Outrage Over Ebola Quarantine, Brazil's Dilma Rousseff Wins, #TaintedMeat
Here's what I'm reading up this lovely Monday morning:
- After essentially defying scientific wisdom, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo changes course on mandatory quarantines for Ebola health aid workers returning from West Africa.
- The nurse who was placed in a quarantine isolation tent, Kaci Hickox, now says that she's suing because her civil rights were violated.
- Speaking of civil rights violations, the family of Thomas Eric Duncan wonders why more wasn't done to save his life.
- Gia Soriano, who was shot by Jaylen Fryberg in a school rampage on Friday, has died.
- The captain who abandoned a sinking ferry in South Korea, leaving more than 300 people--mostly school kids--to die, may face the death penalty.
- Ukraine's pro-EU parties take the lead.
- Meanwhile, Brazil's Dilma Rousseff secures a second term, which means stocks took a hit.
- Defense contractors are still making a pretty penny from a failed Army intelligence program.
- It was bad, or maybe it wasn't so bad, that Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella told women not to ask for raises--and Rick Smith mansplains why.
- #TaintedMeat trends after last night's episode of "The Walking Dead" (warning: spoilers!).
- A noninvasive home colon screening test debuts today.
