Hickox – 1, Christie – 0
After the verbal beating that New Jersey governor Christie took from Kaci Hickox over the weekend, CNN reports Quarantined woman to be discharged, Christie’s office announces.
Ms Hickox will be going home to Maine where she is probably the leading expert in the state on Ebola and the treatment of patients with the disease. Maine has an international airport and could certainly use some local guidance in the area.
It was absurd on the part of the governors to think that people who have volunteered to risk their lives dealing with the Ebola outbreak at its source were going to quietly acquiesce to being treated like criminals on their return.
