Could it really be possible upon further testing that prior to last day's ahem so-called "quarantine" that she [Kaci] could indeed test positive?
She has a boyfriend, I believe he's a live in. So it's safe to say they have exchanged some body fluids in this past week.

And I can just post another opinion piece, from someone with high credentials.

"She’s been asked to conduct herself as a traditional caregiver, and put societal peace-of-mind ahead of her personal convenience. Such self-sacrifice had been part of the social contract, but based on her insolent stance, that doesn’t look likely."

"So long as Hickox and returning aid workers like her are allowed to impose their potential exposure on the general public, fear can’t be nursed."

I've stated this before and I'm serious when I say I pray this doesn't happen - but you let ONE regular joe or jane (non-healthcare worker) US citizen contract ebola from a health worker or traveler from overseas and all hell will break loose.
