How in the world can a modern-trained physician/healthcare worker misinterpret a period of quarantine as nothing more than a rational public health measure, under these circumstances?

The public is not being served well by feeding them this pablum: let us not quarantine because we may inconvenience someone or make them feel bad about themselves.

If a health care professional is motivated enough to travel to the endemic area and serve in that capacity, they should be motivated enough to help prevent the spread of the infection beyond the current borders.

Officials of the CDC are more interested in massaging self-esteem, in a time when serious actions and measures need be taken to prevent a spread of the Ebola infection in the US.

There is nothing more simplistic than containment and prevention.

Extracting verbal commitments is an irrational and poorly planned method of containment.

There is also conceit on the part of Nurse Hickox to consider suing because she was inconvenienced.

I fail to understand what is so difficult about being quarantined after coming back from caring for Ebola patients. After all, as health care workers we essentially promise to do nothing harmful to others including potentially infecting them with a deadly disease. I wouldn't want to possibly transmit it to my worst enemy, much less my family and friends......or strangers!
