Remember the nurse who claimed her rights were being violated by NJ authorities and threatened to sue over unlawful detention? Well...
"A nurse who treated Ebola patients in West Africa will be quarantined at home for 21 days after the last possible exposure to the disease under Maine's health protocols, health officials said.
The nurse, Kaci Hickox, left a New Jersey hospital on Monday and headed toward home in Fort Kent, where her partner is a University of Maine at Fort Kent nursing student who lives off campus.
Gov. Paul LePage said he understands health care workers' desire to go home after working in West Africa but "we must be vigilant" to protect the health of other people.
"Upon the healthcare workers' return home, we will follow the guidelines set by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control for medical workers who have been in contact with Ebola patients," LePage said in a statement. "Additionally, we will work with the healthcare worker to establish an in-home quarantine protocol to ensure there is no direct contact with other Mainers until the period for potential infection has passed."
He said the state would work to make the nurse "as comfortable as possible."...
"We fully expect individuals to voluntarily comply with an in-home quarantine," LePage spokeswoman Adrienne Bennett said. "If an individual is not compliant, the state is prepared to take appropriate action."
Bennett did not immediately say what "appropriate action" might be."
"Attorneys for a nurse released from isolation in New Jersey after returning to the U.S. from West Africa say she will not comply with Maine health officials’ requirements that she remain under quarantine at home for 21 days...
“She doesn’t want to agree to continue to be confined to a residence beyond the two days,” Hyman said.
Maine health officials have said they expect Hickox to agree to be quarantined at her home until 21 days have passed since her last potential exposure to the virus. Twenty-one days is the maximum incubation period for the Ebola virus...
Early Tuesday evening, Maine Department of Health and Human Services Commissioner Mary Mayhew noted at a hastily called news conference that the state has the authority to seek a court order to compel quarantine for individuals deemed a public health risk.
She did not address Hickox’s case directly, saying the state has not filed a court order.
Another attorney representing Hickox, New York civil rights lawyer Norman Siegel, said she would contest any potential court order requiring her quarantine at home.
“The conditions that the state of Maine is now requiring Kaci to comply with are unconstitutional and illegal and there is no justification for the state of Maine to infringe on her liberty,” he said."
This is very nice: "“She understands the nature of the disease, she treated it,” Hyman said. “She understands the nature of the risk.”
The supremacy of an individual's rights is at stake here. This is the petard created by the Left and their entire genre of one's rights. From free birth control to spreading an infection these are the rights today's Libs want to fight for.
The idiocy of the Left includes such great concepts as hate crimes and amoral sexuality.
Being murdered in a hate crime is so much worse than being murdered for another's personal gain, is it not?

you could tell she had an awful attitude, like "Do you know who I am?"
