And once again...
....the great (in size) white hope of the GOP proves he is an ass...
A Letter from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Dean Klag to Governor Chris Christie October 27, 2014 Governor Chris Christie Office of the Governor P.O. Box 001 Trenton, NJ 08625 Dear Governor Christie, I am writing to indicate in the strongest possible terms my objection to your policy of a 21-day quarantine for health care workers traveling from West Africa to New Jersey and, especially, its application to our graduate Kaci Hickox. Kaci spent six weeks in Sierra Leone with Doctors Without Borders/ Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), treating patients with ‪#‎Ebola‬. She has tested negative for Ebola and, according to news reports, has no symptoms. She poses no risk to her fellow citizens. While I applaud your concern for the health of the citizens of New Jersey and recognize your responsibility to protect their health, I do not think that this policy does so. Instead, it increases paranoia without materially protecting health. Instead, I ask that you follow the current CDC guidelines, as we do for our faculty, staff or students who are returning from working in West Africa. Thank you for your consideration of this request to do what is right for the citizens of the United States and for the people of West Africa. Sincerely, Michael J.
