After Huge Bad Press and Immense Pressure From Real Healthcare People, Quarantined #Ebola Nurse Kaci Hickox to Be Released Finally by New Jersey.

I am glad and quite happy but sad when I read so many ignorant commentaries online. 

#Ebola is Infectious but not #Contagious unless One has Acute Symptoms. 

Going to Africa and Volunteering to help Contain the Spread is the only Way to Prevent deaths and Spread.  But to turn back and then Forcibly and unconstitutionally Quarantine our fellow American Citizens with Rights is not only #Evil, Illegal and inhumane. 

It is against any sanctioned Public Health Practice in any Country. 

We should base laws on Sound Medical fact and not make up stories of fictional fevers that are non existent because of the fear of #Ebola in Africa. 

What is annoying is that I did not see this type of MAss hysteria when #SARS came out in Asia. 

There was no Ban on travel or any flights or testing.  The influenza kills more people here in a year than #EBOLA in 5 years. 

According to GMA, 

This morning, the nurse sent a message to ABC News' Chief Health and Medical Editor Dr. Richard Besser thanking people for taking her side.

“I’m so thankful for the immense attention and support I’ve received. I just hope this nightmare of mine and the fight that I’ve undertaken is not in vain!” Hickox wrote.

The New Jersey Department of Health issued a statement this morning that Hickox has been "symptom free for the last 24 hours," and that it decided to discharge her after consulting with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

"After consulting with her, she has requested transport to Maine, and that transport will be arranged via a private carrier not via mass transit or commercial aircraft," the department said.

Senior officials in the Christie administration said she will be driven in a car and escorted by officials from the state and Doctors Without Borders, the agency the Hickox worked for in West Africa.

Hickox, 33, hired civil rights attorney Norman Siegel to fight her mandatory quarantine. The nurse has said she feels that her "basic human rights are being violated," kept in a isolation tent at University Hospital in Newark, despite showing no symptoms of the Ebola virus.
