Let's list some questions we'd like Christie to answer at his next Ebola press conf.

[rainbow4321]

I'll start

1) You have said that the nurse was/is obviously ill...is it standard health protocol in your state to put Ebola patients in tents with NO running water, no flushing toilets? How is that waste being disposed of and how often?

2) If she is "obviously ill" have you started the process of seeing if one of the facilities that are trained and equipped to care for Ebola will accept her as a patient?

3) How are you going to to maintain even basic hygiene in a tent with NO running water?

4) Is going without a shower for 21 days the best quality of care your hospitals can provide.

5) How many of these tents are you prepared to put up and at what facilities will they be at given that Doctors Without Borders have said a few dozen frontline workers are expected to come back home in the next month. What if they land in NJ, will you be whisking them away to such tents, also?

6) When you released the comment "obviously ill" and her (inaccurate) temp information was released, did you know that you were violating HIPAA laws..do you have paperwork signed by that nurse allowing you to discuss her medical information and you are aware she is concerned you have taken it upon yourself to give out false information.

1. Excellent.

I'm so angry about this I just can't post.

[gwheezie]

2. Is he going to quarantine the staff at umdnj

because ya know they've been in contact with the nurse

[cwydro]

3. He is a buffoon.

I hope this blows back on him.

[AgingAmerican]

4. "Do you have a fever?"

nt

[Warpy]

5. All excellent questions if people don't let him squirm and dissemble.

They need to nail his big fat ass to the wall on this one.

It is unacceptable and so is he.

6. More questions..

First off, thank you for liking the questions.

1) Have the TSA workers who came in contact with the "obviously ill" nurse also been placed in mandatory quarantine, along with EMTs who transported. If not, why not?

2) Will the current workers caring for her be placed in similar tents and are they in quarantine now? They are not leaving the hospital, right, since they are at her bedside for 21 days will they be quarantined for an additional 21 days when her quarantine is over? And who will provided care for THEM when they are in quarantine? Will THOSE workers then be in quarantine? The cycle could go on forever.
That's a lot of tents...will there be a compound of these tents and where will they be?

Again, Govenor, we are using scenarios going by YOUR mandatory quarantine rules..unless you are going to pick and choose who gets quarantined, that is.

7. I've got one...

Gov. Christie how does it feel now that your political career is over?

[vlyons]

8. Gov Christie since you refuse to support raising the minimum wage

Would you be willing to get paid the current minimum wage in your state?

[Cha]

9. Christie will just Blame it on Obama.

[badtoworse]

10. Christie and Cuomo are 100% right

How would NY and / or NJ deal with a situation where a returning medical worker becomes symptomatic after or while riding mass transit? Tell me how we would track with whom they had contact and I'll agree they overreacted. "The probability of infection is low" is not a good enough answer in my book.

11. Christie did arguably the right thing in inarguably the most wrong way possible

I would have swallowed my pride, called the president and asked to borrow a field hospital from the Army. They could have set it up on Fort Dix and had showering facilities, treatment facilities, everything they needed and not this "tent with no running water" shit Christie has.

[Crunchy Frog]

12. This is massive overkill, the way this is being handled.

Why not just put her up in a hotel room, let her have her fricken luggage, arrange for delivery of food and other necessary items, and maybe just station a cop to make sure she doesn't leave?

I'm not opposed to imposing some kind of isolation period on high risk people coming back from Africa, but this is just insane what they're doing.

[badtoworse]

17. Do you seriously believe that any hotel would agree to that? See Post 16

[gollygee]

14. Putting her in a tent with no running water was the 100% right thing to do?

If she's such a danger, then this is creating greater risk. Her waste needs to handled properly, and a tent isn't the place.

This is all about wanting to appear to care and be serious, but not at all about having any real standard of care or actually doing any good.

[badtoworse]

16. The quarantine conditions need to be improved, but that does not change the need to impose it.

[MFM008]

13. only shoring up creds for 2016

They dont give a rats ass about ebola victims.

[ck4829]

15. On 6. People have lost their jobs for less than what Christie did

I'm pretty sure she did not say it was OK for him to release her medical information on television.

[magical thyme]

18. Are the healthcare workers treating Dr. Spencer at Bellevue in lockdown in the hospital?

Are their tents indoors or in the parking lot? Do they have showers or are they using baby wipes to stay clean and fresh? Are they wearing paper scrubs in their tents, or regular scrubs?

Or are they driving home and in quarantine in their homes? What if they don't have cars? Who is driving them home then?
