"Here's How You Get Ebola"

[donquixote99]

This person may or may not be a paragon of responsibility. The 'or not' is the worrisome possibility, of course. It's way too easy, it's just human, to go into denial if a symptom shows up that might be a death sentence. So I worry about the 'self-reporting' concept. I think I want another party checking them.

That's in the judge's orders in Maine, I believe. I think he split the apple pretty well.

Don, a CDC official is checking on Kaci Hickox twice a day. It was reported in the link I posted.

As to her denying any symptoms? She knows more than anyone that getting prompt treatment would save her life, as it has with all of the other Ebola patients in the US except Duncan and he was too far gone when he was accurately diagnosed. She's a professional nurse.

A correlation I see in this between the nurse's cavalier attitude and that of parents who choose to forgo vaccination of their children. I feel common sense would make anyone self regulate their interaction with other people.

I think making them financially responsible for any they infect because of these actions would be a way of changing attitudes. If they knew a lawsuit would be in their future for any and all they infected more care might be taken.

I think you are probably right. The morality of money, maybe the only thing that works anymore.

For pity's sake she and her boy friend went for a quiet bicycle ride down what sure looked like a little used back road. They were followed by a state trooper. The crowd of media people came to her, not the other way around. She is a registered nurse who knows first hand what ebola can do so I rather think she is taking her temperature regularly.

Meanwhile some control freak governors go ape. Christie had the bloody nerve to come down here to MD and bitch about taxes. Ha, if our property was in NJ it would likely be $14,500 a year instead of $4500.

I see no correlation whatsoever. The nurse's actions are based on science, whereas those parents' decisions who eschew vaccinations for their kids are based upon irrational fear. Accordingly, the correlation is between those who fear a healthy nurse on a bike ride and those who fear vaccinations.
