She was in a fucking tent with a bucket for a toilet, no shower, no tv, no reading material, no cell phone and she was refused her attorney in addition to be held by an armed guard.
Hickox slammed the quarantine in an interview on CNN, describing hours of questioning after arriving at Newark Liberty International Airport and her transfer to a hospital isolation tent.
What was her exact tent conditions? I've been in the isolation unit (well, visited a family member in tier 1 of it) and I've seen the isolation "bubbles" where they keep people with serious infectious ailment, or other places where air can't get in or out. It's deep inside the hospital and yeah, I can see why they wouldn't let a phone get in there.
Bucket for toilet = bedpan? Also, fairly common for that.
Armed guard = Yes, there was a cop at the ICU wing for check-ins, since everyone in there was a special case.
I'm sure it was really boring, and I'm sure it was crappy. But I'd like to see her exact location. When I think "she was in a tent", I picture a camp with her suffering. When I think back to the hospital isolation unit, it's secure - she may hav a deadly disease and she flew into USA after direct contact with ebola - and yes, bedpans, armed guards, zero items allowed in... I can see that.
RIGHT NOW - MSNBC is about to have the attorney on, to talk about her treatment.
