THIS is why the nurse in Maine and her followers were way too flippant:
Salia, a Sierra Leone citizen who was a permanent resident of the U.S. and lived in Maryland, first showed Ebola symptoms on Nov. 6 but tested negative for the virus. He eventually tested positive on Monday.
So let's see. Nov. 6 was Thursday, when he tested negative. He tested positive on Monday the 10th.
WHEN he tested positive 4 days after being negative, he was immediately so sick he was apparently beyond treatment.
That means he was immediately highly contagious the day or two before!
Without quarantining people coming from such exposure places or work sites, they could unknowingly infect hundreds of the healthcare workers most qualified to fight and treat it!
I don't know when people are going to wake up about how easily and quickly this thing can be spread, and only a few centers like Omaha and Emory are equipped and able and funded to have 7 nurses at a time, plus legions of other staff taking care of patients like Nina Pham and Amber Vinson needed.
If one of these hospitals got 10-20 ebola patients--some of whom are the hospital's staff nurses, doctors and techs--they'd have to shut down and all the hundreds of existing patients would be up s*** creek without a paddle.
