Maybe they shouldn't be flying in a commercial aircraft with other people. That's what I got from the story.
That also happens to be just what she did.

The only thing I'm arguing against is the calls for her arrest.

Are people getting infected from commercial flights or from hospitals?

The hysteria is strong in this thread!
I get the feeling half of you would start sacrificing Duncans family, the nursing staff and the CDC to some demonic power if it will make the badness go away. Take a deep breath people, you are still more likely to be shot today then catch Ebola tomorrow.
Answers:
-Ebola won't get to the US.
-If it would by chance get to the US, our hospitals can handle it.
-The CDC has got this all under control.
Oh, and
You can't get it by sitting next to someone on a bus.
Responses to Answers:
Whew.
Oh, good, no worries then.
That makes me feel SO much better.
I think I'll plan a bus trip.

Nope, (I know you're being sarcastic but I still had to point this out for those unaware) they're saying to use the 3 foot rule. There goes the "not by sitting next to someone on a bus theory as no cause for alarm" theory because that person is definitely closer than 3 feet ! An expert this morning was saying if this second nurse went to the grocery store, then the cashier is going to have to be contacted and traced because that is within the 3 foot rule.

I'm calling for her to be arrested. Shove her into a prison. That should cut down the prison population and save some tax payer money

nobody here is calling for her to be arrested.
i think several people have said if she recovers she should face charges....

she was caring for duncan when he was sickest...so, why was she not on a watch list?
she should have been.
i think she should face charges. as a nurse that currently works in healthcare she needs to be held to a higher standard than others.
she knew she was exposed to ebola.....that means she knew she could have been infected....and, she traveled anyway.
being a selfish dumb ass is not a legit defense....

IF this woman survives ... and if anyone gets infected because of her abject stupidity in jumping on an airplane and traveling while on 'Ebola Watch' ... then she needs to be prosecuted for assault or whatever the heck they can prosecute her with. Seriously.

Somehow, probably won't save anyone any money. Is rather funny that people harp about individual rights or liberties, but when it gets down to it, they throw that aside and only care about themselves. .

Yes you have, and she has been called a terrorist:
