Stanford physician emerges from 21-day Ebola quarantine

REDWOOD CITY -- After three weeks of Ebola-related quarantine, Dr. Colin Bucks emerged from his home Friday and celebrated his freedom with a hearty omelet, hash browns and coffee.
The emergency physician and disaster preparedness expert spent 21 days isolated from friends and colleagues -- even his wife and dog, who stayed in a hotel as an added precaution. The relieved couple reunited for a "luxurious" breakfast in Menlo Park.
"To sit in a diner and have a slow breakfast was very nice," he said.
Bucks was jubilant Friday afternoon as he returned to work at Stanford Hospital, though his government-mandated quarantine had hardly been slothful. The doctor viewed his isolation as an extension of his monthlong deployment to remote Liberia, where he treated patients with the deadly viral disease and watched many of them die. The latest outbreak of Ebola has killed more than 5,000 people in West Africa and one in the United States.

Her fight was about the violation of her civil rights and her appalling treatment on return to the US -- based on politicizing the situation through fear-mongering.
That and the need for quarantines to be determined by medical professionals who actually understand the disease versus, say psycho, ignorant teabagger Govs who claim that 13% of infected patients are walking around asymptomatic and spreading Ebola until they drop dead 
(And yes, there is video of a LePage press announcement actually making this bogus claim -- the reality is a WHO study found that 13% of patients do not present with fever, but have the *other* symptoms, which led the CDC to modify their criteria from "fever and" to "fever or"
