About damn time and I hope she sues them. And wtf, when she has time to reflect, she'll understand the quarantine? Oh Christie you patronizing asshole, she has and does already.

Hickox, who has tested negative for the lethal virus, was isolated under New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's policy of a 21-day mandatory quarantine for health care workers returning from helping Ebola patients in West Africa.

The New Jersey Department of Health issued a statement this morning that Hickox has been "symptom free for the last 24 hours," and that it decided to discharge her after consulting with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Hickox's release appeared to be a reversal by the Christie administration. The governor defended the mandatory 21-day quarantine order on Sunday. Christie, who was in Florida today, said that "when she (Hickox) has time to reflect, she'll understand" the quarantine, according to the Associated Press.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS
What does the color of her hair have to do with it? Redhead's are regularly discriminated against, and stereotyped. This is offensive to fellow redheads and should be hidden.

(115,677 posts)and it was the "CDC and medical officials" that "hospitalized" her and being involuntarily held without due process is like being "late for a plane"?

But Mr. Christie remained adamant that there had been reason to quarantine Ms. Hickox in a tent at University Hospital in Newark, with a portable toilet, but no shower or television. She was obviously ill enough that the C.D.C. and medical officials hospitalized her and gave her an Ebola test, Mr. Christie said on Monday. They dont do that just for fun. Thats a very specific, difficult, expensive test to do.

Mr. Christie then compared Ms. Hickoxs plight to that of any airline traveler. Any of us have seen people who are traveling and theyve been stopped, whether they are late for a plane or whatever they are doing, they get upset and angry, he said.
98.6 is a "high fever" and no ebola symptoms means she is "symptomatic" and you didn't reverse your decision but it was the" CDC and medical officials" that "hospitalized" her and being involuntarily locked up is like being "late for a plane"?
