Nurse's Lawyers Promise Legal Challenge to Ebola Quarantine
http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/ebola-virus-outbreak/nurses-lawyers-promise-legal-challenge-ebola-quarantine-n234416
Lawyers for a nurse quarantined in a New Jersey hospital say they’ll sue to have her released and file a constitutional challenge to state restrictions for health care workers returning to New York and New Jersey after treating Ebola patients in West Africa. Civil liberties attorney Norman Siegel said Kaci Hickox, who was quarantined after arriving Friday at the Newark airport, shows no symptoms and should be released immediately. He and attorney Steven Hyman said the state attorney general’s office had cooperated in getting them access to Hickox.
The lawyers, speaking outside Newark University Hospital, where Hickox is quarantined, said they spent 75 minutes with her on Sunday. They said she was being kept in a tented area on the hospital's first floor with a bed, folding chairs and little else — they said she was able to get a laptop computer with wi-fi access only Sunday. But they said she is not being treated. “She is fine. She is not sick,†Hyman said. Photos they released showed her in hospital garb peering through a plastic window of the tented-off area.
There are penalties for violating quarantine laws.

Fine. We'll just stop them from returning to the US until the epidemic in Africa is over.
Oh wait, Obama won't even keep non-citizen disease carriers out of the country.

:argh: a nurse! She should know how important this is and she already has a lawyer right? ::)

Quarantine the lawyers too when they meet with her.

We care more about animals.
Quarantine laws for moving pets and livestock are more stringent. Country to country, state to state, and in some cases county to county.

CBS Reports that a group of US soldiers returning from the Ebola region have landed in Italy to begin their 21 day quarantine prior to returning to the United States. The Joint Chief of Staff stated all returning US military will be subject to this protocol prior to returning to US soil out of an abundance of precaution.
Hmmmmmmmmmm. Why is the military getting shit on again?

^Because 5 + obama = 5.

We have seven bases in Italy. Maybe that's where they were deployed from and are just returning.

Why is the military being subjected to this protocol but a nurse that treated Ebola patients returning from Africa is not?

Maine seeks legal powers to force nurse into quarantine
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/10/29/ebola-nurse-maine/18105327/
FORT KENT, Maine. -- Gov. Paul LePage said Wednesday that Ebola nurse Kaci Hickox was "unwilling" to follow state health guidelines and that he was seeking legal authority to force her to remain quarantined at a rural home in Maine for 21 days.
Hickox, who does not have any symptoms of the deadly virus, said Wednesday that she would not abide by quarantine rules that she said were "not scientifically nor constitutionally just."
"I don't plan on sticking to the guidelines," Hickox tells Today show's Matt Lauer via Skype. "I am not going to sit around and be bullied by politicians and forced to stay in my home when I am not a risk to the American public."
What a moron! She should obey quarantine laws. Ebola is no joke as it is a severe disease.

People are support this scrunt saying that she isn't showing any symptoms. I say err on the side of caution rather than having to backtrack her steps and contacts if she does become symptomatic.
-
I'm sure a quarantine would be paid time off. What kind of lib wouldn't take up free pay for sitting on their ass?!

I agree. Anyone who supports her are enabling and they are just as bad.

She keeps on harping on her "rights'. She conveniently avoids talking about her responsibilities. She needs to be responsible to the rest of the community. As a nurse she should know better.

As a "Dumb as a Bag of Hammers" Democrat aparatchik however, there's no conceivable way she could know better.

She does definitely seem to have an agenda she is stubbornly sticking to.

Maybe it's a deliberate ploy to get herself arrested. Then Holder can come riding in on his black horse with his team of civil rights lawyers.

Holder's remaining ability to ride to anyone's "rescue" can currently be measured on an egg timer.
Now, the new ****Tard that Obama tries to ram through a lame-duck Senate before the adults take charge in January (well, as "adult" as it gets with the likes of Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell and Juan McLame in charge of things there) on the other hand...

State of Maine Document Reports Kaci Hickox’s Roommate in Africa Developed Ebola
http://wagmtv.com/state-of-maine-document-reports-kaci-hickoxs-roommate-in-africa-developed-ebola/
Very brief.
Sheila Pinette of the Maine CDC has released information that the roommate of Kaci Hickox, while in West Africa has displayed signs of ebola. Pinette says “The respondents roommate in Africa became infected without knowing how she became infected with Ebola. (Any potential risk to respondent from that incident has passed).†This is one of 35 points Pinette made while filing a verified petition for public health order yesterday with the state. Kaci Hickox was issued temporary court order. The document says Hickox must submit to active monitoring, coordinate her travel with public health authorities, not use commercial or public transportation, not go to any public places or workplaces unless to receive necessary health care, and she must maintain a 3-foot distance from other people and not leave Fort Kent without consulting public health authorities.
Hickox should no better. I would arrest her.
