Kaci Hickox Moans About Her Human Rights Being Violated: What About My Basic Human Rights?

At the risk of being sued by nurse Kaci Hickox I am going to put my thoughts out there.

This woman, a nurse and a nurse who has been helping Ebola patients no less, has declared that her ‘basic human rights’ have been violated by forcing her into quarantine since her return from West Africa.

Of New jersey Governor Chris Christie she said:

“First of all, I don’t think he’s a doctor; secondly, he’s never laid eyes on me; and thirdly, I’ve been asymptomatic since I’ve been here,”

Well Sweetie let me remind you that Thomas Duncan was asymptomatic when he got here and Dr Craig Spencer was asymptomatic when he got back from Africa.

I cannot believe that a nurse of all people would take this line. She knows having been in West Africa and seeing the devastation that Ebola causes, that a single person with the disease poses a major threat to others. 5,000 people are dead and all of those cases stem from a child, in some far away village that nobody has ever heard of.

Her claim that the government has violated her basic human rights is a crock of shit. What about my basic human rights? What about your basic human rights?

The liar-in-chief has announced that all military personnel returning from missions in West Africa will be quarantined on their return. For once I and I would assume most of the American public, agree with him. These men and women were assigned their task, they had no choice about going to a highly dangerous region and they had no choice about being quarantined on their return.

Kaci Hickox had a choice. She didn’t have to go.

Is Hickox saying she warrants different treatment than the men and women of our armed forces? Is there something about her that protects her from Ebola?

She’s bleating that she has had three negative test results…and what? With the quoted 21 day incubation period for most and up to 42 days   for some people what’s to say it won’t be positive tomorrow, or the next day?

After imposing the quarantine rule for military personal Obama then reverted to his usual idiotic type:

“They are already by definition if they are in the military under more circumscribed conditions,” Obama told reporters at the White House. “We don’t expect to have similar rules for our military as we do for civilians.” (my emphasis)

Er, yes actually we do, well I do. I expect exactly the same rules Mr president.

I applaud the Australian government for doing all they can to protect their citizens by imposing a visa ban from the affected areas. Those who already have a visa will have a 21 day quarantine period before they are free to move around the country. Many have complained, not least the affected West African countries concerned, the World Health Organization and Amnesty International. The measures have been described as counterproductive and draconian. Maybe…but I’ll bet you a dollar to a donut that fewer Australians become infected than Americans.

Kaci Hickox is most likely NOT be infected with Ebola, but you have to ask, is it worth the risk?

I don’t think so.

The recent admission by the CDC that Ebola can be spread by droplets from coughs and sneezes has opened up a whole new can of worms. The play on words between airborne and droplet transmission is a mute point.

The common understanding of airborne is that it can travel through the air from one person to another. The scientific definition of airborne is that the disease hangs around in the air and can infect people who breathe that air even if the infected person is no longer present.

The latest CDC advice sheet states:

Droplet spread happens when germs traveling inside droplets that are coughed or sneezed from a sick person enter the eyes, nose, or mouth of another person.

Droplets travel short distances, less than 3 feet (1 meter) from one person to another.

A person might also get infected by touching a surface or object that has germs on it and then touching their mouth or nose.

Droplet spread diseases include: plague, Ebola. (Read more)

There are numerous sources that state that nasties from a sneeze can travel far, far further than 3 feet. Mythbusters logged sneeze snot landing at between 13 and 17 feet from the sneezer. Medical News Today quote research from MIT call a cough and/or sneeze a “multiphase turbulent buoyant cloud”

Droplets travel much farther than previous estimates

The investigators found that, compared with previous assumptions, droplets from coughs and sneezes travel much farther.

Droplets that are 100 micrometers in diameter were found to travel five times farther than past estimates, while droplets 10 micrometers in diameter were found to travel 200 times farther. In addition, the team found that droplets less that 50 micrometers in size are often able to stay airborne long enough to enter ceiling ventilation units.

Quarantining people who have been to countries affected by Ebola is not something to take lightly, but I suggest it has to be done.  If just one of those brave souls returning from West Africa has a common cold, and is wandering around in public we will have much more to worry about that Ms Hickoxs’ basic human rights.

Someone with a cold/flu will feel very unwell, most likely they will have a fever, many will attribute that fever to the cold/flu they are suffering from. This is a feeling we all know only too well. Just a day coughing and sneezing around their family, friends and colleagues is all it will take for this terrible disease to spread.

Of course, catching a cold from others is something we are all also familiar with and something that will in most cases go unreported…until a few weeks later when Ebola cases start to crop up in little clusters.

The fact is Kaci Hickox may well be Ebola free, but the precedent she is helping to set could well cause the death of thousands. I hope to God that the worry of that keeps her awake at night.

  • Do they want the quarantine, do they not. Is it up , is it down. trying to keep up with these behavioral think tank scenario writers is difficult. This nurse has already been outed as a CDC operative. The CDC was set up after ww2 by the Nazi’s. They continue their viral madness thanks by the funding of the Rockefeller foundation and his Nazi friend Bill Gates. The same players in the ’76 Ebola/Zaire spread (IMF, World Bank, CDC, WHO, NATO). These people are deprived of empathy and consciousness. They have no soul.

  • My dog would get an automatic 30 day quarantine to go to Iceland.

  • and I quote, “Well Sweetie let me remind you that Thomas Duncan was asymptomatic when he got here and Dr Craig Spencer was asymptomatic when he got back from Africa.”

    And let me remind you……

    The moment that Thomas Duncan developed symptoms……he sought medical intervention….and was sent home with antibiotics…….under the unwritten standard protocol of…….”Greet and Treat and Street”

    This implies…Get financial information, treat or not treat according to financial information, and turn back out onto the street……..

    (NOTICE–listening to the patient is NOT included in any of those steps…….However, ignore the patient is TAUGHT as a standard in med school.)

  • I agree that that nurse should not have special privileges. The thing is she volunteered to go over there. She has seen what the disease can do. With that in mind , she resists quarantine…at home. And she is a nurse.
    You know I see a lot of stupid remarks in some of the comments section on the websites I look at. People have a tendency to talk about things they know nothing about, I mean nothing. I read the other day a British study was done that proved the ebola virus can last up to 50 days, then I read somebody commenting that people riding subways and all forms of public transportation ‘can’t get the disease; there is no epidemic.
    One thing I like to leave people with when making comments.During the 1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic, cities and, states told the public there was no problem and the disease was under control. Three things come to mind about this. One, when these comments were made hundreds of people were dying, not sick, dying in each city and state. In one city, people died so fast, they had to be burned in the parks. Second, the pandemic claimed between 40 and 100 million people dead. Third, the symptoms of the disease and the events and the disease then and now are very similar.
    As far as what happened in that Emergency Rm, from personal experience, you can tell staff and they can note it, and there still be problems. My father almost lost his life because staff were told health issues and the information was disregarded.

    • Her quarantine was NOT at home. It was in a tent…..with a port-o-potty and no shower.

      Big difference than being at home.
