Where were we?
All right. So there's some debate about whether there should be an involuntary quarantine for people who arrive, for medical workers who arrive back in the States after having been in West Africa helping with Ebola over there. Mm-hmm. And a woman, Casey Hickok, a nurse who was placed under mandatory quarantine in New Jersey, she went on CNN and she was very upset about what she calls the knee-jerk reaction by politicians to quarantine someone without a better plan in place, without more forethought. It's just preposterous. And she feels like her human rights have been violated. She's tested negative for Ebola two or three times. She has no symptoms. But she was still put immediately in a tent and wasn't allowed to talk to a lawyer, to
Not allowed to have her luggage. She was given paper scrubs to wear. She said she had no shower, no flushable toilet. And the hospital gave her no television or reading material.
Oh, now, wait a minute. This is where I step in. No fucking cable. Oh, no. I'm sorry. You don't do that to another American. I'll sit around in a paper mache dress and take a shit into a bucket. But I got to have some cable.
The hospital said the patient has computer access, use of her cell phone, reading material, magazines, newspapers as requested and has received takeout food and drink. And then she said the tent has a window and doctors talk to her in normal clothes from outside the window. So there's no risk to them talking to me outside the window. It doesn't make any sense that my lawyer wouldn't be able to do the same.
Look, she's caught up. Here's the problem. First off, people that have been infected have been on flights and no one on the flight got whatever it is. So I don't I'm not that worried about it. On the other hand, nobody wants to be the one who said, oh, you're cool. Go on the cruise or hit the mall or go to Epcot Center and then have a breakouts. So that can't happen on anyone's watch. So everyone just has to be basically like a lawyer who works for a network who just goes, no, you can't say that. You can't do that. You can't use that because there is no reward. No one finds the person and goes, who let that person go about their life? They should get an award because that person wasn't did not never spread it.
But if you do spread it, that person will be fired.
It's sort of it's it's become a conflict between politicians and the medical community and the disease community because the nation's top infectious disease expert is warning that if you do this, if you do this mandatory 21 day quarantine, which is unnecessary. you're going to discourage volunteers from traveling to the danger zone. But then politicians, especially Chris Christie has been very vocal about this, are like, we can't take any chances. So he gave a news conference Saturday. He said, I'm sorry if in any way she, the nurse, was inconvenienced, but inconvenience that could occur from having folks that are symptomatic and ill out amongst the public is a much, much greater concern of mine.
I hope she recovers quickly. And then she said she has nothing to recover from. She's fine.
What are the implications of quarantining medical workers returning from Ebola-affected areas?
Her temperature is normal. There's nothing wrong with her.
He's the... He's just the greatest guy to ingest almost no knowledge before making statements.
