Army troops isolated after Africa duty tour

[TM99]

37. Not at all.

I am making the argument that individuals who work in dangerous situations which could impact others should be required to act differently than the general populace.

This nurse is assuming that she is somehow different and special by virtue of her knowledge and experience, and it simply is not true.

Laws do exist, and if you read the link I already provided in another response in this thread, you will see that public health concerns still trump personal rights. These governors were not breaking any laws. Additionally, you obviously did not read any of those statutes that you provided here in a link because they address in a similar way the situation as it was unfolding.

A woman from a known 'hot zone' was registering a higher than normal temperature. She was treated with accordingly until it could be ascertained that the temperature was not correct and that she, at this time, was virus free. That took a few days in which she was placed in as comfortable of a make-shift isolation dwelling as could be made for this unforeseen situation.

You want to avoid issues like this again? Then let's implement some broad and general protocols. For example, let's have hospitals qualified in each state to be centers capable of dealing with a bio-hazard of this degree. If Obama can find money for bombing runs in Iraq, I am certain that he can find it for emergent funding of better isolation and treatment facilities within centers in each state.

Until things like this are actually accomplished, we will continue to have near misses. Nurses flying across the country while the viral load is building in their system. Doctors going bowling while the viral load is building in their systems. This woman whining that she didn't have a TV. In this day and age, I am quite certain that the internet access and Netflix account on her iPhone certainly could suffice for 3 days while medical professionals determined if she was or was not sick.

And yes, she could learn a thing or two from the soldiers undergoing their sequestering.
