Obama should rent a first class Hotel

33. I'm a former critical care nurse. They need to be quarantined for public safety.

Three weeks out of their lives at home or at a designated center is a small price to pay to ensure that no virus particles end up in public areas, because while doctors and nurses fully understand what they undertake in dealing voluntarily with ebola patients, and are on the lookout for their own health, ordinary citizens are completely unaware and thus can't protect themselves or their families adequately should they encounter the virus--and if you are Amber Vinson sitting on a plane, "self-monitoring" is moot--everyone is trapped and so is she if she suddenly gets airsick while also febrile with developing ebola. It is unlikely that anyone would get infected from these people, but unlikely is not impossible, and the danger is that the victim will not know he or she has ebola, nor will family and coworkers and dentists, etc. and then we've got a REAL PUBLIC HEALTH PROBLEM. The needs of the many, in this case, absolutely outweigh the INCONVENIENCE of the few. And I will point out again--a quarantine on incoming Liberian citizens, or at least some sort of minimal CDC engagement and supervision, would have saved millions of dollars, lots and lots of trouble and illness, and probably saved Duncan's life, as the CDC would have whisked him to Emory or Nebraska right away to begin treatment. Sorry, no one will change my mind on the necessity of quarantine, this isn't the flu but it also isn't HIV.
