When she gets out with a clean bill of health, she should sneeze on him.

2. White House has pushed back on these quarantines

and according to the NYT say they should be reversed since they are counterproductive and will deter health workers from assisting with Ebola in West Africa.

It's similar to the previously-expressed idea that the threat of forced quarantines will make prospective patients less likely to come forward with symptoms.

.... our government (ie these governors) having the ability to do something like this .... while the science and those with expertise vehemently disagree, is far more frightening to me than ebola

And when I saw Christie run to Fox to repeat his anti - science quarantine I knew he is feeling the heat of the medical experts he rejected in favor of Fox fear.

He is all in, time to twist the knife. Happy to see President Obama agree.

What are these "obvious signs of illness" you say the brave hero nurse in a tent had, sir, can you answer that simple question, since you are using it to base your fear mongering pandering imprisonment of a true American hero.

Support our troops, support our medical warriors, they fight to save lives, not kill them.

7. She has hired a lawyer.

She is in solitary confinement and has no symptoms. She has had two negative tests.

I agree that her civil rights have been violated! Hope she smacks him with a lawsuit.

It kind of boils down to false imprisonment.
