I ask again, would those who oppose quarantine of this nurse, feel comfortable with her baby sitting their grandchild?

Duncan arrives, get sick, is turned away from the hospital, gets sicker returns to the hospital and later dies. 2 hospital workers who had direct contact with his body fluids are infected with the virus. Some 100 people in Ohio are quarantined due to Amber Vinson. Duncan's family are quarantined and a laboratory tech is quarantined on a cruise ship. None of the quarantined parties are infected with the virus.

These virus is difficult to catch a point which seems to be lost on many of the posters here and the general public. Hopefully no one in NYC will get sick as Dr. Spencer was asymptotic when he was out in public. Perhaps if no one gets sick we will all begin to calm down.

Report: 5 Year Old Hospitalized In NYC With Possible Ebola Symptoms

I'm always amused when someone engages in historical revisionism and applies contemporary standards to an earlier era. I don't think it really accomplishes much except to allow some to preen with supposed moral superiority or greater levels of enlightenment etc ... I'm guessing you also opposed the use of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima and Nagasaki ... but that's another thread.

Anyway, the person who signed the executive order for internment was FDR. In the context of the times, uncertainty and fear, it was considered a prudent precaution. Unfortunate and regrettable I agree, but that's looking back with the luxury of hindsight, thus I don't criticize him for doing it. Any President at the time probably would have made the same decision.

You are wrong. I recognized "the use of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima and Nagasaki" as a necessary military decision and supported it, horrible as its effects were on the civilian population.

And you completely missed the point I was making. I agree with you about "the luxury of hindsight"; however, I was focusing on the difference in treatment of U.S. citizens who were descendants of one enemy in contrast to the treatment of U.S. citizens who were descendants of the other two enemies. This has NOTHING to do with "the luxury of hindsight" and EVERYTHING to do with racism!

what I need from some who are against the qurantine is an understanding of what they think should be done under the following circumstances:

A person is either from the hot zone or has been exposed to infected patients.
The person shows no signs of ebola and is allowed to fly out.
The person arrives in TV and still does not show any symtoms.
It is published that people so exposed may possibly show symptoms within 21 days of exposure, which means those who showed no symptoms yesterday still have the potential to become infected today.
Should these people be allowed to visit the squares?
Attend a function at Savannah Center?
Have dinner across the table with you at Arnold Palmers?
Ride on the bus sitting next to you?
Attend a wine tasting at GarVinos in line ahead of you?

Remembering these folks can still become symptomatic and infected at anytime along the way during the above.

Is that OK?

The only way to avoid infected people at the squares, The Savannah Center, Arnold Palmer's, on the bus, or GarVinos is to stay away from those places; along with airplanes, cruise ships, doctor's offices, hospitals, nursing homes, any places that crowds gather.

A person can only be responsible for their own well-being and not for those around them.

You completely missed my point that people no longer believe what they are being told because there have been so many mistakes made and situations where they make it up as we go along. Absolutely no confidence in what the CDC, the administration, the WHO, the NHI or any of the other muckety-mucks say at this point.

Obviously those exposed and infected do not subscribe to being responsible for theirs or anybody elses well being.

It is very simple....do not let them in in the first place....like it or not!

OK so the nurse was released. We don't know what the conditions of her release are yet. Confined to home. Very lawyerly avoides saying quarantined at home. But enough about the nurse's media moments of fame.

I have a real problem understanding what is attempting to be communicated. If the exposure is not a big deal, then why are hundreds of thousands of dollars and man hours being spent to find those who have come in contact with those who develop symptoms.

I do not mean to put anybody in a corner but what I still have not heard is it OK for an ebola exposed visitor to TV to walk, sit and be among us??

lol!!!! Why must you criminalize everything?

The doctor followed the CDC procedure for medical professional, the nurse was and is not symptomatic.

How many people in the US have contracted Ebola from the people, in your own words, those exposed and infected do not subscribe to being responsible?
