Judge Charles C. Lavediere overturned the decision of State officials, borne of a desire for an
excess of caution given Ebola's destructive potential, to quarantine
nurse Kaci Hickox in her home after she returned from an Ebola danger
zone.
Citing [his understanding of] "Science," the judge ordered the "stay at home" order lifted, since he is sure the nurse cannot be infectious unless and UNTIL the symptoms arise. But can His Arrogance guarantee that a person is not infectious with Ebola one minute before symptoms appear? Five minutes? An hour or two? What exactly is the time frame? By what means have we determined whether a person is infectious minutes or even hours before first symptoms arise?
The State took the position that Ebola let loose is such a terror that every reasonable step should be taken to prevent further outbreaks, The demand for 100% compliance with protective gear requirements is not unreasonable. The demand for full protection from the possibility of another person getting Ebola is not unreasonable. So it is clear that his honor is merely imposing his emotional or political preference and, further, is willing to arrogate to himself the protection of the public health. Once again, the People's policy is over-ruled by one person, in a robe and wig.
For all our sakes, let's hope the judge gets away with his ASSumption.
