35. How would you get from w Africa to NYC

Mon Oct 27, 2014, 09:41 AM

Oct 2014

unless you get on a commercial flight and land at several airports?
Ebola hcw are going to travel on transportation with the public.
They are releasing Hickox anyway
I think there is no problem to have the health dept monitor her twice a day for the remainder of the 21 days. Nigeria also did not quarantine everyone but they did have monitoring by government hcws.
Of course if the person shows symptoms there must be immediate quarantine.
