Kaci Hickox court ordered to stay 3 feet away from people

8. I would support this

as soon as we also require everyone with the flu to be quarantined and remain 20 feet from everyone (since, unlike Ebola, the flu is airborn).

Then I would believe that this is "medically" motivated...and not political.

Afterall, the flu is going to kill 15-20 thousand times more Americans this year than Ebola.

Consider this. You have a better chance of being struck by lightning, while being eaten by a shark, as you're winning the Powerball Lottery, than you do of contracting Ebola.

If you ever wondered about the power of the media to influence otherwise "sane" people, you need only look at the last month of Eboal hysteria.

Perhaps, sometime in the not too distant future, we will look back on this episode as the time the media "jumped the shark", and be genuinely ashamed of ourselves.
