   Dirty people who refuse to follow good health measures spread   
   Ebola.  This bitch is one of them.   
      
   FORT KENT, Maine - Kaci Hickox, the nurse released from   
   quarantine in New Jersey after she had returned from treating   
   Ebola patients in West Africa refuses to comply with another 21-   
   day quarantine imposed by Maine officials, her attorney says.   
      
   Hickox, who took care of Ebola victims in Sierra Leone, showed   
   no symptoms of the virus while under quarantine in New Jersey   
   and her protests against being placed under quarantine prompted   
   Gov. Chris Christie to lift it. Hickox, who confined against her   
   will at a New Jersey hospital before traveling home to Fort   
   Kent, Maine.   
      
   The nurse arrived Tuesday at her home after being released from   
   the hospital and is now at an undisclosed location.   
      
   Her attorney Steven Hyman told the Bangor Daily News that she   
   agreed to stay in isolation from the public for two days,   
   despite Maine officials expectations that she remain for the   
   required 21-days imposed on those who have been exposed to the   
   virus.   
      
   "She doesn't want to agree to continue to be confined to a   
   residence beyond the two days," Hyman said.   
      
   Health officials in Maine said Tuesday they're prepared to   
   legally enforce the state's "voluntary" quarantine on health   
   care workers who've treated Ebola patients.   
      
   But civil rights lawyer Norman Siegel, who is also representing   
   Hickox said she would contest any potential court order   
   requiring her to quarantine at home.   
      
   "The conditions that the state of Maine is now requiring Kaci to   
   comply with are unconstitutional and illegal and there is no   
   justification for the state of Maine to infringe on her   
   liberty," he told the Bangor Daily News.   
      
   On Monday, Hickox told CBS News chief medical correspondent Dr.   
   Jon LaPook that chief among her concerns and that of others is   
   the seeming ad-hoc way in which these quarantines have been   
   implemented.   
      
   "When you're talking about doing the quarantine it seems like   
   audibles are being called, it's being done on the fly," LaPook   
   said. "This is something that has to be thought out."

   Okay, is she's going to be irresponsible, stupidly self-   
   centered, and profoundly arrogant about it, assign round the   
   clock police surveillance of her. Monitor where she goes and   
   with whom she comes in contact. It might prove useful in another   
   week or so. ;-)

   As a healthcare profession, she should know better than that and   
   be more responsible.   
      
   What if she leaves her bodily fluid out in public from coughing,   
   sneezing, spitting, crying, etc. and then show symptoms five   
   minutes later?

   healthcare workers are the most at risk to contract Ebola and   
   the effort to identify and track all those that came into to   
   contact with the doctor in NYC - look at the impact on that   
   community of people and businesses - obvious that quarantine is   
   justified to avoid that potential result
