I say" Our basic human rights are being violated if she isn't quarantined".

I don't understand that people would say that this may keep people from volunteering to go to Africa to help people with Ebola.


I don't get that as an argument at all. I JUST don't understand. EXCEPT...she is very young and it is all about her.

When doctors volunteer to work for Doctors Without Borders for four or eight weeks, they leave their practice or place of employment for that period of time. A lot of times their families (especially their kids) don't want them to leave for that long. Adding three weeks to an eight week stint would make it out of the question for some who would volunteer.

To say that a young doctor who just returned from working with Ebola patients in Sierra Leone is "very young and it is all about her" is unimaginable.
