Title: Free Ebola: Obama Demands End to State Ebola Quarantines Post by: apples on October 27, 2014, 10:53:04 AM http://www.frontpagemag.com/2014/dgreenfield/free-ebola-obama-demands-end-to-state-ebola-quarantines/
Quote It?s bad enough that Obama rejects an Ebola travel ban because he thinks we need more Ebola, but he?s attacking Democrats and Republicans who are doing the responsible thing by enacting quarantines. The Obama administration has been pushing the governors of New York and New Jersey to reverse their decision ordering all medical workers returning from West Africa who had contact with Ebola patients to be quarantined, an administration official said on Sunday. But both governors, Andrew M. Cuomo of New York and Chris Christie of New Jersey, stood by their decision, saying that the federal guidelines did not go far enough. ?It?s too serious a situation to leave it to the honor system of compliance,? Cuomo said of the decision. Ever since Mr. Cuomo, a Democrat, and Mr. Christie, a Republican, announced the plan at a hastily called news conference on Friday evening, top administration officials have been speaking with Mr. Cuomo daily and have also been in touch with Mr. Christie, trying to get them to rescind the order. But in that time, two more states ? Illinois and Florida ? announced that they were instituting similar policies. |
