NBC’s Medical Correspondent is Quarantined for Ebola but still goes out anyway.
NBC Chief Medical Correspondent Nancy Snyderman is now under police surveillance after she was spotted out in public in New Jersey last week. According to reports, Snyderman and three other crew members who worked with the freelance cameraman Ashoka Mukpo in Liberia agrred to stay in quarantine for 21 days in an agreement between the Centers for Disease Control and state officials. Days after Mukpo tested positive for the Ebola virus, reports indicate that Snyderman was getting food from the Peasant Grill in Hopewell, New Jersey.

Dr. Nancy Snyderman, the NBC on-air doctor whose cameraman was diagnosed with ebola, is supposed to be under quarantine for 21 days. She happens to live in my neighborhood in Princeton, NJ, where her reputation as a bit of an arrogant specimen had me idly remarking last night that if ever there were someone likely to flout the quarantine and leave their house, it was her.
Fast forward to today: my wife and a friend are virtually certain they spotted her in a car outside a restaurant in Hopewell, NJ within the past hour. She sent a guy in to retrieve her food and remained in the car. It appeared that as soon as she thought she’d been spotted, she looked away and put on sunglasses. My wife’s friend immediately called both the Hopewell and Princeton police, who said they’d “look into it.” [Gawker]
