Morally entitled, she is. She thinks she's a hero and deserves deferential treatment.


I so don't care.


How dare we treat so noble a person as herself like this, huh?

How dare we?

"Coercive measures like mandatory quarantine of people exhibiting no symptoms of Ebola and when not medically necessary raise serious constitutional concerns about the state abusing its powers," says the director of New Jersey's ACLU. 

A rep for DWB is urging "fair and reasonable treatment" of its workers, and says it's trying to "clarify the details of the protocols with each state's departments of health." 

Meanwhile, Hickox notes the vast need for "more health care workers to help fight the epidemic in West Africa." 

In turn, she writes, "the US must treat returning health care workers with dignity and humanity."

So when she comes out of quarantine we'll give her a ticker-tape parade.

But no free pass on quarantine.

Medicos are perfectly free to risk their lives, if they want to.

But not ours.
