong with people?
Is she likely to infect anyone? No.
Would it hurt her to hang around at her house for 21 days? No.
Why can she just be considerate of others?
Hell, I'll send her a set of rollers if she wants 'em

She should be under forced quarantine and by breaking quarantine needs to be arrested and prosecuted when or if she's declared well.

Big government? This is one of the clearly defined roles of government.
On the other hand, taxing one person and handing it to Pookie in the projects is not.
God help us all if there ever had to be a military draft.

NO!
They ""shuffled her off"", then they took her temp. It measured 101ºF. That is high.
quote:
I arrived at the Newark Liberty International Airport around 1 p.m. on Friday, after a grueling two-day journey from Sierra Leone. I walked up to the immigration official at the airport and was greeted with a big smile and a “hello.”
I told him that I have traveled from Sierra Leone and he replied, a little less enthusiastically: “No problem. They are probably going to ask you a few questions.”
He put on gloves and a mask and called someone. Then he escorted me to the quarantine office a few yards away. I was told to sit down. Everyone that came out of the offices was hurrying from room to room in white protective coveralls, gloves, masks, and a disposable face shield.
One after another, people asked me questions. Some introduced themselves, some didn’t. One man who must have been an immigration officer because he was wearing a weapon belt that I could see protruding from his white coveralls barked questions at me as if I was a criminal.
Two other officials asked about my work in Sierra Leone. One of them was from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. They scribbled notes in the margins of their form, a form that appeared to be inadequate for the many details they are collecting.
I was tired, hungry and confused, but I tried to remain calm. My temperature was taken using a forehead scanner and it read a temperature of 98. I was feeling physically healthy but emotionally exhausted.
Three hours passed. No one seemed to be in charge. No one would tell me what was going on or what would happen to me.
I called my family to let them know that I was OK. I was hungry and thirsty and asked for something to eat and drink. I was given a granola bar and some water. I wondered what I had done wrong.
Four hours after I landed at the airport, an official approached me with a forehead scanner. My cheeks were flushed, I was upset at being held with no explanation. The scanner recorded my temperature as 101.
The female officer looked smug. “You have a fever now,” she said.

I have no idea why people think this is OK.

I'm sure if anyone on here calling this chick a bitch and thinking shes just being inconsiderate went through the same process they'd be pissed too.

So, your temp can rise to 101 just by being agitated or angry?
I've never heard that before.

the 21 day isolation period is unnecessary for anything other than soothing phobias
Little barry O disagrees with you. Soldiers will face 21 days of isolation before returning home from their mission. West Africans can arrive and are free to walk about. American soldiers, not so much.

quote:Yup. I think that's why a lot of the medical people on this forum considered only temperatures above 101.5 to be medically relevant. But that would be just your forehead's temperature, which is why a medical professional should be the final decision maker as to whether someone should be quarantined. As soon as the doctor at the hospital determined that she did not have a fever she should have been on her way back to the airport. Heck, she never should have been held for 4 hours before that. The fact that everyone was suiting up just because she told them she worked over there was pretty ridiculous.

This is a stupid comment. The thread seems to indicate a 50/50 split or so.
To suggest that either side of this argument is "retarded" is the work of a simplistic thought process.

If his implication was there was a multi-hour spread between the temps, he did not state that. He said "They took her temp with an infrared doohickey... it showed high. They said.. AHA... SYMPTOMS. They took it again orally, and it was 98.6" That meme is BS. They did take her temp again after a period of time, and it had returned to normal range. Are you under the impression that might not occur if the initial febrile recording was illness related? If you are under that impression, let's correct it.
The woman was potentially ebola exposed. She had a recorded temperature of 101°F. If she threw spastic conniptions which elevated her temperature, TOUGH! Too bad! She met any reasonable criterion for quarantine until her symptoms declared her noncontagious. Assertions that any reasonable public official should have or would have allowed her to board another airliner are STUPID!
Is that what you are saying?
Are you even so much as hinting that a person with a documented 101° fever, fatigue, and with her given contact and travel history should have been allowed to board another aircraft?
Are you that Christie-hate blinded?
Goodness Gracious Folks!

I don't give a flying frick. She says she's a medical professional but is the most retarded one that I've seen recently. She's being a selfish count by not quarantining herself until she doesn't have the virus anymore.

The lying schmo Dr. Spencer (in NYC who went bowling, rode the subway etc and lied to police about it) was forbidden from returning to his job at the hospital where he was employed, for 3 weeks.....hmmmm...... our soldiers are being quarantined and kept from their families and others for 3 weeks....hmmmmm.....I think ALL OF US Americans deserve the same protection from these people like the a-hole nurse in Maine.
