1. Nurse who showed no ebola symptoms but was still quarantined, Doctors without borders
ReplyDelete2. New York, new jersey
3. It causes people not to want to volunteer to fight ebola, making eliminating the disease harder
4. director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, so that they can stop ebola at the source without doctors being reluctant to go to Africa
5. They cannot afford a breakout of that horrible disease
6. It strips people of their rights and slows progress in ending ebola

2. New York and New Jersey.
3. People that around it can easily be attacked with it very easily.
4. He is director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. To be able to check out the people that have it and what it is coming from.
5.He does not think that you can rely on a voluntary support group.
6. Only a handful of people have gotten Ebola. It Is not an outbreak in the country.
7.The governors. Because, even though the president does have more control and can make decisions as a whole, the governors focus on their state. So, if the governors could decide they would have more specific knowledge about what is happening in their state. Rather than the president looking at it as a whole country.

3. They say that strict mandates could hamper overall efforts to combat the deadly virus at its epicenter.
4. Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. So the virus can be contained within Africa and the risk of the virus becoming global is lessened.
5. He believes that it is a necessary measure to protect the state and the U.S.
6. Health workers are "indispensable" in the cause to fight this "outbreak."
7. I think it should be up to the people. After all, this country is a democracy. Cant leave it up to politicians who know that they will get the best treatment money will buy.

ReplyDelete1. Kaci Hickox is a nurse who returned from Sierra Leone and tested negative for Ebola but is being held in isolation in New Jersey. She is apart of the organization Doctors Without Boarders.
2. New York and New Jersey are getting the most fire for their Ebola quarantine policies.
3. They feel that it is an extreme and could hamper the overall efforts to combat the deadly virus.
4. Anthony Fauci is director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. He believes that the best way to keep us safe is to stop the epidemic in Africa. He also says that those health care workers are needed and we should not put them in a situation that makes it uncomfortable for them to volunteer in Africa.
5. He believes that the potential threat of spreading the disease is too great to leave to self-monitoring.
6. The President's reasoning is that the decisions must be guided by the best medical science and most knowledgeable health care experts. Also, that healthcare workers are an indispensable element of our effort to lead the international community to contain and end this outbreak, and we should not discourage them.
7. I believe that the governors should be able to make the decisions about this topic because it may vary for different states. I also think that if the decisions made by the governor proves to not be in the best interest then the President should step in, but the decision should ultimately be left to the governor.
1. Who is Kaci Hickox? Of what organization is she a part?
ReplyDeleteHickox returned from Sierra Leone after working with Ebola patients. She was negative and she still has to stay a 21 day-period at home(quarantine). She works with Doctors Without Borders
2. What two states are coming under the most fire for their new Ebola quarantine policies?
New York and New Jersey
3. What reasoning do the opponents of the quarantine procedures give for their opposition?
They want to make sure that any person coming from Africa that has worked with an Ebola patient would not give any symptoms to anyone else. But if you've went to Africa and have not worked with any Ebola patients then you would not have the 21 day offered.
4. Who is Anthony Fauci? Why does he say that health experts need to be able to go to West Africa with as little hassle as possible?
Fauci is the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases he objected to quarantine policies. He thinks sending American volunteers to countries affected with Ebola in Africa is important and making people do quarantine at home will effect with helping others with the virus. He think that isn't a very good idea.
5. Why is Chris Christie so adamant about his state's new quarantine procedures?
Christie agrees with Coumo, he is just a follower
6. What are President Obama's reasons for condemning the new quarantine measures?
That they shouldnt discourage those who are working to try and to make everything better. The healthcare workers are doing the best thay can and are leading and helping those in need.
7. When it comes down to it, who do you believe should get to make the decisions about the quarantine procedures, the governors or the president?
I definitely think that the President should be in charge of any quarantine that is restricted among health care workers trying to help patients in any way. If they are negative then yes, leave them alone. We know that Tom Duncan was as well pronounced negtive and then a few days later he had the symptoms, but now im sure that they are much more aware and much more serious of this disease that when they test you for it on the first try, it should either be negative or positive so there wont be any confusion. There health care workers have a life too

3. Because this could cause less volunteers to go to West Africa to help stop this disease
4. director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases SO that the virus is contained in West Africa
5. He doesnt think we should rely on volunteers to help cure this disease that the government should take action.
6. The steps they are taking are by the best medical science. To ultimately end the outbreak.
7. I really think that the senate and house of representatives should make this decesion. This should not be decided by 1 man but by multiple votes.
Cameron Stone
ReplyDeleteShe is a doctor who volunteered to fight ebola in West Africa with Doctors Without Borders.
New York and New Jersey.
The virus can only be spread once symptoms are appearing so people should only be quarantined once they become symptomatic.
The director of the National Institute of Allergy and infectious Diseases who thinks the easier it is when the volunteers comeback the more volunteers that will go to Africa to fight the disease.
Christie thinks that people will be less likely to quarantine themselves if its voluntary and the government must enforce it so the disease does not spread.
It tends to discourage more doctors from going to Africa because of the hardships they face when returning so the process to come back should be as easy as possible so more doctors will go and fight ebola.
I think it is the governors job to control their states quarantine procedures, the President is overstepping his bounds by trying to tell the governors what they can do.

3. They feel like if they dont have any symptoms they shouldnt be quarantined.
4. Fauci is the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. He says its the best way to protect us and we need those health care workers.
5. Because so many people have volunteered to help out and more people are still trying to help out.
6. He doesnt want to have another ebola case in the USA and the healthcare workers are important and shouldn't be discouraged.
7. I believe the governors should make the decisions because they're in charge of their own state.

2. New York and New Jersey are getting the most fire about their Ebola quarantine policies.
3.The opponents believe they should help volunteer in the Ebola crisis in West Africa.
4. Anthony Fauci is the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and he does not want them to feel uncomfortable and they need to go so they can save the world and not be isolated but monitored incase of symptoms.
5. Chris Christie says the spread of the disease is too great to leave to self- monitoring and say they should be isolated and monitored so it does not get worse for returning workers.
6.President Obama says the help of our workers can help stop the virus from spreading to the United States and give the workers courage to want to serve and save people.
7. The President should make the decisions because he is control of the nation and doing what he thinks is best for the country and he says we should not be lead by fear but science but he should hear what the governors have to say because they are closer to the people but they should have a understanding and talk it out and have a compromise.

2) New York and New Jersey
3) That it takes focus away from attacking the virus at its epicenter.
4) The director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. He says that the best way to protect us is to stop it in Africa.
5) He believes that a voluntary system cannot be trusted with such a serious disease.
6) That such measures may and have discouraged people from volunteering to help fight the disease.
7) Ideally, they should come together and agree. But of course that does not always happen. The president should set some ground rules, but give some freedom to the governors. Ultimately it is the president's decision, because the president can think about the nation as a whole while a governor may only think about his or her specific state.

ReplyDelete1.) Kaci Hickox is a medical official through Doctor's Without Borders that is being quaratined because she recently returned from a country exposed by ebola.
2.) The two states coming under the most fire are New York and New Jersey.
3.) They are showing no symptoms and feel it is an invasion of their human rights.
4.) Anthony Fauci is the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious diseases and states West Africa should be easily accesible because the virus needs to be contained in order to erandicate it.
5.) Christie is so adamant about the new quaratine procedures because he feels it will not be properly handled on a voluntary system and should not be left up for chance whether the virus will spread or not.
6.) Obama states that we have to be a leader internationally, taking the sterotypical air that America is the big bully of all the other countries and should dive in to help them at every chance they get, but he also states that the country can not be run by fear so his solution is to ignore Ebola and take it away from the center of attention
7.) The governors should have the decision because we live in a democracy and we can not give all the power to one man but should separate it equally. Obama does not have to live in these regions and does not know how it would affect that said region meaning the governor would have a better judgment on the matter.

4. He is the Director of the National institute of allergy and infectious diseases. He says it because He thinks to stop it all they need to stop it in Africa first.
5. He wants to protect the citizens.
6. He says only few americans have caught it and that fear shouldn't lead us.
7. I see where each governor should do what they think will keep their state safe but the president should get to say what is in the whole countries best interest. The disease will spread through different states and then it becomes more of a nationwide problem which would concern the president.
Jessica Lewis
ReplyDelete1. Kaci Hickox is a nurse who was isolated after showing no signs of Ebola.
2. The two states are New Jersey and New York.
3. They believe in voluntary monitoring over isolation.
4. Anthony Fauci is the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. He believes the disease should be contained there.
5. Christie believes that isolation for 21 days will prevent any and all spreading of Ebola. She sees protecting her state as just as important as solving the problem in Africa.
6. Obama is raising concerns as to the process as quarantining people can be seen as over reaction. He seems to believe that alternative ways of screening are more humane than locking somebody into their home for a period of time.
7. While it would be better for the president to have control as he has the power and references to get info from many professionals as to the best method of quarantine. There is an advantage to if the governors pick their own quarantine methods. As it means each method will be tested and this will show which method works best for containing the disease. which is instead of the entire country using the same method which may or may not work. With varying methods there is a greater chance or multiple states surviving even if others do not.

6. He said that they "should be crafted so as not to unnecessarily discourage those workers from serving."
7. I believe the president should get to make the decisions about the quarantine procedures because this is a problem that is in a number of states, so the states should have the same quarantine procedures (decided by an upper power - the president) to make sure it does not spread to other states.

7. The governors. Sure, the president has the ability to oversee the whole nation but with such an infectious disease as this, you need to "microscopically" break it down. The president doesn't look at every single town. He looks at the nation as a whole. Governors will be able to know what their town needs and that will specifically and hopefully stop the outbreak for them.

ReplyDelete1.Kaci Hickox is aprt of the organization Doctors Without Borders and after coming back from a mission she had Ebola-like symptoms. She was under quarantine and she reported to the news she felt as if her human rights were removed from the situation.
2. New York and New Jersey's new Ebola quarantine policies are controversial to the public.
3. They are opposed to the quarantine procedures because it is a 21 day home-based program. The opponents want the patients under quarantine.
4. Anthony Fauci is the director of the National Institue of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. He believes we need to we isolate the disease in West Africa, so going their with little hassle would alleviate the problem of getting rid of the disease.
5.Chris Christie is adamant about his state's procedures because he does not want it to spread and become a worldwide epidemic.
6. He is condemning the new procedures because there is only a handful of people with Ebola. We are acting on impulse and fear as a country and not on science, facts, and logical reasoning.
7. I believe the President should make decisions on the quarantine process because as of right now the governors are doing a terrible job. If ebola were to spread it would become a national, then worldwide, epidemic. This would make it his job to create the quarantine procedures since it would be covering the nation rather than a few states.

3. Recommended voluntary monitoring, not isolation, for returning health-care workers, stressing that Ebola cannot be spread unless symptoms appear.
4. Anthony S. Fauci is the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. He said it is vital for efforts to contain the virus there.
5. Chris Christie is so adamant about his ideas because he believes that it is the best way to keep the other citizens of the United States from getting it.
6. Obama makes these statements to show that we need people working for the greater good and to help stop the virus from spreading.
7. The states should be able to govern themselves the federal government should stay out of it. If the government has a say of their own state it could be prevented a lot more because the president is only one person if he makes a rule for all 50 states then there is no way for all of the states to be happy let the states choose what they want done.

ReplyDelete1. Doctors without borders and is a nurse who contracted Ebola but at first showed no symptoms and is now in isolation.
2. New York and New Jersey
3. iT will help with the fast epidemic
4. he is the director of the national institute of allergy and infectious diseases and to contain the virus there so it would be contained here.
5 Spreading the disease was to great a risk to self-monitoring by returning aid workers.
6.Obama says it is very important that our health care officials help to stop the epedimic.
7. Ebola is a serious issue. The people with it should know that they are trying to protect others there for they should take the precautions of staying home and being monitored if there is a chance they could have it. If the president makes the decisions for the states then that would be micro managing the states which is not what the president is there for. If it is for the whole country then the president, but the governors know their states better and the people better.

ReplyDelete1) Kaci Hickox was a patient with supposedly to have Ebola. She was part of the Doctors Without Borders.
2)New York and New Jersey
3) Saying to do voluntary monitoring not to be isolated from citizens, returning health care workers, saying that Ebola CAN NOT be spreaded around the U.S.
4) Anthony S. Fauci- the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease. He said that we need to be isolated away from the disease in West Africa.
5) He believes it is the best way to keep citizen from getting the deadly disease and passing it around to others.
6)His reasoning is saying that people should not over react because they will stress themselves out and that they will soon find a cure for Ebola.
7) The governor is responsible for their own states. If the governor makes a decision they are putting themselves in danger as well as the people in the state. I do not feel like the federal gov. should get to much say so because the governor of the state should be able to make reasonable suggestions about the case of Ebola.

4. He is the director of the National Institute of Alergy and Infectious Diseases. to protect us and the virus can be contained.
5. He is adamant because he feels it is the best way to keep American safe.
6. He believes it violates their rights and healthcare workers are indespensible and stop virus from spreading.
7. The President because he is over the governors and has total power. The fact that the governors think they can do this is undermining his authority. It is disrespectful to his office and unsafe for the country.

ReplyDelete1. Kaci Hickox is a nurse who helped stop the spread of Ebola and is a part of the Doctors Without Borders organization.
2. New York and New Jersey are the two states whose quarantine procedures have been heavily scrutinized.
3. The opponents of the quarantine say that it will make people not want to volunteer to help people with Ebola in Africa.
4. Anthony Fauci is the leader of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. He says that volunteers need to be able to go to Africa with as little hassle as possible because it is very important to keep the disease contained in West Africa.
5. Christie is so adamant about the procedures because he says he does not want the epidemic to reach the US and start spreading.
6. President Obama says that the policies will discourage volunteers which is bad because volunteers are needed to stop the virus from spreading.
7. I believe the President should make the decision because he is the leader of the nation and this is an important decision to make that will affect many people so he should make it.

ReplyDelete1. Kaci Hickox, she works with Doctors Without Borders
2. New York and New Jersey
3. They would not be willing to volunteer to fight against Ebola.
4. Anthony Fauci is the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. He says this because they can stop Ebola at the root, Africa.
5. The breakout of the disease would not be affordable.
6. It is not an outbreak, only a few have gotten it. There is no need to over react.
7. The president, I believe this because the president would know more about the disease and he deals with foreign affairs.

ReplyDelete1. Kaci Hickox is apart of the Doctors Without Borders organization and after coming back from a mission in Sierra Leone she claimed of having Ebola-like symptoms.
2.The two states that are coming under the most fire for their new Ebola quarantine policies is New York and New Jersey.
3. The opponents of the quarantine procedures give their opposition because the procedures involve the patients under quarantine, a 21 day home-based program, and people not wanting to volunteer in Africa to fight Ebola.
4. Anthony Fauci is the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. He wants health experts to be able to go to West Africa with as little hassle as possible so that they can isolate the disease and the problem of getting rid of the disease will be easier.
5. Chris Christie is adamant about his state's quarantine procedures because he does not want Ebola to become a worldwide epidemic.
6. Obama's reasons for condemning the new procedures is because there is very few people with Ebola. He says that we are acting out of inhumane fear and not logical reasoning.
7. I believe the President should make decisions on the quarantine procedures because, unfortunately, the governors are acting on impulse and not basing their decisions on scientific fact. If Ebola were to become un-isolated, then it would become an international crisis. This would make it specifically Obama's responsibility to create the quarantine procedures since it would involve the nation rather than several states.

ReplyDelete1. Kaci Hickox is a nurse who returned from Sierra Leone. Hickox is part of the Doctors Without Borders organization.
2. New York and New Jersey
3. The people that get contacted with it can get attacked with the disease very easily.
4. Anthony Fauci is a director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Fauci says that health experts need to be able to go to West Africa because he wants those health care workers to volunteers. They don't want to force them but make them feel uncomfortable that it's their responsibility to go there and help.
5. Chris Christie is so adamant because he thinks that the threat of spreading the disease was too great to leave to self-monitoring by returning aid workers.
6. President Obama's reasons for condemning the new quarantine measures are that USA must be guided by the best medical science, as informed by our most knowledgeable public health experts and advised new measurements for returning health care workers.
7. I think that the governors should make the decisions about the quarantine procedures. Even though the President has more control over it, the governors know more about what's happening in there states when the President is looking at it as a whole.
1. She's a nurse who works for Doctors Without Borders.
ReplyDelete2. New Jersey and New York
3. Placing overly strict quarantines on volunteers will slow down the process of finding a cure for ebola.
4. He is the director for the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. The easier the process is, the more likely it is that people will volunteer and a treatment will be found.
5. He is so adamant because he is being overly cautious about the spreading of the disease.
6. The measures will discourage volunteers from containing the disease.
7. When it comes down to it, who do you believe should get to make the decisions about the quarantine procedures, the governors or the president? Even though there have been a few isolated cases, this is a problem that concerns the nation, so I think the president and the federal government should take care of this problem because so far, some state officials have been pursuing policies that are not based on concrete scientific facts. They are violating people's constitutional rights and increasing fear and hysteria concerning the disease.

4.He is the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. He feels that to stop he spread of the virus we have to stop it from the source.
5. He believes that the voluntary system can not control the disease.
6. That such measures may and have discouraged people from volunteering to help fight the disease.
7. i think the President because right now, the governors are doing a bad job. It should be the President's decision because he covers the entire nation while the governors are only over states.

ReplyDelete1. Kaci Hickox is a nurse who went to Sierra Leone to help people with the Ebola virus who has now come back to the United States and is refusing to be quarantined for the 21 days that New Jersey has required her to do. She is a part of the Doctors Without Borders organization.
2. New York and New Jersey.
3. They think that strict rules that New Jersey and New York are trying to enforce about quarantining are just slowing down the process of trying to find a cure.
4. He is director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. He thinks it is important that we go to West Africa and try to keep the disease in that single location instead of spreading it.
5. He is adamant about it because he does not want the disease to spread to his town or to anywhere else in the US.
6. He does not want people overreacting since there is not that many people with Ebola as of right now and we are acting solely out of fear instead of science and facts.
7. I think that we should at least give the governors a chance to make the decision and that the decision should only be handed to the president if the Ebola virus gets out of hand.
Reagan McColl
ReplyDelete1. She was a volunteer nurse in West Africa who was a part of Doctors without Borders.
2. New York and New Jersey
3. It could lower the amount of people that volunteered
4. Anthony S. Fauci is the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. He says its important that they focus on the disease and wouldnt want to stop the volunteers from coming.
5. He thinks the virus is too serious and thinks the government should help keep the people healthy.
6. He says the health workers are doing the best they can to end the spread and the disease overall.
7. The President have the final say beacause it's his responsibility to take care of the country. We can't have some states taking action against the disease and some just sitting around and watching it happen. If we're going to put an end to it, everyone needs to be on the same page.
1. Kaci Kickox who worked Doctors Without Borders
ReplyDelete2. New Jersey and New York
3. People would not want to volunteer anymore.
4. Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. To keep the infection contained.
5. He believes it is best for Americans
6. It takes away people's rights
7. Both should find an agreement but the president maybe should choose. It can go both ways though
1. She worked with doctors without borders in Africa.
ReplyDelete2. New York and New Jersey
3. Patients are quarantined with their families and doctors who come in spread the disease.
4. Anthony Fauci is the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease. He says that it is pertinent that they contain the virus.
5. Chris Christie is adamant about his thoughts because he believes that it is the best way to keep the disease from spreading.
6. Obama says this to state that we need to take a utilitarian approach, and work for the greater good and stop the disease from spreading.
7. I think the governors should decide. Medical states may accept Ebola patients and that is good for them. Other states, such as Alabama, should not allow Ebola patients in. It's for the "greater good".
