She had retained a lawyer, and a larger pair of shoes for stamping her foot in irritation that the rules apply to her. Maybe Kaci Hickox is in the wrong business.
Let me stop and blow my nose for her. Okay, all set. My empathy for her, as well as the doctor who was out bowling, along with the group that left quarantine to grab some fast food is non existent. I would be very curious to know where Ms. Hickox is employed, that is not a hospital I would want to come anywhere near.
With the fatality rate any where from 25% to 90%-why are these idiots running around to infect the rest of us? You went to help with the crisis. Good on you. Now you want to come back here and spread it around to the rest of us because you can't wait three weeks to knock over some pins or grab a cheeseburger? Seriously? What an incredibly selfish piece of goods.
The idea that these people can just monitor themselves and use some sort of honor code is ridiculous. How do we know that they have any honor? We should trust our own health to their sense of honor? Really? No offense, but three of the stupidest people I have ever known in my life were registered nurses. I don't trust them to find their way home at night, much less to self monitor their health and keep the rest of us from catching their diseases. And now there is a boyfriend that she has been exposed to, so what do we do with him? Does he go into quarantine, or will he attempt to lawyer up and have a legal hissy fit as well?
If there are two sets of rules, who decides who has to follow which set? It seems like a no brainer to me. Have one set of rules for all of us, how about that?
Contrast the special treatment afforded to these health care workers with our Military who are quarantined in Italy. They will spend the entire quarantine there. They will not get to come home and go bowling. They will not get to come home and make a fast food run. They especially won't get to come home and threaten to lawyer up if their
What a pity that someone didn't clue in the health care workers that this would happen. I guess they figured on that other set of rules, maybe.
None of this gives me any faith in our medical system. I didn't have much to start with, then you add in the debacle of socialism we call Obamacare- unless you are a huffy Nancy Pelosi- then you refer to it as Patient Affordability Care Act. And you completely miss the irony.
Who is in charge of these decisions, who is making all of these health care calls? Is it some field tested physician? Is it even a scientist with experience in the field of transmittable diseases? Or is it a long time lobbyist, someone whose major field of expertise is hand jobs to democrats, not necessarily anything medically related? Yeah, that inspires confidence.
Wash your hands, read up on staying safe and avoiding ebola. Think about it, you'll thank me later.
