First we have been told forever by de blasio people to practice safe sex
so isn't quarantine playing safe sex (practices?
Secondly didn't the nurse volunteer?
Third doesn't she want to protect her family? others? Staying behind a glass enclosure is little compared to infecting love ones?
Fourth once she is cleared people will embrace her as a hero.
Fifth people forget that vietnam vets were treated horrible by these de blasio people simply because they chose to answer their countries call and here all that is being asked is to stay away from the population for 21 days.
Sixth how can you blame people for responding to their innate fight/flight response
Seventh 4 medical health workers have been contaminated at least three traveled because they didn't know it.
Eighth it will not be she who will be suing if she ends up negligently infecting people it will be the victims of her disregard

I have been an R.N. for 37 years and am shocked by this nurse's rebellion against having to be quarantined. You would think her first hand experience seeing the devastation of this disease through providing direct care to dying ebola patients would make her an outspoken advocate for quarantine.
