ORIGINAL: DesideriScuri With an incubation period of up to 21 days (have read that up to 4.1% of patients could see incubation periods over 25 days), and the carrier being contagious during incubation, quarantines could have amazingly vast implications. So? Would these people rather be dead than quarantined? More importantly; where does their right to be an ignorant ass (refusing quarantine/travel to dangerous places and bringing germs to the rest of us) end and my right to not get ill begin? Normally, I'm all about individual rights. truth be told: I am, here, as well but in this case, it's my individual rights with which I am most concerned. Around here, people like to bandy about terms like "thisphobia" or "thatphobia". I will tell on myself, here: I AM a germophobe. So, you were on an airplane with Eric Duncan. Now, you've been exposed, through no fault of your own. Now, you get to be quarantined for 3-4 weeks to make sure you're not going to accidentally, expose someone else. Everybody on that plane could be quarantined for a month. Is it their fault that someone else made a shit-poor decision, or lied to be able to fly?
