Obama citicizes new Ebola measures in three U.S. states

New York City, Oct 27 (EFE).- New Ebola measures adopted in three states of the United States have been criticized by President Barack Obama following condemnation for their lack of clarity and the negative consequences they may have on the outbreak in Africa.

The states of New York and New Jersey Friday announced they would quarantine travelers passing through airports after having contact with Ebola-affected patients in West Africa.

Illinois announced it would adopt the same policy.

The Obama administration said Sunday in a statement that the imposition of "certain measures" could unnecessarily dissuade medical personnel from volunteering in the fight against Ebola in West Africa.

The first person to be affected by the new protocol, Kaci Hickox, told the CNN news channel that her unnecessary isolation was a violation of human rights and was unacceptable.

Hickox, a nurse who returned to the United States after a stint with Doctors Without Borders in Sierra Leone, was isolated even after testing negative for the Ebola virus.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and his New York counterpart, Andrew Cuomo, were widely criticized for the move, including by the federal authorities.

"The best way to protect us is to stop the epidemic in Africa, and we need those health care workers, so we do not want to put them in a position where it makes it very, very uncomfortable for them to even volunteer to go," said Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

He reiterated his support for the Obama administration's position on tackling Ebola in West Africa by helping people there as the best measure to fight the epidemic.

Doctors Without Borders, in a statement, lamented the lack of clarity of the new state measures and underlined the necessity of ensuring proper treatment and the rights of health personnel returning from Africa.

In a related development, Dr. Craig Spencer, the first person diagnosed with Ebola in New York and whose case provoked the strong reaction from the authorities, was reported to be in serious, but stable, condition.

According to medical sources, Spencer is in the second stage of the disease and is being treated with the blood of an Ebola survivor.

He'll save the world, even if it kills us all.

Predictable liberal governing. All emotion, and no common sense.

Cuomo has already caved, it looks like. Christie is still exercising his state's right to have a quarantine system more stringent than the federal.

We'll see how long that lasts.

Guys,

Don't worry. Zero's Ebola Czar is on top of this.

He'll fix it.

It's almost as if he's TRYING to bring a deadly, contagious disease into the country and doing everything in his power to accelerate its spread.

"almost as".......hell, his avowed intent is to destroy America. He is staying on course, and not wasting a single crisis or event.

can we get him in contact with someone who has ebola? I'd like for him to get quarantined for 21 days.

Its extraordinary how bad Obama has been in his second term

Wait for the REAL good stuff after the mid-term elections. You ain't seen nothing yet.

Here's my solution to the quarantine issue ...

Send the healthcare workers back in groups and put 'em on Windjammer 12 day cruise in the Bahamas with absolutely no contact with anyone else. No one gets off the ship until the quarantine period is over. You don't have to treat people who aren't sick like infected patients and put them in solitary confinement.

Give 'em a vacation after they've spent their time volunteering to deal with disease and death. If they've followed protocol no one should get sick.

This has got to be less expensive than placing all healthcare workers in medical quarantine facilities and it would serve the same purpose. No public contact until there's no risk of spreading the disease.

This. Unfortunately.

They released her this morning.

Obama wants this country to suffer like Africa and other third world chit holes

But yet the Pentagon is considering quarantining the troops coming back...

Let them all wait out their quarantines in the family room at the White House.

Exactly!
