“I read that some health organizations say the ebola quarantine should be 40 days, not 21. It can infect beyond the 21 day period.”
I was going to point this out but you beat me to it
I think it’s premature to declare these folks as “Ebola-free” but what do I know?? I don’t have a gov job so I’m just some random dumbass w/ a master’s in nursing
It will be slightly embarrassing if some of these people become symptomatic in a couple of weeks, huh?
They were pretty much over the hump at 10 days. Duncan's incubation period was about 8 or 9. The odds are now so low in this particular case that it is counterproductive to pretend otherwise. The proper focus is the 150 new potentially infected persons coming in each day, not these people or people who rode on a plane or a cruise ship. That is all close to zero probability stuff.
You have a lot more experience than Obama's pick for Ebola Czar. A niece just became a registered nurse earlier this year, maybe bad timing what with ebola becoming an issue. She certainly has more experience than the Ebola Czar (and she's retired Navy so she has military experience).
