I'm in the minority of the world on this one, but then again the majority of people usually fall for hysteria rather than reason. She tested negative for the disease already, and has zero symptoms. She's probably sick of the all the hysteria that's not science based going around at sites like info wars or natural news not too mention the MSM, and is taken a stand against it. She should do just do it voluntarily, and realize it's not worth the trouble.

I've done a voluntary quarantine before when I had E coli ten years ago, and I had to stay on it until I had three negative test, three weeks in a row. It was really not that big of a deal, I had a small child at the time and didn't want to take a chance. Then again i had tested positive so that's different. Still not worth the trouble to make a fuss about it.

The thing is she tested negative, has no symptoms, and without symptoms, it's not contagious. A force quarantine on someone like her isn't going to accomplish shit, other than satisfy ebola hysteria and make people feel safe.

Slippery slope here, should the fed have the power to force quarantine people that have tested negative for diseases because of mass hysteria?

What it does is allow medical professionals to catch it, if she has it, without anyone else having a chance to catch it.

You're not going to catch ebola from a person that has tested negative, and is showing no symptoms. It's not contagious at that point, even if she did have it.

I guess what I'm saying is you're right Reno however tomorrow could be a different day and she may show symptoms so overnight she starts to show symptoms and in the morning goes to the gym, we have issues.

You have a good point Reno. Better safe than sorry? But I get what you're saying. A 21 day self quarantine when you could have a deadly disease (contagious or not) that everyone is concerned about isn't that much to ask to me. Sometimes you gotta just take one for the team.

Also, it's a major PR issue.

If Maine doesn't do anything and tells her to go about her normal business, then she shows symptoms, the entire Maine Government is going down.

Yea, if she so much has a small fever, she should seek medical attention. When it becomes contagious you know you have it and are fucked at that point. The reason it spread so quick in Africa is because they have some pretty strange religious ceremonies they do with their dead.

Yeah, totally agree but she seems to be kind of a wild card. Would she seek it right away?

I just dont see the burden to her - she is only being asked to stay in her home - it's not like she's locked down in a cell - if she disobeys the order and turns positive and infects anyone other than someone treating her she should be charged with manslaughter if they die

i'm not sure how long it's been since this story broke…or how many days it's been. but she likely wouldn't test positive until the virus has replicated, which wouldn't usually happen until symptoms show…that's why there is a latency period. 21 days from exposure to symptoms = latency period. she'll test negative within that time frame in all likelihood. therefore, negative tests and lack of symptoms don't mean she isn't carrying the virus unless it's after the 21 days or so. irresponsible for her, as a medical professional, to put people at risk. call it gov't control or whatever you want, but you don't want an epidemic on your hands. if it's been more than 21 days someone please let me know and i'll change my opinion. lots of medical experts in here, i see.

She's a national hero, much like Ed Snowden is. Standing up to tyranny and exposing the hypocrisy rife within our system.

i weep for those of you that cant see this. Oh, and your chances of contracting Ebola are right up there with winning Powerball or getting rich speculating on Bitcoin...

Edward Snowden is among the top ten pieces of shit in America over the last 10 years.....

for her supporters...

would you feel comfortable having over at your house for dinner?
would you feel comfortable with her preparing your food?
would you feel comfortable with sharing a drink from the same glass with her?

Influenza is not considered an airborne disease. How many millions of Americans get it every year?

Id feel comfortable having her give me a hummer and then making me a sandwich.


and honestly I would feel more comfortable eating something she prepared than eating
what some of you filthys sob's prepared. Like how many guys are pissing, jerking off and wiping their
snot without washing their hands.:scared1:

I mean for fucks sake, if you are too lazy to wash your hands then keep some sani wipes around.
Shaking hands everyday puts me at far greater risk on a daily basis.

The fact that this woman has rights is lost on many of you. Quarantining someone against their will just because they may be sick is equivalent to jailing them for going to help the needy.

There are far too many people in this country that call for a smaller government but also want the govt to overreach and intervene in situations like this.

@CoachCB, you might as well punch me too, what Snowden did was expose criminal behavior, which is something the public needs to be made aware of. And there are much worse people in the last 10 years that him

Think you need to research some of our country's laws. When there's a public health emergency, the government has the right to pretty much do whatever it wants to do.

A person's personal rights go out the window when everyone's rights are perhaps at risk.
