[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Quarantine is not recommended. What he did was prudent. [/quote]

BS. His actions caused panic and expense. He could have stayed home.

Has any media asked Hickox why she is so adamant? Her first complaints were that the tent was cold and she couldn't charge her phone. So the compromise is, she finishes quarantine at home in Maine. Residents of the town want her out-- they made a FB page about this. WHY is at-home not good enough? Why the me, me, me? Something is off about her.[/quote]

Agree - [b]she's wierdly defiant about something that seems like basic common sense.  [/b]Yes, of course, until symptoms appear, a person isn't contagious.  But what is to say that a person couldn't be out and about or traveling or in a public space like a school or public transport, and begin to show symptoms.  The chances are small, perhaps, but this is nonetheless a possibility.

I wouldn't want to think for a second that I'd infected anyone with a potentially deadly disease and if I were in her shoes I'd undertake a quarantine in a heartbeat.  Cannot imagine why these health care workers are so cavalier. [/quote]

Common sense isn't right.  The evidence doesn't support quarantine or even screening for these professionals.  It's just security theater to make you feel better. It doesn't do anything and it puts a substantial burden on the profession. [/quote]
