(29,098 posts)I just got so annoyed with a relative of mine in NJ over this. Finally, knowing she doesn't get flu shots, I told her she was gonna get locked up next because she's a danger to the community... The stupid about ebola has gone well beyond the "Gay-Cancer/AIDS" outbreak in NY in the eighties.

(5,402 posts)Heck, the likelihood that Ebola will mutate into a airborne disease is just as likely that the flu will mutate into a resistant strain like the Spanish Flu. or that any other common disease will suddenly become more virulent.
Just how ginned up are these crises?

I'm dumbfounded that the American people about to give control of congress to the Republican fuckers who shut down the government last October. These fuckers make their living on the people's lack of a political memory.

On Friday, a health care worker landed at Newark after treating Ebola patients in West Africa, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said at the news conference. A legal quarantine was issued for the woman, who was not a New Jersey resident and was set to go on to New York afterward.
This woman, while her home residence is outside the area, said her next stop was going to be here in New York, Christie said. Governor Cuomo and I discussed it before we came out here, and a quarantine order will be issued. The woman will be quarantined in either New York or New Jersey, Christie said.
Cuomo and Christie said it no longer matters if someone is showing symptoms or not...
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie stopped by Lincoln on Saturday to take in some of the football game and to stump for fellow Republican Pete Ricketts.
Im here because I want people to focus on this race in these last 11 days, before the election, he said. I want the people of Nebraska to not take anything for granted and to know that their vote matters. We want Pete to have a big, comfortable victory on Nov. 4.
Christie credited his confidence, in part, to advertisements the GOP governors group sponsored this fall in Nebraska...
Governor Christie argued Saturday night that President Obama did a lousy job as a world leader. But Christie also made the case that Obamas predecessor, George W. Bush, did a better job.
When we have folks around the world who wonder any longer (sic) whats it mean(s) to be a friend with the US, and what would the United States do in return for our friendship, that never, never had to be worried about in the past administration (sic). Everyone knew where George Bush stood and who he stood with, Christie said during a fundraiser-birthday party for Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad in a Des Moines suburb.
...Bush...nominate(d) Christie for United States Attorney in 2001. It was the role that elevated Christie and positioned him for his 2009 campaign for governor, in which he soundly defeated then-Gov. Jon Corzine, a Democrat. Christie would not be standing on any stage in Iowa or the Jimmy Fallon Show, as a potential 2016 presidential candidate if not for George Bush.
That quickly turned into milligrams:
The governor, speaking to reporters along the Republican Governor Association campaign trail in Iowa, stood by his Friday announcement with New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to quarantine some travelers reentering the country...
My first and foremost obligation is to protect the public health and safety of the people of New Jersey, Christie said. "And so Im sorry if in any way she was inconvenienced, but the inconvenience that could occur from having folks who are symptomatic and ill out and amongst the public is a much, much greater concern of mine. This is a difficult situation to deal with and my heart goes out to her because shes someone whos been trying to help others...
Chris Christie was forced on Monday to allow a nurse being kept in a tent in a hospital parking lot to go home after intense White House pressure to relax a mandatory 21-day quarantine the New Jersey Governor had imposed at a state level.
The embarrassing turnaround came after Obama chaired a White House meeting on the rules and successfully lobbied Christie's New York counterpart, Gov. Andrew Cuomo, to relax their quarantine rules even as Americans grow more concerned about the possibility of a pandemic emergency.
Cuomo gave in on behalf of New Yorkers. But as of Sunday Christie was still pushing for more aggressive measures to protect New Jerseyans, saying he had 'no second thoughts' about the policy.
I didnt reverse my decision, Mr. Christie said from the Brevard Zoo in Melbourne, Fla., where he was campaigning for that states governor, Rick Scott, a fellow Republican. She hadnt had any symptoms for 24 hours. And she tested negative for Ebola. So there was no reason to keep her. The reason she was put into the hospital in the first place was because she was running a high fever and was symptomatic.
If people are symptomatic they go into the hospital, Mr. Christie said. If they live in New Jersey, they can quarantine at home. If they dont, and theyre not symptomatic, then we set up quarantine for them out of state. But if they are symptomatic, theyre going to the hospital.
And he wants to be seen as a Bush II-like leader? Proceed, governor!

(44,580 posts)Hickox has maintained she was asymptomatic the entire time she was being kept at the airport and hospital. She described having her temperature taken with a forehead monitor at Newark airport, which showed she had a temperature of 101 degrees, but insisted that was flawed...because (she) "was flushed and upset." (H)er temperature was taken with an oral thermometer once she arrived at the hospital from quarantine at the airport and it registered at 98.6 degrees.
At which point she should have been released under the CDC "four-levels-of-risk" guidelines. But she wasn't released because HIS "above-and-beyond-the-guidelines" policy was that ALL medical personnel had to to be quarantined for 21 days. He didn't start talking about out of state personnel and levels of risk until afterwards.
If you don't want infected folks invading New Jersey, why allow them to enter the state in the first place? Wouldn't it work better if people quarantined BEFORE they were issued their plane tickets? By the way, there's a medical term for what's happening to Christie now: Sore losing!
