    It means what it says, dbag.

    You need to grow a brain and learn reality. You talk about other POVs yet you can only throw out the standard Fox News joke. I don't bother with Fox. I read my news.

    It is telling that you marinate yourself in leftist outlets but tell others to read/watch different sources. O'Reilly? Really??? Guy just blows with the wind. At best center left.

    I have listened and studied the "other side" for four decades. I have to keep tabs on my enemy after all. That said another four decades won't change the fact they're wrong. Logic requires it. Obama and his inep ude proves it. Reality is a stubborn thing, but that won't stop the Utopians from trying. Only bullets will ever do that.
    You are seriously brainwashed. Typical republican or a tea partyist?
    The funny thing is people like you reproduce.

    Pretty authoritarian of you.

    Yep.

    And there is precedent.

    She is not being unduly inconvenienced. Let the State pay her salary even. Whatever. But she should not be allowed to run around infecting people any more than someone with AIDS should...

    I am definitely not a republican. Too bad you can't win with facts. That's what happens when you get educated by the public school system, sadly.

    We will not know until the incubation period is over. She was in the hot zone in direct contact with Ebola patients. Doctors and nurses taking full precautions have been infected. That's all the proof that is needed.


    They need to tell that b---h to stfu and wait until her incubation period is over. Otherwise she will be arrested. By the time a judge lets her out of the gray bar hotel we will know if she is infected or not. Done.
    Wow. Ok that tells me all I need to know. Apparently fear, not scientific evidence is the basis of your argument, therefore it is pointless to keep arguing. I'm just glad we don't live in the kind of military state you clearly want to live in. You should move to North Korea, they are making sure to protect their county from the fear of Ebola.

    And she is not infecting people because the SCIENTIFIC PROOF says she is not contagious.

    There are a lot of uneducated idiots on this forum that think they're more intelligent and more knowledgeable than the scientists who actually do the research.

    So is denying an American of their rights and freedoms. No offense.
    You will see that courts will hold up the quarantines as legal, so your whining that her rights are being violated will be in error as pointed out by the courts. And, I am a big civil liberties guy. But, in these cases, the right of the 330 million outweigh her right to overturn the quarantine, setting the precedent for anyone to violate them in the future when they wish. Do some reading on the resurgence of drug resistant Tuberculosis, for example, and people having to be detained for this same reason. "I feal fine, I am recovered, you can't make me stay in this hospital and keep taking all those pills...I am getting out of here." But, uneducated opinions like yours ("I didn't read the posts...but let me weigh in on staving off armageddon...I got this.") are will what will be our undoing if something like this runs through the country. Also, when you're beaten into submission by the reality of what has happened, and 3 kids at your school, or your daughter's school, etc. will cause you to fall in line and do what should have been done early on to avert it in the first place, which is advocate for isolation. Or, you could send your kid to school to prove a point. However, in communities where this is running rampant, do you think they've closed any schools? Do you think they're over-reacting? Do you want healthcare workers returning from that region just walking around unfettered?

    lol tl;dr your fear-mongering.

    The scientific community is in lockstep with this. She's not a danger. End of story.

    We should quarantine all of you on Election Day, you pose a far greater threat to this country than Ebola nurses.

    Again, do you know how it spread in Africa more than in the US?

    That proves my point exactly. So because I didn't read the posts on Spurs Talk my opinion is uneducated? No, my opinions come, not from the posts of scared people, but from the SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE on Ebola.

    Yep.

    Think about the dude in Dallas. Who got ebola from him? only the nurses taking care of him.

    And that dude was out for a long time.

    Calm down.
    Um, like your point hasn't been addressed as moot. And, there is nothing to calm down about as I'm not excited. Although it is a topic I find interesting. I found it interesting a long time ago, though. I still haven't seen anything that would indicate you understand any of the relevant fields any better than I do, despite the condescension. So, I'll take the condescending, informationless advice with a grain of salt.

    Washing the dead. I still believe we should be able to quarantine some people, but not this nurse.
    All she is doing is getting crazy people pissed at her. I would be afraid of that.

    She's coming from Africa. That's enough for me. I wouldn't even let her back into the states.
    She is coming from Africa where she treated Ebola patients. The level of butthurt over her quarantine is ridiculous.

    Considering the actions you are demanding to take place and telling posters about infected schoolchildren and sending their own children into a purported hot zone, yes, your posts indicate a definite level of excitement.

    And it isnt spreading here. Again with all the screw ups at that Dallas hospital it hasn't spread. Plain and simple. If she were symptomatic and Ebola positive, absolutely quarantine her. But if not, what scientific medical reasons do you have to quarantine her?
    You've been duped into thinking those were screw ups. Those types of screw-ups are what can be referred to as "human error" which will ALWAYS arise and will never be eliminated from the equation. They were being as careful as possible. So was the doctor in NYC when he caught it in Africa.

    And, of course it is spreading here. 4 cases is "spreading" in the history of the disease. Just because you can count them on one hand doesn't negate that. You have no idea what lies ahead, what we know is the incidence in the US has skyrocketed from essentially zero, unless you count some imported monkeys. The fact that they are nosocomial in origin shouldn't be all that surprising. Sick people go to the hospital. The fact that they spread it there flies in the face of your "it's not easy to catch" theory.

    And, furthermore, you don't quarantine people that have just tested positive. That's a ridiculous notion. That is not nor has it ever been the way a quarantine has been defined, rigorously. Quarantines have, in the past, been done as a PRECAUTION. I am going to tell them at the airport to just let my dog into the country because he hasn't tested positive, and quarantines can only be implemented in such cases. I'll give them your number. Dog=\=Human, but the purpose of the quarantine is the same.

    Not about politics for me. Its about science and common sense.
    It's clear to me you don't know much about science, and have refused to read what has been spoon-fed to you, and common sense is so vague to often times be misleading. In this case, for example, you get to describe totally misunderstanding as common sense.

    You should probably read up on why it spreads so much in Africa.

    Hint: they aren't getting it from riding bikes.
    Again, someone that displays little other knowledge about it pretending I don't know about the burial ceremonies. I promise you, the 10k per week projection is not coming from infections burial infections. But, wrap yourself in that superficial understanding if it will keep you warm at night.

    It is anecdotal, but the scientific evidence also tells me it is impossible to catch it of someone is not positive and doesn't have symptoms. She doesn't. If she did, I would say quarantine her.
    That is not what the science tells you, mostly because you don't read any of it, even that which is quoted in this very thread.

    So because I don't read all the posts on a message board I know little about science? Actually, I have read A LOT of material on Ebola. I work in the health care industry, at a clinic, and we have been doing a lot of research on this subject ever since the situation arose in Dallas. I trust the opinions of Doctors and Scientists over those of people on a Spurs message board.

    Again, I have read A LOT about Ebola. I get up to date information at work. And yes, the science does tell me that you can't get it from somone who isn't contagious.

    OK, from where do you promise they are coming?

    Be specific. This is your promise.
