Rep. Garrett: Feds’ Resistance to Quarantines ‘Unbelievable’

Tuesday, 28 Oct 2014 07:01 PM

According to CBS poll, conducted Oct. 23-27, 80 percent of Americans support mandatory quarantines for U.S. citizens and legal residents arriving from West Africa. Just 17 percent said they believe those without symptoms should be allowed to move freely.

The federal government’s resistance to quarantining people who have returned to the United States after being in contact with Ebola patients is “unbelievable,” says Rep. Scott Garrett, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee.

“It’s all just amazing and unbelievable. Talk to anybody, to a proverbial man on the street, and they will say that it’s as simple as talking to a child. If you have somebody outside of your house that’s a threat to you, what do you do? You lock the front door,” Garrett, a New Jersey Republican, said Tuesday on “The Steve Malzberg Show” on Newsmax TV.
