New York and New Jersey's Ebola Quarantines Are an Insane Overreaction

Sure, it plays well with the people who are scared and don't know the
science, but the New York-New Jersey Ebola quarantine (despite Sunday's
'loosening') is counterproductive.
.
With the West African Ebola epidemic still raging out of control, killing
20 people a day in Sierra Leone alone, Americans, confronted with their
first few cases, are taking on the tough questions: Can Ebola be
transmitted by a bowling ball? What about co-location in a hipster coffee
bar near the High Line? And-OMG-what about Uber-based transmission?
.
Right on cue, as if in an attempt to push the discussion ever farther
towards irrelevancy, the twin towers of presidential posturing, Governors
Chris Christie and Andrew Cuomo, agreed to hog the spotlight together in
order to get presidentially tough over an issue that needed no
decisiveness at all: what to do about the small trickle of health-care
volunteers who return to the States from West Africa? Tired, apparently,
of all the goddamned evidenced-based pussy-footing coming from people who
understand science and public health, the Two Big Guys made their
kick-butt pronouncement: They are throwing those weenie volunteers into
the 21-day slammer, no ifs or ands or buts. Goddammit.
.
With this they are further tarring the poor schmuck who is fighting off a
life-threatening infection: Dr. Craig Spencer. Remember him? Remember 55
percent death rates from Ebola? Yet Spencer's current predicament has
taken a distant back seat to the pressing worries of 8 million people who
are at zero risk but appear to want to feel threatened. It is an odd
inversion-dumping on a guy who is sick and at real risk for death and
maybe a little heroic (after all, he chose to go to Guinea to help the
dying, chaotic masses) and focusing instead on his "selfish disregard for
the public" as he traipsed across the subway system to access the cultured
and well turned out parallel world of Brooklyn and its contents.
