They may have the right to quarantine, but why not be truthful about it? Just say it's mandatory and be done with it.

I already said that I agreed with you, on that point. I have no idea why they're calling it voluntary. It doesn't make any sense to me.

I'm sorry, I may have misinterpreted your post. That whole news conference was nothing but a farce.

If everybody stopped talking about her (including moi), clicking on articles, watching every news story, her 15 minutes would be over.{#emotions_dlg.sneaky}

I'm sorry, dooBdoo... I did it again! I watched that Maine news conference and just couldn't keep my mouth shut. {#emotions_dlg.blush}{#emotions_dlg.crying} They just keep really getting on my nerves... I've gone off the deep end and I am not responsible for my actions! {#emotions_dlg.scared}

Hey, kittymom.Smile

I'm not condemning or chiding, just stating the facts. And that's why I included "moi."{#emotions_dlg.laugh}

I know, I'm just trying to lighten the moment a little. And I imagine I will be chastised for that, since I did chastise some people for making fun on an actual Ebola thread. I may get my comeuppance!

No problem. I managed to intentionally miss the news conference.

Let's consider the daily comeuppance the standard fare, and roll with it!{#emotions_dlg.thumbup}

Look around the internet at the comments being made where ever her story appears you'll see she doesn't have a lot of supporters on this.

If she doesn't have support on the internet, she must be wrong. Just ignore the entire medical community that says these quarantines are harmful.

{#emotions_dlg.thumbup}

Gotta tell you, I'm seeing quite a few folks in a new, very different and not very flattering light. If the Gov of Maine puts 2 armed state police outside her home, I'm looking forward to the lawsuit and will even gladly send some money to a fund to help pay for her lawyer.


They are in an unmarked car, not standing on her doorstep with guns drawn. Geesh, talk about hysteria. They are also there for her safety since she has been receiving death threats.

A comeuppance on you kittymom! JK {#emotions_dlg.biggrin}

I truly hope she doesn't get arrested because it could impact her ability to travel (some countries ask if you've been arrested and don't really care if you've been convicted or not). It could also negatively influence future employers.

That is what I am hearing too.

Not saying she is wrong or right...I'm pointing out she doesn't have the support she thinks she has....right now the media is using her for ratings...they love stuff like this.

If she thinks the laws are wrong then fight them...but she should stop making a fool of herself if she wants to be taken serious.....claiming you will not obey laws because you have a point to prove is ridiculous....breaking the law is not how to change a law.

It has been said that one of her attorneys is attending a dinner at the WH tonight. Before you chastise me, no I don't have a "source" yet. More to come.

eta: He attended a state dinner there in February 2014

I think she has more support than you may realize -- like DWB for starters and the US medical community.
