In reply to the discussion: Kaci Hickox Won't Follow Maine Ebola Quarantine Rule, Lawyer Says [View all]snappyturtle
(14,656 posts)there is a cure and/or a vaccine I see no harm in leaving no stone unturned.
Someone downthread said there are a lot of what-ifs...true...therefore lets be
prudent. A 21 one day isolation is not a life sentence.
I've visited many boards on this subject of Kaci. Overwhelmingly people regard
her as selfish...to say the least. Why should she comply? If she were to do that
then people would see her as a professional not willing to take any risk, low or
not. She wins...albeit it her right to vocally object at the same time. Might even
make her 'case' stronger.
Until someone can precisely predict when a symptom will pop up in someone who
has had contact with ebola, I think it's prudent to isolate. Speaking of what-ifs...
what-if Coumo and Christie had not issued isolation and she infected others?...you
know these governors were between and rock and a hard place.
One person's (Kaci) objections has put this nation into a turmoil which is almost as
virulent as ebola itself. Of course, all of this is my humble opinion. Oh, BTW, while I'm
ranting, I find it weirdly amusing that folks are so upset over a 21 day isolation but
not so much as permanent loss of civil liberties and constitutional rights through
the Patriot Act, NDAA, NSA spying, et. al. when those do little to protect us, again imho,
but 21 day isolations may actually give us some protection against an enemy such as ebola.
