As a scientist in the health person, if i were asked i would not have recommended that. Does it put more pressure on the cdc to change these policies . Cdc will continue to make their policy based on scientific data. That does not mean that they are cavalier about this. There are Different Levels of risk to a Healthcare Worker and there are Different Levels of monitoring.

Governor christie yesterday on fox news sunday. Mandatory ebola quarantine necessary for Healthcare Workers returning from the countries in west africa . Your thoughts. Hi, i would like to say that i am an antisemite and i do not like jewish people. What are you saying . Im an antisemite lets go to valerie. Yes, i think we are panicking. We need to do is find out ebola patients, why they are being affected. It makes no sense for so many people to be affected at one time. We need to stop bullying our Healthcare Workers. And the other point i want to make is this. To use common sense and we need to go back to basics. Advice on the side with our we need to do ebola people we need to give a strong dose of tea. It helps the intestinal part of it. Go back to comment that you need to stop bullying Healthcare Workers. What you mean about that . If a Healthcare Worker has not been tested positive, she should be allowed to be at home. You cannot put a woman in a toilet here she uses a and a bed with body odor buildup. Treat people with dignity. I am not trying to instill fear rest of the population because that is what we are doing. Fight it in africa, we are going to have to in the United States because were so close minded and narrowminded recently. It will not get any better and less rework together. Nurse, kerry hickox, had an oped yesterday. She has several degrees and that im a nurse wrote that im a nurse and i have been quarantined in new jersey. This is not a situation i would wish on anyone. I am scared about those who follow me. Im scared about how Healthcare Workers will be treated in airports. Im scared that, like me, they a frenzy of see disorganization, fear, and quarantine. I arrived at the airport at 1 00 pm on friday after a grueling twoday journey. I walked up to immigration and smile eeted with a big and a hello. Arrive from hat i sierra leone, and he said, no problem, we are going to ask you a few questions. A little piece from the nurse. Heres matt. Matt, your thoughts on the changes that are apparently happening in the unix system. Of i think it is a system hysteria and selfcenteredness that we americans are shortsighted. We have totally given up and given into a motions. Duncans family lived with him in his own y days, home while he was sick and already beginning to vomit. And none of them got sick. Now everyone thinks they are to get ebola from sitting next to someone on a subway. That is not going to happen. To listen to doctors and tell these politicians that they need to observe. Otherwise this country is just going to go down. On our s fred independent line. That we are amazed not aware of the potential plague with ebola. Chefs he knows that the illness can spread very rapidly. If we do not put some sort of quarantine to place, we will this to go untreated and out of control. It is now spreading to our country. She should be speaking on the procedures that would follow. Develop a help to better policy. Think it is fair . It sounded like from her oped was taken by surprise. A grueling unt, twoday journey. The quarantine was issued late in the week by new jersey. It fair for her to be a little taken by surprise . Of course. Because there are no procedures in place and this time. To the united w states. She should feel threatened is what theyre doing to her a little bit extreme . No. Either in llnesses this country . If she had rabies or they would s, quarantine her. From ts read a little bit this article ebola quarantines can be spent at home. A new york ains at hospital. They are facing fierce house ance from the white and medical expertsdistricts new medical quarantine policy. The governor said on sunday night that Healthcare Workers contact with ebola africa and did t symptoms of the disease would be allowed to stay at home and receive compensation. Also asked bama other governors and mayor to policies based on science. Announcement by mr. Cuomo draw a sharp contrast both in tone and it back to the implemented in new jersey, where a nurse was quarantined with a portable toilet and no shower. In icture of casey hickox that isolation tent at that University Hospital in new jersey. You think , bob, what about this . It doesnt seem like it is a cessarily opposed what democrat would think, but, you know, i think it should be part of the deal. If youre going to be gracious your time volunteer and energy and health to go in you know work africa on ebola, you should be gracious enough to understand that when you come back there be some mandatory quarantine. Enough uld be gracious to submit to the 3 to 4 week sure that you are that should be part of the process. You come back, you know that you are not going to be into your life you put your life on hold to go over there that sounds like medical workers, at least, coming from the United States are aware of that. It doesnt seem like the nurse was caught surprised by this. You know i dont really any sympathy for her an extra few t weeks to make sure that the us are safe here. The man who came back from the doctors in new york, i am really outraged by this. Im feeling outraged by you you for your service, but should he have done . Youre talking about dr. Spencer, right . Fan of not a big governor christie, but i do not think you can depend on people to self quarantine. This dr. His personal social to go out need and his fiancee superseded any knowledge that this mentor skin back from a hot spot of this man just came back from a hot spot of health danger. Thank you for the call. A couple of tweets. The first one here this one hard one to call. And this one says these mandatory ebola quarantines for Healthcare Workers necessary . York, our states new new jersey, florida, and illinois. 202 5853880 democrats 202 5853881 republicans 202 5853882 independents heres the republican line. Kimberly, hello. Good morning. Have been a cna and i know that nurses are going about being in isolation. If she would take two seconds isolation ndma in mrsa, it doesnt make sense. Theyre not doing what is in interest of the country. It is too dangerous. Do think there should be a unified, federal response . Government federal mandate a quarantine . Because now we have the four states taking some initiative here. Good theyre supposed to protect the whole country. Thank you for your call. Look inside usa today, an opinion piece that sending doctors is a bigger evil a risk. In the ite that patients advanced stages are patients the sick and up in the hospital. In countries, such as liberia, most of us turn away from people that are sick. Spencer didnt by helping to control the disease in africa. Spencer helps protect americans. Outbreak in bola africa gets, the greater the risk it spreads worldwide. If we pull a little wider, it the pentagon is doing in terms of its ability to move ebola patients. Were sending some 4000 military personnel to west africa. Builds units to move west africa. It would move some 8 to 10 patients at a time. Be aboard transport planes. The democrats line. Welcome. Good morning. Good morning. I think i think they need rely on the science. The doctors were familiar with the virus. Doctors ont trust the to tell you what is best for assigned to this ebola. Hiv, everybody bola that is different. Thank you. Susan on the democrats line. I do think that we do need to quarantine some people. There are doctors and nurses are doing a Great Service for us over there. Then there are our soldiers were going over there. Hopefully we can get this i ntained over in africa, but do not agree. Sticking someone and stand is ridiculous. Again, some pressure from the white house is causing some governors to back off. Governor cuomo saying that some of the quarantines will be spent at home. The Washington Post writes that the white house plans to for unce guidelines returning Healthcare Workers to imported cases of ebola, while encouraging volunteers to come back. Adding that the white house would consult with new federal policies on sunday. President obama convened his health and security advisers and directing them to create policies that would help mitigate the risk of ebola in the United States. Chuck hagel, John Sylvia Matthews burwell who guides the president on considerations for new measures for returning Healthcare Workers. Joey is an florida, where there is some limited monitoring of returning workers. Joey, what you think of this mandatory quarantine . I am kind of divided. Like it is ng but in reality you have to be in contact with blood, i get it so they were hazmat and other protection. And still they got sick. Here in dallas am beginning to wonder if a person that died from west im beginning to wonder what care he had. The hospital sent him home, should m pills like you walk it off. You do not have obama care, who cares . On the independents line. Snow absolutely agree, the should be quarantined. The United States is about making sure that individuals safety is protected. This young lady understands the risk associated with being in the country. In fact, coming home and being quarantined to not be a problem for her. Understanding, again, that we a lot of facing issues with this disease that we have not yet fully come beheaded. With that in mind, this could be something else. We do not know for sure what it exactly to do. They quarantined for 21 days or 25 days, you know, when you compare that to a lifetime, that is a short amount of time. Coupled with the fact that so life to be s changed just by keeping her in isolation. Should that they actually be quarantining the nurses and doctors that are short period or a of time let me ask you, is that a state or federal role . I think from a federal level. Is going to be just torn with politics. Obviously, there is a lot of here for the line different politicians and everyone has an agenda, but from the state level, each state should be able to make its own decision regarding the welfare of the people. End of the day, i still think there should be a quarantine for these individuals. Now, there could be some type of incentive given to them if and come back as be e, then you will quarantined, and, obviously, all the costs associated with that would be picked up at the government. If the federal government chooses the policy, then they would do it. More thing i want to mention if the airlines are still planning to fight these individuals from these countries to the us, then the airline should be responsible picking up any cost with delivering any people back to have d states who may potentially become exposed to ebola. All those cost should be on the airlines. Thank you for your opinion. A couple tweets, this one refers back to a previous caller. Think that voluntary quarantine for anyone returning from the area would be sufficient. Making a political is not. To maryland, this is willie. Go ahead. Hello. Face patients with mrsa under quarantine, but that is with a positive result. If this woman tested negative, it is the same f protection she tested positive. What do you mean . Did she indicate did she elevated temperature, for example . In elevated temperature, but she did not test positive. Right. An absence of a positive test, i dont know her in quarantine. York easing up again, saying that some of the quarantine can be spent at home. In versaille, kentucky. To answer your question, quarantine ory should be absolutely required. People ors and the accompanying them if you hold the ball in your hand and you let go of it, it will fall to the floor. This has been here for 30 years. Okay. As a federal or state issue . The federal government has done nothing. Thank you, mark, for the call. Donna is on our democrats line. Good morning. Hello. Good morning. I just want to say that this is more dumbing down of america. If we do not have these doctors to go over there, that is really going to make this thing much, much worse. It will come here and it will spread like crazy. You know, what more do we expect from these people. They go over there and they are helping. Then they come home and they are treated like this . This is just it is just ridiculous. You know, science, people you cannot get it if the person does not have symptoms. The front page pit science versus politics. The article says that the state leaders and congressional lawmakers faced fearful public insist that they have to take cautions that go beyond symptoms. Some of them face reelection tighter after some governors establish quarantine orders. New york lessened its restrictions on sunday night. Florida ordered a 21 day for anyone who returns caller i worked in Public Health for 15 years in idaho. We had three outbreaks up here. I contracted whooping cough. Actually had me quarantined for five days. I was on medication. There are guidelines for this. When we were doing travel immunizations, if you refused certain immunizations flying countries, you were not allowed to fly back until they got their vaccines in that country. They might have to wait three or four weeks. At theed to take a look guidelines. I cant wait to hear what the cdc has come up with. Ebola is something we have never seen in the United States. We need to look at each Infectious Disease and come up with a protocall protocol. You are in quarantine for five days. What do you think of the reaction of this nurse who is quarantined which he came off the plane in new jersey over the weekend . Me, i would agree with being quarantined. I dont want to put the public at risk. Thanks for your call. A 14. O campaign it is eight days until the election. Candaceke a look at the Kansas Senate race. Us. E, thank you for joining gregok at the race between orman and pat roberts did where do things stand . Race. It is a very close the latest polls that we are looking at suggest that orman might have a lead of a point or two. That is within the margin of error in these polls. This is a very tight race. There is no question about it. Robertsst week, the campaign brought in the big guns. They brought in mitt romney. Who else has come in to campaign for the center . Guest about half of the u. S. Senate has been out here to campaign for pat roberts. John mccain has been here. Rand paul, ted cruz. Ne senator after another tom coburn from oklahoma has been here. You mentioned mitt romney, he the kansas city area suburb on the kansas side. I think he will draw a pretty good crowd of. He is a big name in american politics. That is why send the roberts is bringing him out here. It will be fun to see what happens. Host that will be a get out the vote effort. Rman is an independent who does he rely on . The Democratic Party is not there for him. Guest that is one of the Big Questions that surrounds this campaign. Who does he count on to get the vote out . He doesnt have very much get out the vote effort in the traditional sense that we judge these things by. He is an independent. Are wanting to help him. They dont want to be caught and tie him orman to the Democratic Party. That has been one of the big arguments throughout the campaign from the roberts side. Has beenays that orman hiding behind the cloak of an
