[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of you arguing about civil liberties - I don't think there's a single judge in this nation that would not uphold Maine's right to impose a 21 day home quarantine on a returning Ebola health care worker. Not a chance. I don't see this as even a close issue. We just don't have civil liberties fundamentalists on the bench anymore; and even if we do, this is a case where the due process concerns clearly weigh in favor of the state. If someone has another interpretation based on review of actual quarantine caselaw, I'd like to see it.  [/quote]

She is less contagious that a lot of people with HIV spreading it around. The judges need to read biology. [/quote]

Totally different case. There is a highly rational reason to believe that she will contract a highly contagious (MUCH more contagious than HIV, and much more deadly) disease during the quarantine period. [/quote]

Not so, it is unlikely that she contracted it. Even if she develops ebola, right now she is not contagious. 
HIV was 99% fatal before treatment. There were people running around intentionally infecting people and we did not quarantine. All they had to say was "whoops, I did not know I had it, gosh!" 
Ebola is not as lethal, so far in the US, only 1 person has died from it. [/quote]
