She volunteered for Doctors Without Borders. They are the entity responsible for her exit and re-entry from this country, and for making sure she has been properly checked and tested for Ebola before getting onto an intercontinental and multinational itinerary.

Their financial statements linked show Net Assets of $167,000,000 as a 501c3 nonprofit organization. Surely they have funds to test these workers twice and 72 hours apart, while "self quarantining" them in decent vacation lodging somewhere in one of these 3 African countries, which I've always heard are beautiful places.

After working on the front lines for free, can't they have a quiet vacation there for 21 days, paid by donations to this massive foundation? The big donors like Zuckerman and Gates et al would probably contribute to it if asked.

And why can't the host country provide them with some decent R&R accommodations while on self quarantine, as a way of saying THANK YOU for their courageous and selfless service to the nation?

But threatening federal discrimination lawsuits seems to get more press, book sales, talk show appearances, headlines on HuffPo and Drudge etc.
