If they can quarantine a visibly healthy nurse with no sign or

26. Fear is the fastest way to lose freedom...

I don't think they'll be able to short of a court order.

However, after the NYC experience of Dr. Spencer who went all over NYC, taking public transportation, using Uber, going bowling and eating at restaurants, all while having a fever, people are not happy he didn't voluntarily stay at home. Some of the places he visited closed down to decontaminate. Nurses at the hospital he is now staying (Bellevue) are not happy to be working there, calling in sick, being shunned by their co-workers, even family, and being discriminated by people who serve them (hairdressers, etc).

A single Ebola patient can shut down the ICU of a hospital for weeks. Local hospitals are not equipped to deal with a BSL4 pathogen like Ebola.

The likelihood she will get Ebola is low. But there is no vaccine or proven treatment for Ebola means an infection is not preventable like with measles, smallpox, etc are... Dr. Spencer thought he was fine, too.

I would agree with one thing she says: more education is needed, and certainly a lot more research to develop vaccines.

If they are clamoring to quarantine her then I wonder why they don't also do the same for the workers caring for the Ebola patients in hospitals here, in Dallas, NY, Atlanta, etc...

In order to get in front of the fear factor even California has just announced a 21 day quarantine too. And I predict a drip, drip, drip of scares and actual Ebola cases which will cause many more states to enact quarantines, and I think Obama will eventually do the same thing.

Waiting for people to get past the incubation period doesn't seem like a major inconvenience when you're talking about Ebola.

Guns? The murder rate has fallen by half over the past 20 years. You wouldn't know it given the hysterical coverage of everything that bleeds on TV news.

Our freedoms? Sorry, going, going, gone. It started long ago, and they're not coming back.
