Comments on: Hickox – 2 Governors – 0 https://whynow.dumka.us/2014/10/31/hickox-2-governors-0/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Sat, 01 Nov 2014 15:16:05 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2014/10/31/hickox-2-governors-0/comment-page-1/#comment-73661 Sat, 01 Nov 2014 15:16:05 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/?p=34116#comment-73661 Ebola is a terrible disease, but it isn’t easy to catch and most people already have what is necessary to kill it in their houses – chlorine bleach or very hot water. That is the basic flaw in these quarantine cases – a person isn’t infectious unless they have symptoms and the virus is in body fluids, not the air. Health care workers catch it because they have to deal with the body fluids of patients, not because they are in the room.

In the Maine case there was the problem that judges like professional opinions when it comes to cases like this and Ms Hickox has the most current scientific information in the state on the treatment of Ebola. Judges don’t like to be reversed on appeal, and the red-head was going to appeal until she won. She was right, knew she was right, and intended to stand on her rights.

Badtux said it – people willing to volunteer to risk an Ebola infection are not going to frightened by pompous posturing politicians.

My dad found out the painful way what happens when you try to take out your anger on one when I was a kid. He tried to slap her in the kitchen, and she grabbed a fry pan off the stove and hit him on the side of the head so hard, it knocked him out. She threw cold water over him and when he came too, she said next time she’d kill him. It wasn’t a threat. My maternal Grandfather was a decorated veteran of 2 World Wars and mu Mom learned you never threaten and you keep your word, always. 🙂 I’ve always been so proud of my Mom! My father, on the other hand, not so much. He was a bully and coward, but smart enough to know never to try that again. *shrug* Happy families.

Anyway, nice to see there are still some sane judges in the USA. I never cease to be amazed.
