While Dr. Nancy Snyderman's reports on the Ebola virus have become a regular part of NBC News's daily coverage on the epidemic, it seems she has had a hard time following her own advice. Snyderman and her news team spent several days reporting live from Liberia, and when one of the cameramen in her entourage was diagnosed with Ebola, they all returned to the States. While Snyderman has been phoning in her NBC reports due to a voluntary quarantine, the doctor has not exactly stayed indoors.
The entire news crew was said to have an extremely low chance of contracting Ebola, but they all had agreed to spend 21 days on lockdown just to be safe. Unfortunately, last Thursday Snyderman was spotted out and about in Hopewell, New Jersey. She was spotted outside The Peasant Grill, a restaurant known for its soup and being a location that Snyderman frequents often. A man actually went inside to get the doctor's dinner, but just by being in public she broke the quarantine and the CDC was none too happy.
Within 24 hours, Snyderman and the rest of her news team were on mandatory lockdown by the New Jersey Health Department, and they are expected to stay under quarantine until Oct. 21. Ashoka Mukpo, a freelance cameraman working for NBC, was diagnosed with Ebola Oct. 1 and, if none of his coworkers develop symptoms within 21 days, they will be in the clear.
Sources close to NBC said the network is appalled to have their chief medical correspondent directing people on how to prevent Ebola from spreading while not following her own guidelines. Snyderman has stayed silent on this situation, and NBC has yet to publicly comment.
Are you surprised Snyderman did not take that voluntary quarantine as seriously as she maybe should have? Tell us your thoughts in the comments below.
