Lara Logan was in Liberia filming a segment on Ebola for 60 Minutes.
After the segment was recorded, Logan and her crew then entered what is described as a “voluntary quarantine” for two weeks. (It’s not clear whether this was Logan’s idea or the network’s.) They’re not in a hospital or other medical site: they’ve checked into a South African hotel and brought in video equipment so they can work on the segment (and so Logan can give interviews).
So is there a legitimate health concern here or is this just a publicity stunt? I’ll admit my opinion tends towards the latter based on what I’ve heard so far.
Not clear, but I’m honestly not sure. Maybe they thought since they spent a good amount of time in Liberia, that it would be a good idea to go into self imposed quarantine.
By the way on a side note, am I the only one who has noticed something different with Lara Logan’s face? She seems like she had some work done, not that I would kick her out of bed.
I feel like Lara Logan’s career has been a publicity stunt. This is at least the 3rd time I’m aware of that SHE has been the story, but I couldn’t tell you any stories she has covered in which she is not part of the subject.
Does it really count as a quarantine if they’re just in a hotel room? Presumably they’re coming in contact with people bringing them food/other supplies…
Is this really a publicity stunt when the story was a pretty in-depth look at a makeshift hospital for Ebola patients and the “2 week quarantine” was nothing more than a verbal footnote by the presenter at the end of the story? It’s not like they took the camera with them and reported from the room. I get the feeling that they only mentioned it so they wouldn’t get all kinds of calls and emails from viewers calling them irresponsible for going there and not quarantining themselves afterward.
