She’s had blood tests already that show her free of the virus. This is nothing more than fear based media politics. Despite being self centered, good for her for standing up to power in the name of reason.

You’re right, of course. But I’m afraid you’re fighting a losing battle around here - “fear based media politics” have taken hold.

I fear we are in the minority...but I agree with you. And how stupid does the media look following someone taking a bike ride in rural Maine?

Nonsense if our military have to endure a mandatory quarantine for 21 days (no exceptions) so should this prima donna.

I agree wholeheartedly. This whole Ebola panic is nothing more than media fear mongering at its worst.

Negative tests aren’t conclusive for absence of infection in the early stages following exposure. They turn positive toward the end of the incubation period when, usually, other signs of disease are becoming manifest. Your assertion is at best half-baked.

You do know that in the early stages of the disease false negatives on the blood test are common, don't you?

It takes time for the virus to build up to levels the test can reliably detect.

The Maine CDC has suggested that Hickox was tested too early and that any markers indicating that she has Ebola wouldn't have had time to show up yet in a blood test.

Don 't forget, originally, she was put in quarantine because she had a fever. She claimed it was because she was angry about being isolated and checked out. People trying to sneak into this country from hot zones have been known to take Tylenol and Ibuprofen to reduce fever.
