There would be a 100,000 new cases of Ebola per week in Chicago alone, if it were to happen.

My pitch: Fat Farms in the Southwest.

The weather is terrific at this time. They are ALREADY laid out for health oriented living — and normally hold guests for weeks and months at a time.

They are also, typically, set apart on big open spreads, plenty of outdoor living near to hand.

True solo isolation may not be practical, but I can well imagine clusters of similarly situated souls waiting out quarantine together. They’d just — generally — keep their distance.

That’s a LOT easier to do on a fat farm — with bungalow style rooms — where one can avoid being cramped in — yet still maintain separation.

A caller on Rush today suggested that a quarantine is a very small sacrifice to ask given the demands we place on the young men and women in the military. I would agree.

Meanwhile, Kaci Hickox is back in Maine. But it appears, unlike what I read yesterday, that her quarantine there will be voluntary rather than mandatory: In Maine, the state also said there would be a quarantine for Hickox. At first, the quarantine was made to sound as if it was mandatory, but the state later said it was voluntary. Gov. Paul LePage's spokeswoman said that the administration will take "appropriate action" if Hickox doesn't comply with the in-home voluntary quarantine. But she declined say what that meant. So, it's still confusion all around.
