Why is CA quarantining returning medical staff?

Is it because they are a Conservative state which hates volunteers?

I realize it isn't scientifically based, so it must be racist...as is, bringing in horses from another state.

California was not one of the states that initially imposed a quarantine rule on people traveling from Ebola-impacted countries, perhaps in part because none of its airports are normal destination points for those arriving in the US from western Africa. That changed quietly yesterday, as the state’s top health official announced a mandatory 21-day quarantine on anyone who had contact with Ebola patients. The Golden State joins New York, New Jersey, and Illinois in the use of quarantines to contain any potential exposures until after the virus’ incubation period.

Despite all his bloviating in that other thread, I've not seen a single person here try to turn the issue of quarantining into a liberal versus conservative argument.

I was quite clear in how I'd administer such a program.......if you've lived or worked there, or are a citizen of one of those countries, then when entering the US you will be quarantined for 21 days minimum....PERIOD, NO EXCEPTIONS.

Like the Phillipines, or a animal importer. I like your style.

I think OT would like to label them...it could be called ECOOL. Why stop the disease, when you can just label it and let a person know what they are buying?

I picture OT huddled around a tree, crying and moaning about environmental destruction, while burning people in his fireplace.

I didn't put a D or R next to the state.. but a quick look shows MOST are blue states/cities....

I think a rational fair solution was fro the person to self isolate a bit... use some common sense... unless they are symptomatic.. then they should be quarantined.
