Whoa, NBC Medical Correspondent Nancy Snyderman violated her Ebola quarantine (she was in Africa with the cameraman who got it) here in Princeton -- (link) - decline Oct 14, 10:36 30
- [deleted] 13
  - Seriously. How she can play Russian roulette with people's lives like that is beyond comprehension. -- nm - Loyola Oct 14, 11:01 12
    - the truth is, after this much time, she probably knows the chances of her having it are super-remote, HOWEVER, you are a *medical correspondent on tv* - Andie Oct 14, 11:04 11
      - I don't know. Quarantine is there for a reason. She is a festering sore to have endangered others like that. Osama would be proud of her. - Loyola Oct 14, 11:15 1
        
        There are several reasons, but "she's infectious" isn't one of them. -- nm - mara Oct 14, 11:22

        i am not saying she should have gone out, just that the threat is crazy-low. but she, of all people, should know better. -- nm - Andie Oct 14, 11:09 5
        
        she's on TV she knows all about " perception" -- nm - Epiphany Oct 14, 11:12 3
        
        Thank goodness she didn't go to a walmart. Panic in the streets! -- nm - Beryllium Oct 14, 11:12 2
        
        LOL - I doubt she'd ever set foot in a Wal mart though -- nm - Epiphany Oct 14, 11:14 1
        
        only because there weren't any where she's lived. she started off on tv in the bay area and was a really normal-type - b. Oct 14, 11:49
        
        I agree. -- nm - mara Oct 14, 11:11

  - This made me laugh. -- nm - mara Oct 14, 10:59 4
    - It is applicable in many situations :) -- nm - oblique Oct 14, 11:06 3
      - But what if it gets out of control, and I start using it in every situation? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 14, 11:06 2
        
        Then I'm moving to Montana -- nm - oblique Oct 14, 11:07 1

    - good question..... possible public endangerment? -- nm - Remlik Oct 14, 10:47 3
      - she'll be prosecuted if she violates it now. Mandatory. -- nm - loosi in the sky with diamonds Oct 14, 10:49
      - Nuke her. -- nm - Loyola Oct 14, 10:49 1

  - Translation: All the new shows :) -- nm - oblique Oct 14, 10:36 4
    - except ... Scorpion, Murder, etc -- nm - loosi in the sky with diamonds Oct 14, 10:45 2
      - It's CBS. Hell, they'll be promoting episodes for </scorpion> all through the NCAA basketball tournament. -- nm - Were-Baron Oct 14, 11:00
      - I'd watch "Murder, etc" -- nm - Beryllium Oct 14, 10:52
    - no big loss. -- nm - znufrii Oct 14, 10:36
