21-day monitoring for #Ebola? Is that really the Answer? #Ebola is not airborne.

21-day monitoring for #Ebola? Is that really the Answer? From a Medical Perspective, it is Wrong. 
This will make health care workers not want to treat people or help in African countries afflicted by the Disease. 

Why was this response not done and Isolation and Quarantine done when SARS came out in Asia?

Is this just because it is the #African Continent?

Nurse Under Ebola Quarantine Alleges Poor Treatment

Kaci Hickox, the first traveler quarantined under Ebola watches in New Jersey and New York, wrote the first-person account for the Dallas Morning News (http://bit.ly/1w4Vi4J), which was posted on the paper's website Saturday. Her preliminary tests for Ebola came back negative.
"This is not a situation I would wish on anyone, and I am scared for those who will follow me," Hickox wrote of her quarantine. "I am scared about how health care workers will be treated at airports when they declare that they have been fighting Ebola in West Africa. I am scared that, like me, they will arrive and see a frenzy of disorganization, fear and, most frightening, quarantine. ... The U.S. must treat returning health care workers with dignity and humanity."

So now, New York, New Jersey and now Louisiana as well as Florida have the same laws in place.

According to Dr  Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said that as a physician and scientist, he would have recommended against a quarantine.

We can not keep making laws based on fiction. 

#Ebola is not airborne.



Samantha Power, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations who is on a trip to West Africa to highlight the need for increased international support to combat Ebola, spoke of a need to ensure that returning U.S. health care workers "are treated like conquering heroes and not stigmatized for the tremendous work that they have done."
