Constantine Quarantine

As we all know, Ebola has been in the middle of the stage for just about every news channel on TV. The few people from the United States that were infected with Ebola were put into a quarantine that is supposed to last about 21 days. Now, sure, the quarantine is an effective precaution to stop this spread of Ebola. But, do the people of the US understand that it is NOT an airborne disease? This is not the movie Outbreak. Just by sitting in a movie theater two rows in front of a person who could possibly have Ebola does not mean that you will catch it. This is why the quarantine exists. For example, in nursing homes bacterial infections like Clostridium Difficle (C. Diff) can be caught by physical contact. This is why outside of the person's or persons' room, we place a green contact precautions sign on the outside so people know that we should not get in their room and just cop a feel on them or anything in the room. So, I understand that this quarantine is going on. Sure, we don't want half of the United States to be ridden with Ebola. But the least we can do is make it more comfortable for the person in the quarantine. The nurse whom went to Liberia complained about how she had "no contact" with the rest of the world. That's the point of a quarantine. She has a cell phone, she has plenty of "contact" with the world. Also, people need to realize that symptoms of Ebola take quite a bit of time to become prominent. It's not like we're going to discover that the a person has Ebola within 2 days. The reason she was put into quarantine in the first place was because she was a nurse traveling from Liberia, that was experiencing an outbreak of Ebola.
