#13  Kaci Hickox, the nurse who was quarantined at a New Jersey hospital despite exhibiting no Ebola symptoms after arriving from West Africa - Fact

Incorrect. She was quarantined after showing a fever at the airport. Treated Ebola patients + fever is cause for concern, especially given the number of health care professionals who have contracted the disease in spite of protective measures,

According to one African doctor's records, about 12% of his Ebola patients, including those that died, never showed any sign of fever. See #11 for additional info on being "symptom free".

#12  Can't miss you if you won't go away. So please do.

#11  Consider the doctor that just died from Ebola, he didn't test positive until a few days before he died and after he was already showing symptoms.
Selfish c*nt is right! Remember we can't spell C*NT without U!

#9  A month is a short time. She should have viewed it as a vacation.

#8  Could she be a carrier with no symptoms? At least her attitude seems to be quite toxic.

If I was working in the center of the epidemic, I would volunteer to be quarantined for a solid month. In Kaci's case, her hungry ego got the best of her.
