The judges decision sure sounds like a restriction on her movement, only not confined to house but a wider area.
How does this get reported as a lose for quarantine advocates.
(Sorry, I know it's dinner time.)
the governor should appeal but sounds like he is wimping out. kaci is a selfish b - all the good she did in sierra leone is being wiped out by her current quest to let high risk individuals roam the streets
Who is Judge Charles C. LaVerdiere?
Maybe she's not feeling so well that she took this sooooo gallantly.....besides being "dressed" by her attorney.
Yes, the judge is a Dem...former member of the House in Maine. Nuf said.........
The judge doesn’t have any choice.
Judge is a Dem...former member of the House in Maine.
Because it's not a quarantine. Or really even a restriction on her movements. The order is available here. The order only requires Hickox to do three things:
1. Participate in and cooperate with "Direct Active Monitoring," as that term is defined by the United States Centers for Disease Control in its October 29, 2014 [guidance];
2. Coordinate her travel with public health authorities to ensure uninterrupted Direct Active Monitoring; and
3. Immediately notify public health authorities and follow their directions if any symptom appears.
This is a loss for quarantine advocates (and a win for Hickox), because these rules are consistent with (and do not go beyond) the CDC guidance for people in Hickox's risk class, and Hickox had already agreed to abide by the CDC rules.
Someone aught to throw her a party...a good old fashioned GI blanket party.
YIKES!
Well, a quarantine restricts her movement. The judge's order does not.
Have her wear a special 6 foot-wide “hoop skirt” and a sign with a large red capital ‘E’ …
..but local health authorities can’t understand what you are saying if you are no more than 3 ft away from them....which nicely explains why so many African health authorities are now victims of ebola.
Evidently the only public officials needed are judges. Let’s just appoint more of them and forget all this voting stuff.
That's what I wrote in May on Pennsylvania Primary Election Day when a Federal Judge made gaysbian "marriage" the law in the Keystone State.
What happened to the Authority of the Public Health Officer, they are usually the ones that can make these kind of decisions?????????
Thank you for the clarification.
