Nurse Hickox is self-monitoring, and taking her temperature twice a day.
Why would she be doing that when she's already sure she doesn't have ebola? So she's contradicting herself.

The governors need to work with Doctor's without Borders if they want medical staff quarantine.
Samaritan's Purse does have their medical staff go into a 21 day quarantine. They have a location within one hour of one of the 4 hospitals equipped to deal with Ebola. 30-40 staff have been through their quarantine process already with nary a peep of "but my human rights !!!!".

She lives in the woods. She would be nobody save this hysterical approach to "news".

Leave the woman alone for goodness sakes. Push her and I can guarantee you she WILL NOT back down.

And now we know how the airports plan to deal with someone coming back from Africa with a fever.

"To the tent with you !"

I'd have an agenda too!
Where is everybody getting that there is "no risk"? Every reputable source says the risk of transmission is within a 21-day period (and in semen up to 90 days, but that's her...I mean his...problem). No official is dying to enforce quarantine on someone without cause.

Libertarians don't put other people at risk with their actions, so you couldn't be more wrong.

Well Spencer was back in NY for a week before his fever developed.

You can't say "no risk" until the 21 days are over.
But according to her, she doesn't have Ebola.

I was thinking that she was a libertarian too, just a wild guess.

OMG. You are speaking tongue-in-cheek, right? Nurses are not god. We should trust a nurse who thinks her precious rights are being stomped on when it is universal knowledge in the real scientific community that 21 days is the incubation period? I wonder what else she might have thought unnecessary.
