A quarantine of returning healthcare workers really worries me - even only for those at high risk if there is every reason to believe they are going to get sick but the fact is, most don't. Doctors Without Borders have been working with Ebola for years with what - now two cases? The trouble with quarantining all returning health care workers is now even less people will want to go to West Africa to try to solve the world's Ebola crisis. It would be hard enough to want to go over there - takes a special sort of hero - but just imagine if the moment you get back, NY and NJ put you in quarantine in the unlikely event you might become ill. I'm so scared this might be the last little straw that broke the camel's back to discourage some workers from going there and they need a massive deployment of workers, not less!
Hopefully, this won't stunt the truly dedicated from going but wow, it sure could cut out some that figure they could offer themselves for two weeks, a month but a month plus a quarantine - not everybody can take that much time off their regular jobs. This step is worrisome for getting the disease stopped over there anytime soon.
