Forget this quarantine stuff. What you have to do is bind her hands and feet, then throw her in the lake. If she floats, she's a witch and you should kill her. If she drowns, well then she wasn't a witch after all.
Oh, sorry. I'm thinking of a different instance of irrational fear propagated by phenomenally stupid people. Carry on.
Everyone in NJ should be quarantined.
Problem is the self quarantine is not working.
The first nurse from Texas called the CDC which gives her a go ahead to get on a plane and she goes to a bridal shop which closes down for a week after. (FU small business owner that lost a weeks income, I'm more important) and N.Y. nurse is caught getting take out food.
Don't count on people doing the right thing. They don't. They won't. The chain is only as good as the weakest link.
This nurse believes enough in what she to risk her life to help fight the Ebola overseas. That's admirable. But why does that sacrifice end on the plane ride home? Aren't the people here worth at least the same amount consideration.
This is not an easy choice but in the context of what's at stake. Suck it up. I rather apologize to a handful of people for overreacting than an entire race for not doing enough.
There is nothing at stake other than civil liberties, and intelligence.
The government, as usual, is behind all this nonsense.
Obama and the puppet masters (band name btw?) would absolutely love it if there was an Ebola epidemic. Big government to the rescue and an opportunity to introduce some Machiavellian moral compromises to further erode that silly Western system of exploitation called "humanism." Cynicism is a sad religion.
Ebola is God's punishment for gay marriage.

My what measure? No one has caught Ebola in a public place other than a hospital. If self quarantine wasn't working, people would be transmitting the disease in public.

By shear luck though. Do you really want to rely on luck when dealing with a deadly disease like Ebola? There is no reason to when there are fairly simple ways to ENSURE the disease isn't spread by those returning from effected countries in Africa.
Man, that chick doing the the interviewing is absolutely hideous. I have not had TV for a while now so I have to ask, are they putting people who look like that on TV regularly these days?
Yes, those privileged, self-centered doctors without borders, always looking out only for themselves, never for others. they just go off to ebola regions, taking "care" of other people and risking their lives, all for themselves. They are nothing like us caring Americans who sit behind our computer screens typing away and doing nothing but good in the world.
The take out food was not a NY nurse, that was the doctor working for NBC news.

Unfortunately for you, you will have to deal with the fact that you are a moron every single day for the rest of your miserable, pathetic and irrelevant existence.

By sheer people-don't-go-around-touching-strangers'-bodily-fluids-unless-they-are-medics-treating-them. Luck has nothing to do with it.
You just want to be scared, the usual deal. Terrorists. Zombies.

Exactly. She should know better as a health care giver.
The pussification of Amercia roles on!
This is hysteria. She is a professional, she took appropriate measures, she is not showing any signs.
The US' reaction is truly over the top. There should be screening, but between screening at West African airports and US airports, the odds of somebody getting through are extremely remote.
Yet another in a long string of embarrassing US responses to a problem.

So we have one Liberian man who made it in and died..
A doctor who made it back infected and is in the hospital now..
...a kid from Guinea who is being evaluated now...
Yeah, extremely remote. About one per week maybe?

there are 150-200 people/day coming to the US from West Africa. So ~1200/week. 1/1200 is infected. There have been no cases of an infected person slipping through the net.
Further, those infected have not infected anybody else unless they were in direct contact w/ the person e.g. Duncan's family did not get infected, people on the airplane w/ the infected people did not get infected, etc.
So yes, the odds are low w/ existing procedures. Be more worried about handguns, seatbelts, the flu, etc. Far more US citizens will die from these causes, and there is actually something you can do about all of these.
The reaction of Americans to this issue is astounding. The rest of the world knows how stupid Americans are. Now they have even more confirmation.

Yeah, it is quite interesting how much the Americans are panicking about this, especially when you consider that there are far, far more West Africans travelling to and living in Europe than there are in the USA.
