NBC’s Dr. Nancy Snyderman Violates Ebola Quarantine To Make Takeout Run

It’s all about priorities, people. Sure, a quarantine means cutting off all contact with the outside world. But what if you just don’t feel like it anymore? What if you’re on TV? What if you’ve really got the munchies?

Jason Molinet, NYDN:

The New Jersey Health Department turned into soup Nazis when it learned NBC News reporter Dr. Nancy Snyderman violated a voluntary quarantine placed on her and her crew after one member contracted Ebola while working in Liberia.

Snyderman, 62, NBC’s chief medical editor, was spotted sitting in her car outside of The Peasant Grill in Hopewell, N.J., Thursday afternoon, Planet Princeton reported. A man with her picked up the take-out order.

Snyderman is a regular at The Peasant Grill, which is known for its soup, TMZ reported.

New Jersey officials made the quarantine mandatory late Friday after news broke that Snyderman, wearing sun glasses and with pulled-back hair, was spotted out and about.

Let’s hope Snyderman and her colleagues don’t have it. But what’s the point of a quarantine if you don’t, y’know, quarantine yourself? It’d be one thing if her house was on fire, but she went out to get some damn soup.

The Peasant Grill. How perfect. After all, the peasants are the ones who have to follow the rules. Have they ever been on the Today Show? I didn’t think so. Now hurry up with the important person’s order, proles.

I guess I always thought doctors were supposed to treat diseases, not spread them. If Nancy Snyderman hasn’t, it’s not for lack of trying.
