We’re not sure if the CDC director is advising on quarantine protocols or writing his Match.com profile. Maybe long walks on the beach are a good “quarantine” activity as well.
Asked what activities someone in voluntary quarantine could do, CDC director Frieden suggests “jogging in the park” to be acceptable.

It may just be time for the President to appoint a “mixed signals” czar to make absolutely sure that nobody is clear on what the hell is going on.
Dr. Frieden: Ebola "is not highly contagious."

That’s just a dude going for a jog in the park with some buddies. Totally not contagious.
You need to realize that Science™ has pinpointed the exact moment when Ebola becomes contagious in any given patient’s body, and that moment never occurs while jogging in the park. So up until that moment, you’re cool to spread bodily fluids around like confetti on New Year’s Eve.
The most important thing is to have fun with your Ebola quarantine. Go get that tattoo you’ve been thinking about or treat yourself to a high colonic.
@sarahkliff Has he answered the 'subway' question?

We’re pretty sure he would advise that making sandwiches for Subway is a perfect way to make some extra spending money during your Ebola quarantine.
Buying soup? MT @sarahkliff Asked what activities someone in voluntary quarantine could do, CDC director: “jogging in the park” acceptable.

Come on. Dr. Nancy Snyderman is a TV doctor and knows the Science™ about how to buy take out soup without being contagious.
@derekahunter @sarahkliff …jogging in the park is okay??? I suggest those CDC talking idiots take a long jog on a short pier

@sarahkliff I get it's not airborne but why risk a fall or injury that could cause bodily fluid transfer.

joggers NEVER cough or spit or sneeze @sarahkliff what activities in voluntary quarantine? CDC dir. Frieden suggests “jogging” @allahpundit

@sarahkliff @allahpundit What? No bowling? Riding the Staten Island Ferry?

It’s all good. Nothing to worry about. The CDC has got this.
