Easy solution to the nurse quarantine

[Glitterati]

All these people who are so terrified of catching ebola from an asymptomatic nurse, should just quarantine themselves for 21 days!

Don't go out, don't allow anyone in and you won't catch ebola from anyone.

See how simple that is?

Let's see how willing these panic button pushers are to undergo quarantine for 21 days.

1. let's hope faux scares their viewers away from polling places on tuesday lol

2. Ignoring the ignorance of assuming 'terror' is behind any ideas of quarantine...

How would they know which 21 days to do it? They'd need time travel to go back 4-6 days in time and tell themselves to start isolating themselves those 4-6 days before the other person became symptomatic.

So when you come up with an idea that doesn't require the discovery of time travel, be sure and let folks know.

5. If you are afraid of Ebola I suggest you imprison yourself

until your unfounded fear goes away. Don't impose restrictions on other people's freedom because of your irrationality.

6. I'm not. and neither are most of the other people who favour

pro-active quarantines. We simply want to minimize the amount of work the CDC is forced to do on a budget that's been slashed by Republicans, so that IF we wind up with a larger wave of disease, we'll still have the funds to deal with it, rather than having wasted all sorts of money and resources on unnecessary contact tracking and monitoring.

7. Proactive quarantines? You mean locking people

up based on unfounded beliefs and fear.
It's good the courts don't agree with you.

8. Call it whatever you want.

Although I notice that everyone on the 'Freeeedum' side of the debate has nothing other than 'fear' ad homs to toss around constantly. They can't believe that anyone disagrees with them for any reason other than 'feeaaaarrrr', even when told directly it's a matter of public health money and resources.

I call it 'an abundance of caution'. Quarantine 2 nurses, rather than being forced to track and monitor the scores of people with whom they came in contact with between the time they were infected and the time they realized they were ill and checked themselves back in.

At any rate, I'm not going to bother to reply to any more of these comments. You guys have nothing but insults to throw.

9. I am using the words of the courts

you are the one calling it what you will

11. That is not who they tracked, everyone they came in contact with between the time they were infected

and when they showed symptoms. Do you seriously believe that is who was tracked?

The only ones that needed tracking were those who they came in contact with AFTER they became symptomatic and contagious.

10. Hey, start ANY time!

your own personal quarantine will be far more effective than anything else.

Please, lock yourself in your house, cease all communication with the outside world and relieve your panic.

You will feel sooooooooooo much better.

I guess you can watch Faux News for word when your 21 days is up.

[uppityperson]

12. 4-6 days before symptomatic they were NOT CONTAGIOUS. Why would a non-contagious person be feared?

Seriously, come on. By your name you are a nurse and should know better than that.

3. For a second....

I was thinking about making a joke while voting.




But I don't want to go to jail.

4. I like it. Live your fear in your own world and

leave the rest of us alone.
