THEY decided they were not a potential contagious disease threat to others, but the doctor in NY certainly was wrong.
They and this nurse in NJ are not the ones who are supposed to be declaring themselves "ebola free" and not contagious before even being tested once and again within 72 hours.
Their individual "rights" to trot all over the place in NY, Newark, Dallas and Cleveland do not supersede the millions of people living and working in those huge metro areas!

Whatever happened to the 200 plus residents of Ohio who were under quarantine after the nurse visited there? Have they been cleared yet? Have any of them developed the disease? Hopefully no snowbirds from Ohio will return to The Villages and start slobbering all over people.
What is plan B if Doctors Without Borders pulls their staff out of these West Africa countries?

IMO, an airplane should be chartered to take this young nurse home as soon as she can safely be moved. When she became quarantined, she did not give up her right to free speech. The governor did not think this event was serious enough to stick around NJ.
