That nurse in Maine sure does love the spotlight. After Kacie Hickox returned from Sierra Leone, where she was treating Ebola patients, she was outraged when she was put in isolation by the state of New Jersey. After railing about her civil rights, she was then transferred to her home in Maine, where she was asked to remain home for the remainder of the 21 day incubation period. Well, you can’t tell Kacie Hickox what to do. No sir. She knows her rights. Although she tried to portray herself as a saintly caregiver who was being victimized, yesterday she showed herself to be anything but selfless. She defied the quarantine and went out for a bike ride with her boyfriend, which was the equivalent of giving a great big middle finger salute to those who asked her to remain home. And this, my friends, is why quarantine for those returning from Ebola-plagued regions may become mandatory. Because “rebels” like Kacie Hickox can’t be trusted to stay home and do the responsible thing. Because they “demand their rights” and to heck with anyone else. People like Kacie Hickox made it crystal clear that the rest of us must be prepared to isolate ourselves, because you sure can’t rely on others to be responsible.
