I agree they have no legal grounds to hold her. It's her activist behavior that's making her a pariah. Combine that with [b]the NYC doc lying[/b], and people see the behavior as selfish and uncaring.  There are the legal issues, and the moral ones. What is she going to do next - sue people who are mean to her? Who reject her?  Will she demand a support group?  [/quote]

The Doctor in New York didn't lie:

"New York City's health department said a doctor being treated for Ebola "cooperated fully" with officials, dismissing a report that he initially lied about his movements."
[/quote]

If you read the whole article, there is this:
[quote]Asked about the report, Health Department spokeswoman Veronica Lewin said: "Dr. Spencer cooperated fully with the Health Department to establish a timeline of his movements in the days following his return to New York from Guinea, providing his MetroCard, credit cards and cellphone."

"[b]He followed protocol by contacting his employer immediately upon developing fever and remained in his apartment until being transported to the hospital[/b], which is why the chance anyone else contracted Ebola is extremely small. Dr. Spencer is a hero who deserves our thanks and thoughts for a speedy recovery," Lewin said in an email statement to CNBC.

When CNBC asked again if Spencer had at first lied to authorities or otherwise mislead them about his movements in the city, Lewin replied: "Please refer to the statement I just sent. As this states, Dr. Spencer cooperated fully with the Health Department."[/quote]

Sounds like a “dodge” to me.  Sure, he is cooperating as we would expect him to.  But, it seems that he could have been less than truthful about his movement BEFORE contacting his employer.  The health dept. spokesperson dodged the question.  [/quote]
