DOCTORS Are Not Supposed to Treat Themselves Or Their Family Members For A Reason

Human nature is great at denial.

We can be scared to death of something (like that lump in your breast), while at the same time avoiding that mammogram.

This is human nature.

This is why the CDC is supposed to do its job!

This nurse did not intentionally put her family at risk. The CDC should have issued a real quarantine - not this self monitoring crap.

D-E-N-I-A-L is not just a a river in Egypt.

1. Same reason it's not Duncans fault he didn't understand he was infected or it was possible

I think he really believed the woman he helped died from pregnancy/delivery issues rather than Ebola. Sometimes denial can lead to deadly consequences.

2. I agree.

In fact, he had applied for his visa months ago.

He is not guilty of knowingly spreading ebola.
