Maine nurse's boyfriend still barred from campus
Source: AP-Excite
FORT KENT, Maine (AP) A nurse who successfully fought Maine's quarantine for health care workers who have treated Ebola patients is free to go wherever she pleases, but her boyfriend on Monday was still staying away from the campus where he's a nursing student.
Ted Wilbur told reporters that the University of Maine at Fort Kent asked him to stay away as his girlfriend, Kaci Hickox, was in the news amid attempts to quarantine her after she returned from treating Ebola patient in West Africa. The university contends he voluntarily agreed to stay away, and the voluntary agreement remained in effect Monday.
Ray Phinney, associate dean of student life and development, said the university is willing to revisit the agreement.
Hickox, who contends she poses no danger because she's not showing symptoms, fought attempts to quarantine her after returning from Sierra Leone.

All those who do not understand that an asymptomatic person is NOT able to spread Ebola, even if that person later becomes symptomatic, needs to read up on a lot of basic things. Until then couldn't we please let the adults who actually understand these things be in charge?

(7,581 posts)no matter what you deniers here think. No one wants her or him working in them as nurses until after the quarantine. I would refuse to let them near me of my family.

(2,807 posts)How many days has it been since she took care of an ebola patient? Also, after the 21 days will you then be unafraid to be near them or have them care for you?

(2,749 posts)Do you mean to say that if your father was having a heart attack in a restaurant and the only person present who could help was Kaci Hickox, you would let your father die rather that allow Nurse Hickox try to keep him alive until more help came? That's real and willful ignorance at work there.

The ignorance here is astounding.

(7,906 posts)that you think a stranger would want you to be her BF? It's very odd.

(1,986 posts)Besides, I didn't say anything about what she would want. Just what I would want.
You really do need to work on your reading comprehension/critical thinking skills.
Just try. I know you can do it!

(7,906 posts)she doesn't want you. So it's awful silly for you to even entertain these thoughts.
