I am a health care provider myself...and this is how I, as in my opinion, feel about it. If I had been directly exposed or had come in close contact with a patient who is sick and i appear to be Asymptomatic ....I would rather be quarantine for 21 days just to be on the safe side...I wouldnt want to infect anyone period. As HC providers, we are exposing ourselves everyday to diseases. We do BSI Basic Substance Isolation that is to protect ourselves from the patient and the patient from us. The Ebola Virus is serious and I am not minimizing it--but we are so afraid of the Known diseases than we are the Unknown: Why is that? There are so many diseases that we come in contact with almost everyday whether or not you are a HC provider...STDs Blood,Semen, Vaginal Secretion (body fluids) are you using condoms? Various Types of Hepatitis...again you can come in contact with that...directly or indirectly(ingested).TB...do you cover your mouth when you cough And or Wash your hands. What I have not heard the CDC say at this point is...if a person is asymptomatic they can possibly become carriers and is able to transmit this disease. So much is not known about Ebola...it can mutate; now what? So why not take Every precaution since there isnt yet a vaccine. I also applaud and Pray for Everyone who on the front line doing their jobs..not because they have to but because they want too., God is Still In Control.
