Flu is airborne and very contagious. There is absolutely no comparison. -- nm - loosi at home Oct 30, 07:22
I see where he is going. I've posted my own self about Ebola being blown out of proportion compared to deaths from the flu - Beaker Oct 30, 07:20

    - prosecution is fine, but you still have someone with HIV that should not have it. - groiny Oct 30, 07:32 2

        HILARIOUS! -- nm - groiny Oct 30, 07:38

    - but the HIV quarantine would have been froever, the Ebola one is 21 days -- nm - Beaker Oct 30, 07:27 1

  - If they are showing no symptoms, it is in our best interest to fight to NOT have them quarantined. - ty97 Oct 30, 07:26
  - It's unnecessary and deters caretakers from doing vital work that is badly needed to contain the disease. - loosi at home Oct 30, 07:25 13
    - I don't think it unnecessary and we can agree to disagree - Pippy of the Damned Oct 30, 07:28 12
      - But why do you you think it's necessary? If someone has no symptoms, they can't spread ebola. So what's the benefit of a mandatory quarantine? - ty97 Oct 30, 07:28 11
        
        its being cautious. some of the careworkers coming back ( not all) are infected - Pippy of the Damned Oct 30, 07:34 4
        
        The great majority are not infected, so you want to put them all under house arrest? - loosi at home Oct 30, 08:01
        
        I understand an abundance of caution *if someone is contagious* - ty97 Oct 30, 07:39 2
        
        when would you know they were contagious? -- nm - groiny Oct 30, 07:40 1
        
        As stated elsewhere, everything I've read from the experts is that you become contagious when you start excreting a lot of fluids (vomit, feces, sweat - ty97 Oct 30, 07:41
        
        Wasn't that doctor in New York technically contagious for a day while he was out running errands and jogging? - Bacon Oct 30, 07:31 3
        
        Edge cases like this are where I get cautious because I realize I am *not* medically trained, and only have the information I have researched. - ty97 Oct 30, 07:38 1
        
        You are right on the CDC thing - Bacon Oct 30, 07:42
        
        The woman that flew to Dallas from the midwest. The nurse that cared for the guy that died -- nm - Bacon Oct 30, 07:31
        
        HILARIOUS. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 30, 07:30
