Since Barack Obama stubbornly insists on listening to public - TopicsExpress



          

Since Barack Obama stubbornly insists on listening to public health experts instead of Fox News, it’s become quite clear that wingnuts’ favored non-solution, a ban on travel from West Africa, isn’t going to happen. Happily, a few governors figured out that even if they can’t ban travel, they can impose a quarantine order on people who have been in West Africa, so now it’s time to scoop up people with no Ebola symptoms and isolate them all for 21 days. Turns out the first person swept up in New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s pointless quarantine, nurse Kaci Hickox, objected quite loudly to the idiocy of being quarantined when she’s not sick and can’t infect anyone. Imagine that! She wrote an article for the Dallas Morning News to explain precisely why quarantines of people who have no Ebola symptoms is a terrible idea: not only is it pointless, it will likely do harm since it may scare volunteers away from going to Africa to fight the disease where it truly is an epidemic.
