Now I feel trapped in my apartment and afraid to leave even though I want and need to...

I realize this may anger people, but I feel it was very reckless of the Dr. to move about the city (especially on public transportation) before the 21 day possible incubation period was over. Now because of one person millions of people in NY have ebola on the brain. All because he wanted to go bowling with friends. I just can't wrap my head around the fact that someone who is caring and compassionate enough to risk their life to help others would then return home and endanger their loved ones (?!) It's unethical.
He's not as caring and compassionate as you thought. He is selfish, just like Nancy Snyderman.

People can't be trusted to protect others on their own. They must be compelled to do so by others, like the nurse in NJ who is whining about her freedom.

You'll likely be okay if you go out. Were you in the same car? If not, you're probably okay.
