“Doctors returning from treating Ebola patients in West Africa should be quarantined for at least three weeks, Representative Jason Chaffetz said today as Congress held a second hearing on the response to the virus’ outbreak.

Chaffetz, a Utah Republican, said a New York City doctor’s self-monitoring for Ebola symptoms after he returned to the U.S. “didn’t work.” Doctors should be in “some sort of quarantine or isolation” for 21 to 42 days, he said.

“He went into West Africa to help people who have Ebola,” Chaffetz said in an interview today on Bloomberg Television before the hearing. “You gotta love a person like that, but for them to come back, and then be out in the public in such a populous city like New York City. I think that scares a lot of people.”

The hearing by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee is the second in less than two weeks to focus on the Obama administration’s response to Ebola, and is being held a day after a New York City doctor tested positive for the virus after returning from treating patients in the affected region.“* Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian (The Point With Ana Kasparian), John Iadarola (TYT University) and Desi Doyen (Green News Report) break it down.
