[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I am noticing is the PP defending Hickox not willing to answer whether or not others have a right to be free from her. Reason being, that's not what Hickox and her defenders are truly after. what they want is to deliver a message and to call others names.  Again the activism is most important to them. Typical[/quote]

Quarantine yourselves.  Your fears are irrational. You don't have the right to limit the civil liberties of healthcare professionals because of your irrational fears. If you are so freaking afraid, lock yourselves in your houses, see no one, and get your groceries delivered. [/quote]

Your last sentence describes the day to day lives of many people in NYC.[/quote]

If the 'fearful' individual chooses to keep away from a potentially infectious person, that's fine. But what Hickox (and you) are doing, is stating that those who choose to stay away from potentially infectious people are (pick your insult or slur). Same tactic used regarding homosexuality. You feel those who choose not to embrace homosexuality the way you do as (choose you insult or slur). Not terribly tolerant at all.

The fact that some of you don't understand the concept of INDIVIDUAL liberty and choice, one of the basic founding principles of this country, is astounding at best. [/quote]
I don't see any insults or slurs in the quoted posts. Saying it's an irrational fear is not an insult. It's irrational because there's no scientific evidence to back it up. [/quote]

Hickox is not sick now and therefore not contageous. Can you tell me, using science, that she won't get sick?  Can you tell me, using science, that if she does get sick, that based on her behavior, she will self-report before she is contagious?  Can you tell me, using science, when she is contagious, and how contagious? Keep in mind that 'when symptomatic' is not science. Science means the point where the viral load is great enough to pass the virus along. Can you assure me, using science, when that is?

Give me the scientific evidence, medically. When you can assure me that every person with ebola will always self-report before they are contagious, you will have made your point.
