Christie Has "Second Thoughts," NJ Releases Quarantined Nurse
Tested negative for Ebola, was working in Ebola-stricken West Africa
New Jersey: A US nurse, whose enforced quarantine in New Jersey sparked a furious backlash after she returned from treating Ebola patients in West Africa, was to be discharged on Monday, officials said.
Kaci Hickox complained bitterly about being placed under mandatory quarantine Friday, claiming she was made to feel like a criminal after being isolated in a tent without a shower or flush toilet.

I'm actually for mandatory quarantine for health care workers coming back from treating Ebola patients. Don't get me wrong, they should be given every incentive possible for that work, but part of the agreement should include quarantine to watch for symptoms. Yes, they should have some accommodations, like flushing toilets, a shower, WiFi, cable TV, etc. But they should be watching for symptoms and they should not be around the general public if they start showing any symptoms within the 21 days.
