[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didnt Hickox test free of the Ebola virus? I thought I read that.[/quote]

The test will be negative until the level of virus in the body rises enough to be detected. Most people become sick within the 21 days. Some have gone 40 days past exposure before the virus has replicated enough to be detected. So one negative test doesn't mean the person is not going to become sick in a few days.

[b]This is why the public wants travel restrictions for all nonessential persons in the region and/or a pause on issuing new visas from the region.[/b] A person can fly in free of fever, then become sick weeks after.

But with Hickox being the wagging dog, we've shifted to arguing the history and legality of quarantine instead of continuing to ask why these visas are being granted and which city will be host to the next Duncan.[/quote]

This is why conservatives and FOX News wants a travel ban, not the general public. The general public doesn't piss its pants quite as quickly as conservatives do. [/quote]
