I can never work out why Shepard Smith works for Fox.
Yep especially if you were treating Ebola in West Africa. I'd self isolate just to be sure. He's been on the 7 train, the L train. The bowling alley he went to has been closed and they're taking precautions but that's also a busy place.Good lord, NYC subway are incredibly busy. Doc should have shown more foresight.
They should all be quarantined as a safety measure before they're allowed to go back home.Some other irresponsible doctor....
Well it's only transmitted by bodily fluids and when he used mass transit they're saying he wasn't sick enough to infect anyone. One person he came into contact with is also now in the hospital. They probably just panicked. Craig Spencer that's his name. He also went to a restaurant.
Just because he wanted to volunteer in Africa, the doc causes panic and disrupts the life of so many others living around him here in NYC.
I can never work out why Shepard Smith works for Fox.
Why because in that clip he was rational, sane and completely not hysterical or blaming it all on Obama or the left? Or even the communists in Europe?
Join us plastic faced Ken-doll-Shep-man. You know you want to. Bring down the asylum from the inside oh great asexual cat eyed liberator of the cable masses!
I see the Daily Mail are remaining rational and distancing themselves from scaremongering.
Ebola epidemic will explode by mid-December and kill tens of thousands of people, scientists warn
Sabeti warned Khan about stress and overwork. “The most important thing is your safety. Please take care of yourself.”
He told her, “I have to do everything I can to help these people,” and then he would put on his gear and go back into the Ebola wards. Khan was a general in a battle where many of his troops were dead or fleeing.
An American nurse who treated Ebola patients in Sierra Leone is to sue over being forced into quarantine despite testing negative.
Doctors Without Borders worker Kaci Hickox returned to the US on Friday and was promptly put into isolation at a New Jersey hospital.
She has tested free of the deadly virus but was told she would be unable to leave for another 21 days - when the disease's incubation period ends.
Her lawyer said the order violated her constitutional rights.
Writing in The Dallas Morning News before the lawsuit was announced, Ms Hickox said: "This is not a situation I would wish on anyone, and I am scared for those who will follow me.
"I am scared about how health care workers will be treated at airports when they declare that they have been fighting Ebola in West Africa.
"I am scared that, like me, they will arrive and see a frenzy of disorganisation, fear and, most frightening, quarantine."
She said that upon telling a border official she had just arrived back, she was immediately ushered into a private room before having questions "barked" at her.
She said she was made to wait hours with little to eat.
"I... thought of many colleagues who will return home to America and face the same ordeal. Will they be made to feel like criminals and prisoners?" Ms Hickox said.
"The US must treat returning health care workers with dignity and humanity."
Three states - New York, New Jersey and Illinois - introduced the mandatory 21-day quarantine period for anyone who has been involved in treating victims in West Africa.
Other states, including Virginia and Georgia, are also considering whether to impose the same regime.
Having mixed feelings about the whole quarentine of returning health care workers. Part of me of course says it is not a bad idea, keep him under observation for 21 days just in case. But it is not like we have had dozens of case of these workers showing up back in the US or other countries, then finding out they have Ebola and they spread the disease, so another part of me thinks it is just a panic move or a move designed to make the public feel better but serves no real purpose in stopping the disease.
I can understand that nurses frustration and anger, but given that she just came back from dealing with Ebola surely she is overplaying the fear factor of being kept in quarentine for 21 days? I mean isn't treating Ebola victims and watching many die more frightening then a few weeks of quarentine?
Of course if there is going to be a quarentine it has to be organized, well run and it can't be just making people sit in a hospital room staring at the walls for 3 weeks. Should add that if done, it needs to be done for a sound, logical reason, not out of overwhelming fear.
Would be ideal if staff returning from Ebola-ridden countries could manage to self-quarantine themselves in some way but up to now this seems to be something they're not prepared to do. Is it any wonder that officialdom has taken over and done it for them.
You never know when symptoms will appear, or how quickly for that matter, so it makes sense to stay away from public places.
Cuomos a Dem in a Dem state. FOX news will have little sway over him. cNN on the other hand....I'm fine with quarantine as soon as symptoms are displayed. A shotgun approach of chucking everyone in quarantine as soon as they get off a plane originating from one of the affected countries is ignorant, and goes against the advice of health care professionals and organizations.
But politicians would rather bend and sway with the tune of FOX news. What else explains the wishy-washy nature of Cuomo and Christie in recent days? Idiots.

Repubs don't like him cause he is a Dem. Dems don't like him because he has not lived up to expectations. Generalizations of course.I am amazed at how unpopular Obama is right now in US. It is almost reaching Bush levels. You had a Democrat Senator hopeful not even admitting today that she voted for him.
