Keeping in mind that NBC’s Dr. Nancy Snyderman lied about her maintaining self-quarantine protocols and went shopping for her favorite soup…. Keeping in mind that Dr. Craig Spencer lied about his maintaining self-quarantine protocols and went to hang out with friends, eat at restaurants’ and go bowling, and …. Keeping in mind that Thomas Duncan lied about his exposure and risk….. and keeping in mind that every returning military member will be quarantined for 21 days….
The whining and arrogance of this woman really is astounding. Clearly displaying an attitude of petulant selfishness as she says she knows better. Watch:

Here’s another tidbit just released that Thomas Duncan and Criag Spencer have in common – THEY BOTH LIED TO POLICE. I swear if the media keep digging they’ll find out Dr. Spencer left Guinea because he knew he’d been exposed to the virus just like Thomas Duncan.
Spencer only confessed to lying about quarantine AFTER his credit card and metrorail card were checked and he was busted. Until the police checked his credit card data Dr. Spencer was saying he never left his home. Samantha Power demands we call them heroes.
(New York) The city’s first Ebola patient initially lied to authorities about his travels around the city following his return from treating disease victims in Africa, law-enforcement sources said.
Dr. Craig Spencer at first told officials that he isolated himself in his Harlem apartment — and didn’t admit he rode the subways, dined out and went bowling until cops looked at his MetroCard the sources said.
“He told the authorities that he self-quarantined. Detectives then reviewed his credit-card statement and MetroCard and found that he went over here, over there, up and down and all around,” a source said. (more…)
Liberalism on display. Is it any wonder why the vast majority of Americans do not support the selfish protestations of this Democrat?
(Bangor Daily) Attorneys for a nurse released from isolation in New Jersey after returning to the U.S. from West Africa say she will not comply with Maine health officials’ requirements that she remain under quarantine at home for 21 days.
Kaci Hickox, who treated Ebola patients in Sierra Leone and shows no symptoms of the virus, agreed to refrain from going out in public for two days, said Steven Hyman of the New York law firm McLaughlin & Stern. She traveled to Maine on Monday by private car after her release from New Jersey, where she was isolated against her will in a tent outside University Hospital in Newark after she flew into New York on Friday.
“She doesn’t want to agree to continue to be confined to a residence beyond the two days,” Hyman said. (more…)
Trust me, the headline makes more sense than Josh Earnest who has also found a new category, “civilian government“.
Spare yourself a few moments by forwarding the video to @1:30 and watch/listen.
Notes: Why is the media avoiding the obvious?
The Italian government forced Major General Darryl Williams into quarantine, along with his entire staff, yesterday upon his return from Africa. In addition Spain and Germany stated they would force all U.S. military into quarantine on bases in their respective nations. No media has questioned the white House about this yet.
The U.S. Army responded to the Italian, German and Spanish quarantine threat by discussing an overall U.S. Army quarantine as it relates to returning service members.
It appears the entire construct of the Military Quarantine is simply to avoid sunlight on three ally nations who have given President Obama and the U.S. the back of their hand.
Initially we were on the fence about being able to identify her political ideology. Not any longer. She’s a clear cut typical progressive democrat.
The logic she uses to protest against the quarantine identifies her as clearly a Democrat. [Transcription and emphasis mine]
@2:38 “… and no-one knows, no-one can predict if I will develop Ebola or not in the next 21 days. And most aid workers who come back will not develop Ebola. So to quarantine everyone ‘in case’, you know, when you cannot predict who will develop Ebola or not; and to make me stay for 21 days, to not be with my family, to put me through this emotional and physical stress, is completely unacceptable”.
Here comes the planning of a lawsuit against the State of New Jersey. (more…)
(USA TODAY) Aides to President Obama are criticizing decisions by three states to quarantine people who are returning from Ebola-stricken West Africa.
Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and United Nations ambassador Samantha Power said quarantines may discourage health workers from traveling to West Africa to help block the disease at its source. (more…)
UPDATE: Go look at Weasel Zipper’s update to their article on Ebola Nurse CLICK HERE – You Just Can’t Make This Stuff Up.
The possibility she might be a carrier of a deadly virus seems lost amid the grandiose self absorption. Sorry, but that’s the message, albeit perhaps unintended, of her protestations. While the “on-the-fly” operational protocols might lend to hurt feelings and tactics devoid of sensitivity-first approaches, they are a direct consequence of the risk being faced – and a lack of national leadership. The “stompy feet” countering narrative is the wrong approach.
Instead, seek first to understand – then, to be understood.
(Via Dallas News) […] Kaci Hickox – I am a nurse who has just returned to the U.S. after working with Doctors Without Borders in Sierra Leone – an Ebola-affected country. I have been quarantined in New Jersey. This is not a situation I would wish on anyone, and I am scared for those who will follow me.
I am scared about how health care workers will be treated at airports when they declare that they have been fighting Ebola in West Africa. I am scared that, like me, they will arrive and see a frenzy of disorganization, fear and, most frightening, quarantine.
I arrived at the Newark Liberty International Airport around 1 p.m. on Friday, after a grueling two-day journey from Sierra Leone. I walked up to the immigration official at the airport and was greeted with a big smile and a “hello.”
I told him that I have traveled from Sierra Leone and he replied, a little less enthusiastically: “No problem. They are probably going to ask you a few questions.” (more…)
Before measles vaccine, nearly all children got measles by the time they were 15 years of age. Each year in the United States about 450-500 people died because of measles, 48,000 were hospitalized, 7,000 had seizures, and about 1,000 suffered permanent brain damage or deafness. Today there are only about 60 cases a year reported in the United States, and most of these originate outside the country.
Most intellectually honest people will admit US Ebola Patient Zero, Thomas Duncan, left Liberia -and came to the U.S.- knowing he was exposed to Ebola.
Duncan Timeline: Exposed 9/15, caught a flight 9/19, arrived U.S. 9/20, first symptoms 9/24, first symptomatic hospital visit 9/25. (Thomas Duncan created case #2 and case #3, both nurses).
The generally accepted belief (also by Liberian authority) is that Duncan knew of his exposure when he left Liberia. He came to the U.S. just-in-case.
Well, what would it indicate if current Ebola case #4, Dr. Craig Spencer, followed an IDENTICAL timeline? Read on…. (more…)
