From the NYT:
Ms. Hickox’s treatment in New Jersey drew withering criticism from both public health officials and the nurse herself.
Ms. Hickox called her treatment inhumane and castigated Mr. Christie for saying she was “obviously ill” when she displayed no symptoms of Ebola.
The policy announced on Friday in New York and New Jersey raised concerns that quarantine might cause fewer people to volunteer to go fight the disease where they are needed most. On Sunday night, Mr. Cuomo offered more details about how the policy would work, easing off his earlier statements.
Ms. Hickox has said that she was planning to take legal action to challenge her confinement and spoke out forcefully about how she had been treated.
Frustrated that she was quarantined, even though she had no symptoms, Ms. Hickox took to national television on Sunday to criticize Mr. Christie about the policy.
Ms. Hickox’s friends and family were not surprised that she decided to speak up.
“She’s not a loudmouth activist,” said Dr. Nora Rowley, a classmate at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. “But she understands the contagiousness of the virus, and now she has to come back and be subjected to a policy that’s not based on anything other than fear.”
Her boyfriend, Ted Wilbur, a nursing student in Fort Kent, Me., said she had not planned on speaking to the news media but changed her mind after Mr. Christie said on Saturday that she was “obviously ill” when she knew she was not.
“Now he’s messed with the wrong redhead,” he said of her frame of mind.
Sue the hell out of him, Red!
Chris Christie is a fool and he will never be a president. Perhaps President of Krispy Kreme? Maybe Mitt Romney will buy it for him. Keep on shoveling the sugar, Governor.
