You tell people up front what the deal is; they'll do it. These are the same people going to Africa to help those people with this deadly disease. - Will Hunting Oct 30, 08:11 7

- *do* they get paid in quarantine? -- nm - Paranormal Andivity Oct 30, 08:13 5

        I don't understand the mentality "I'll volunteer to drastically increase my risk of death to help others, but quarantine to protect others NO" - Max Oct 30, 08:42
  - They aren't getting paid to work in Africa either. They're volunteers. -- nm - loosi at home Oct 30, 08:14
they can go there, they just need to quarantine 21 days before coming back. How could this possibly be a bad thing? -- nm - decline Oct 30, 08:10 12
- It's an absurd violation of people's rights, for one thing. Quarantine of somebody who is not sick has no legal *or* medical basis. -- nm - mara Oct 30, 08:16
- Because the 21 day quarantine on return will prevent people from going in the first place. 3 weeks locked up for no reason other than - Focused, Non-Terminal Repeating Phantasm Oct 30, 08:13 10
  - nah, that's bullsh!t. Give 'em 3 weeks paid leave. No one would say no. -- nm - decline Oct 30, 08:16 3

    - It's not leave. They're locked in a room. It's jail. -- nm - loosi at home Oct 30, 08:17
  - Exactly. No reason at all. -- nm - loosi at home Oct 30, 08:13 5
    - How long does it take to exhibit the signs of having ebola? -- nm - LMS Oct 30, 08:19 3
      - "Symptoms may appear anywhere from 2 to 21 days after exposure to Ebola, but the average is 8 to 10 days." -- nm - mara Oct 30, 08:22
      - 21 days from exposure is the longest known amount of time. -- nm - Paranormal Andivity Oct 30, 08:20 1
        
        There's always some freak result to screw up the average. -- nm - LMS Oct 30, 08:24
