Give her something to really complain about, make her pay the bill for her 21 quarantine that the rest of us got to pay.

Then charge her with murder if she ends up infecting someone else.

The courts should refuse to hear this crap...toss it right out...While I agree that many of the crap cases that are filed should be tossed out immediately (and sanctions taken against both the plaintiff and the lawyer, most especially the lawyer), I honestly think that there's enough wiggle room in existing case law to make this a relevant case to go forward. I think it will limit more government power, and for me, that's almost always a good thing.
But if you narrow the scope to just this incident? Just toss it out, and send her the bill.

All this comes down to is this, you have freedoms, but even then, the rights of others are worth protecting. Fewer people get deprived of the rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That’s the hard part about freedom, the fact that it actually requires sacrifice to protect. If anything, this nurse should be asking the government to keep her job because she is going by the law, an protecting people in the process. We nee that and not the selfish whining right now.

So she’d rather infect a bunch of people than be responsible and remain in quarantine?

If we didn’t have people so trigger happy with lawsuits, or cops so eager to bust down doors for people who haven’t even resisted arrest, or so many people willing to just seek occasion against somebody, America would be a way better place.

The state will convince courts to dismiss her case based on a “public safety” exception.

I would trust even a New Jersey jury on this one.
Maybe.
