I say offer her quarantine. Then if she refuses and infects somebody, she's criminally liable as she was warned and offered a solution that would prevent spreading infection. If she develops symptoms and One or more die and it can be proven beyond a resonable doubt that they caught it from her, (and she lives) she should be tried in court for their deaths. After all, if she acted irresponsibly and directly caused the deaths of others, she should be punished.
I see this no differently than one of us being tried for murder because we were told that guns were dangerous and not to point it at things we didnt want to destroy, and instead we said "Meh. I'm OK. I know what I'm doing. I wont kill anyone." and then accidentally shot somebody while playing around pointing it at things we dont want to destroy.
When you get sick, you tell people your "rights" are being violated? Do you believe it is a "right" to remain disease-free?
Influenza could easily wipe out an immunocomprimised person. It is said to kill tens of thousands of people per year. How much freedom must be eliminated to create the perception of safety you are seeking?
Shall we also ask the government to lock up her boyfriend, family, and friends? They all must suffer so that we can feel safe from biology.
If you have the flu, and someone "catches it" from you and ends up dying, do you think you should be imprisoned for murder?
Rambone: Am I being detained?Consider this scenario:

Rambone, Do you really hate people that much?
So, how many times does she have to be medically cleared before the politicians and panic stricken masses will let her live her life? She's been cleared twice now, by people that actually have experience and degrees in medicine, unlike reporters and INGO members. She doesn't have ebola, why should she abide by some asshats quarantine?
Will do chief!
I will even include pneumonia, which kills 40,000 - 70,000 each year in the United States.
Federal isolation and quarantine are authorized for tuberculosis; each state has their own law on the same. Monitoring and testing goes on regularly in both people and animals and is often required for certain movements or to go to certain locations.I will also include tuberculosis, which kills 2,000,000 each year worldwide, is highly contagious, and killed 536 in the United States
MRSA is generally spread by healthcare workers. Presents an interesting conundrum for the sick, obviously, but it's not a disease likely spread on the street.I will even include MRSA, which killed 18,000 in the United States in 2005.

Pneumonia isn't very often caused by a contagious disease, at least not n recent years in this country. It's often secondary to other diseases and conditions.
