Quite frankly, it reminds me of those who had a world class hissy fit when San Francisco tried to close bathhouses that were the center of the AIDS epidemic in the early 1980s. With friends like them, who needs enemies?Bike Bubbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08193546045614393425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26981669.post-72129296530140723402014-10-27T09:35:18.820-05:002014-10-27T09:35:18.820-05:00Nevermind: NJ nurse quarantined under Ebola watch ...Nevermind: <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/10/27/new-york-gov-cuomo-loosens-ebola-quarantine-restrictions-after-criticism/" rel="nofollow">NJ nurse quarantined under Ebola watch cleared by CDC to go home</a>Jim Peethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649414726939918803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26981669.post-91120231834965994392014-10-26T18:31:39.347-05:002014-10-26T18:31:39.347-05:00More: The Incredibility Infection - The White Hous...More: <a href="http://online.wsj.com/articles/the-incredibility-infection-1414365946" rel="nofollow">The Incredibility Infection - The White House objects to the state quarantines its own failures invited</a>:<br /><br /><i>... the Obama Administration is pressuring the Governors of New York and New Jersey behind the scenes to reverse their decision on Friday to impose a mandatory quarantine on health workers returning from treating Ebola patients in West Africa. Well, if it weren’t for the Administration’s incompetence in handling Ebola risks on U.S. soil, maybe the state leaders wouldn’t have felt they had to take matters into their own hands.<br /><br />...<br />The real problem is that the CDC, the World Health Organization, the Health and Human Services Department and the White House have all given ample reason not to trust their assurances. They said the chance of an Ebola case in the U.S. was remote. They said airport screeners would catch anyone sick trying to enter. They said U.S. hospitals were prepared for such cases, and that doctors and nurses would be protected. And they said self-quarantines would prevent new cases.</i>Jim Peethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649414726939918803noreply@blogger.com
