Great article at Canada Free Press – […]  Mary Mallon, “the most dangerous woman in America” was born in Ireland and later worked as a cook for wealthy families in New York.
She was the first known carrier of typhoid fever in the USA, and although without any symptoms, she was still contagious and continued to spread the disease to at least 53 persons (who spread it to others), three of whom died.
It is thought she infected 50 others who died but it could not be determined since she changed her name so often. She refused to stop working as a cook and was confined to a hospital where she died 20 years later.
Mary worked as a cook from 1900 to 1907 in New York City area and within two weeks of her employment, residents developed typhoid fever. Then she moved to New York City where members of the family for whom she worked developed fever and diarrhea, and the laundress died.
Mallon then went to work for a lawyer; she quit after seven of the eight people in that household became ill. She took other positions in Long Island, and left a trail of infection everywhere. She always resigned when family members became ill. (more…)

The erosion of state’s rights, and the triumph of optics over common sense continues:

FORT KENT Maine (Reuters) – Declaring Ebola fears in the United States “not entirely rational,” a judge rejected Maine’s bid for a quarantine on a nurse who treated victims of the disease in West Africa but tested negative for it, and instead imposed limited restrictions.

CANADA – Canada is following in Australia’s footsteps and is suspending visa applications for residents and nationals of the West African countries battling Ebola.
The federal government signalled it would stop issuing visas in the worker, student or visitor class and won’t issue any pending permanent residency visas for people from those countries either.
Any applications already in the system will also not be processed at this time. (more…)

Keeping in mind that NBC’s Dr. Nancy Snyderman lied about her maintaining self-quarantine protocols and went shopping for her favorite soup….  Keeping in mind that Dr. Craig Spencer lied about his maintaining self-quarantine protocols and went to hang out with friends, eat at restaurants’ and go bowling, and …. Keeping in mind that Thomas Duncan lied about his exposure and risk….. and keeping in mind that every returning military member will be quarantined for 21 days….
The whining and arrogance of this woman really is astounding.   Clearly displaying an attitude of petulant selfishness as she says she knows better.  Watch:

Here’s another tidbit just released that Thomas Duncan and Criag Spencer have in common – THEY BOTH LIED TO POLICE.  I swear if the media keep digging they’ll find out Dr. Spencer left Guinea because he knew he’d been exposed to the virus just like Thomas Duncan.
Spencer only confessed to lying about quarantine AFTER his credit card and metrorail card were checked and he was busted. Until the police checked his credit card data Dr. Spencer was saying he never left his home.  Samantha Power demands we call them heroes.
(New York)  The city’s first Ebola patient initially lied to authorities about his travels around the city following his return from treating disease victims in Africa, law-enforcement sources said.
Dr. Craig Spencer at first told officials that he isolated himself in his Harlem apartment — and didn’t admit he rode the subways, dined out and went bowling until cops looked at his MetroCard the sources said.
“He told the authorities that he self-quarantined. Detectives then reviewed his credit-card statement and MetroCard and found that he went over here, over there, up and down and all around,” a source said. (more…)

Liberalism on display.  Is it any wonder why the vast majority of Americans do not support the selfish protestations of this Democrat?

(Bangor Daily) Attorneys for a nurse released from isolation in New Jersey after returning to the U.S. from West Africa say she will not comply with Maine health officials’ requirements that she remain under quarantine at home for 21 days.
Kaci Hickox, who treated Ebola patients in Sierra Leone and shows no symptoms of the virus, agreed to refrain from going out in public for two days, said Steven Hyman of the New York law firm McLaughlin & Stern. She traveled to Maine on Monday by private car after her release from New Jersey, where she was isolated against her will in a tent outside University Hospital in Newark after she flew into New York on Friday.
“She doesn’t want to agree to continue to be confined to a residence beyond the two days,” Hyman said. (more…)

Trust me, the headline makes more sense than Josh Earnest who has also found a new category, “civilian government“.

Spare yourself a few moments by forwarding the video to @1:30 and watch/listen.

Notes: Why is the media avoiding the obvious?
The Italian government forced Major General Darryl Williams into quarantine, along with his entire staff, yesterday upon his return from Africa. In addition Spain and Germany stated they would force all U.S. military into quarantine on bases in their respective nations. No media has questioned the white House about this yet.
The U.S. Army responded to the Italian, German and Spanish quarantine threat by discussing an overall U.S. Army quarantine as it relates to returning service members.
It appears the entire construct of the Military Quarantine is simply to avoid sunlight on three ally nations who have given President Obama and the U.S. the back of their hand.

Initially we were on the fence about being able to identify her political ideology. Not any longer. She’s a clear cut typical progressive democrat.
The logic she uses to protest against the quarantine identifies her as clearly a Democrat. [Transcription and emphasis mine]

@2:38 “… and no-one knows, no-one can predict if I will develop Ebola or not in the next 21 days. And most aid workers who come back will not develop Ebola. So to quarantine everyone ‘in case’, you know, when you cannot predict who will develop Ebola or not; and to make me stay for 21 days, to not be with my family, to put me through this emotional and physical stress, is completely unacceptable”.

Here comes the planning of a lawsuit against the State of New Jersey. (more…)

(USA TODAY) Aides to President Obama are criticizing decisions by three states to quarantine people who are returning from Ebola-stricken West Africa.

Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and United Nations ambassador Samantha Power said quarantines may discourage health workers from traveling to West Africa to help block the disease at its source. (more…)
