But no, she has to act defiant and it was like, "Damn you, you aren't going to tell me what to do. I'm taking a bike ride, I'll show you." Real mature. This makes people scared and they feel like she's not responsible and she might even hide symptoms or do something esle stupid in the future to put others at risk. It's about reassuring the public that the workers volunteering in Africa are reasonable and prudent people and will do the right thing. She took a bad situation and made it worse and caused even more panic because now people feel like some people could have it, but won't obey court orders to stay confined to their homes. Perhaps she not spreading Ebola, but she's spreading panic and an uneasy feeling that we have no control, and in my opinion, that's almost as bad. I also think people might overreact and want everyone coming back from Africa quarantined.

If people are panicking that is only because the Media is looking to stir the pot. Yes, she was defiant and like you SNL skit pretty much looked like a crazy person.....like I said before it was her presentation and delivery. BUT~ Christie was overstepping his boundaries and IMO he is just posturing for a Presidential run and using the fear mongering as a way to get his name out there . She had a slightly elevated temperature and he tossed her into a tent in a parking lot with a port-a-potty and wifi
