The defiant Maine nurse who made headlines for openly disobeying New Jersey- and Maine-ordered quarantines upon her return from West Africa admitted Sunday that her 'community has been through a lot.' But she refuses to apologize for her battle, accusing Gov. Chris Christie again of mistaking 'an abundance of caution' for 'an abundance of politics.'

The defiant Maine nurse who has aggressively fought her government-ordered quarantine, has finally softened her tone.

Days after a Maine judge rejected the state's attempt to keep Kaci Hickox quarantined, the freewheeling caregiver admitted she'll take precautionary steps to appease federal and state medical officials and concerned members of her community.

"I understand that the community has been through a lot in the past week," Hickox said Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press." "And I do apologize to them for that. I will not go into town into crowded, public places."

Nevertheless, Hickox, 33, whose public battle against officials was triggered after she was placed under mandatory quarantine in New Jersey upon her return from West Africa by Gov. Chris Christie, remained critical of the policies that resulted in her isolation in the first place....

She should be refused treatment if she comes down with Ebola. After all, she has already demonstrated she won't follow protocol.

Good questions. There isn’t much to do up in Ft. Kent. I wonder if her CDC gig is complete.

I'm guessing her biggest problem with Governor Christie is the (R) after his name. The same with the Maine governor.

Yes, this is all about Christie, not e-bola. The timing is supposed to just be a coincidence.

I also think CDC told her to shut the hell up.

Yes, she might not have a job to go back to if she keeps this up. Or her "community" is her bf's neighbors might have given her the what for.

Yup. She defied quarantine because it was political for her, the public health be damned.

I went to twitter to see the latest on Ebola. Up pops a comment about #alexfromtarget spreading faster than Ebola.

Some poor dude is just doing his job and in a few hours has over 400k tweets about him.

Social media is a hoot..poor boy.

We have a winner . . . selfish/arrogant/narcissistic little horse’s backside. Hope she enjoys being less employable and rejected by her neighbors.
