deprived of a panic.

2. Actually, in comparison to Dallas, things happened pretty smoothly with this, around here.

The visitor from Liberia was self-monitoring her temperature twice a day, as she should be. The minute she registered a fever, she notified the pertinent people, and was isolated. The folks she was staying with voluntarily self-quarantined pending additional results. Providence brought her in under strict protocols and separate from any other patients.

No one freaked out, no one was a selfish dick about separating themselves from the public until the risk was ascertained, everyone handled it calmly, rationally, and as safely and conscientiously as possible.

That's Oregon for you.

4. That's exactly how it went with Dr. Spencer as well.

His fiancée and friends also self-quarantined.
