        @Atul_Gawande It's a purely political decision by Cuomo & Christie; "security theater" meant for consumption by uninformed, panicking masses

        @Atul_Gawande @nxthompson Many people have a very limited understanding of risk.

        @Atul_Gawande Tell returning #Ebola HCW to fly to DC, take a three week vacation in WY.. Silly to apply different standards in my state NJ.

        @Atul_Gawande Our reptilian hindbrain's assessment of risk is out of whack, yet again. How many so terrified of Ebola have gotten flu shots?

        @Atul_Gawande Couldn't returning health workers be rewarded with a 3-week stay at a remote, contained resort? Economical overall, & humane

        @Atul_Gawande couldn't agree more. Esp. in diverse NYC this reinforces the micro panic vs modeling macro ideals of global citizenship.

        @Atul_Gawande A lot of $'s spent on tracing NYC Ebola patient's contacts. A 21 Day quarantine is better & let's pay workers for lost wages

        @Atul_Gawande Might there be also be some feeling "when I come back there will be people to check on me and care quickly if I get sick"?

        @Atul_Gawande Really? Room for debate. Current protocol is very minimal. Patients here deserve protections.Did existing protocol fail?

        @Atul_Gawande Full quarantine no, but returning to see patients? I wouldn't want an OB fresh from field delivering my child.
