She didn’t come into contact with anybody who tested positive for the virus, but she was close to ten miles away from the hospital. :rolleyes:
If I throw up, can I get a week of quarantine? I could use the rest.
I have an aunt who lives somewhere in TX. Can I be put on leave?
StG
The whole of Maine should be quarantined. It is just too close for comfort to Africa.
According to this story, the teacher:
21 days paid leave?
Every school teacher in that district should immediately purchase a return ticket to Dallas. That would, at the very least, inflict on these fucking morons some consequences for their retarded idiocy. Let’s see how they cope having to keep their kids home from school for three weeks.
Did you know that Maine is, in fact, the closest American state to Africa? It’s one of those things that sounds really weird the first time you hear it.
The stooopid, it hurts.
And I lived in China during SARs when there was pretty heavy handed quarantines.
And from the same article:
There are no words for this stupidity.
Looks like she’ll enjoy temporarily earning money for free.
Right, the stupid just gave this teacher a free vacation. Heck, if I were this teacher, I’d come back to Dallas next month.
I ran through the Dallas airport in the early 90’s, and right now I think I’m coming down with something. So I’ll sign up for the vacation.
If my surname is Austin can I stay home?
Um yeah, that was kind of my point, but I was trying to be just a little bit subtle about it.
I think I learned the fact on these boards, though. Mind you, if you look at a globe it is fairly obvious.
I went to Maine a few times, ten years ago. Guess I better go make my will.
Hell, I live less than 3.5 miles from the hospital (it’s the closest to my house).
I’d sure like some time off with pay!
I think you should be barred from posting until we know you’re symptom-free. 
I’m going to Maine tomorrow. Do we know if this sort of stupid is airborne, or can it only be transmitted through fluids? What precautions should I take?
Come on, she was on a plane. People with Ebola were known to be on a plane also. I say this quarantine is entirely justified, and everybody who has been on a plane since September 20 should immediately get a three-week [del]vacation[/del] quarantine.
Yay!
SARs was lot more wide spread than this Ebola thing and yet people did not get so worked up like this Ebola thing.
Must be the media doing it.
No, it’s the scary suits.
