Two Male Strippers Quarantined After Sitting Near Ebola Nurse on Plane
Two male strippers have placed themselves under voluntary quarantine on the advice of the CDC after finding out they sat less than 3 feet away from Ebola-stricken nurse Amber Vinson on her flight from Cleveland to Dallas.
Axl Goode and Taylor Cole will have to stay in their homes for 21 days and remain 3 feet away from anyone they live with. They're also forbidden from boarding commercial fights and cruise ships. Goode told the AP he expects their voluntary quarantine will soon become mandatory.
Goode, 26, is a writer and cover model for Ellora's Cave, the publisher behind Backdoor Teen Mom Farrah Abraham's erotic novel series. He and Cole, a fellow author, model and dancer, were in Ohio for the publisher's annual convention, Romanticon.

After learning from his dad that Vinson had been on his return flight, Cole contacted the CDC. He was on hold for 81 minutes, he wrote on Facebook in a detailed post about his experience.
The two have begun receiving donations from friends and fans to offset the cost of missing three weeks of work, the Daily Mail reported.
Goode and Cole told a local CBS station via Skype that they were upset Vinson was allowed to fly despite having a fever. The CDC said her temperature was 99.5, and a Ebola check would have kicked in at 101.4.
They both intend to abide by the quarantine and stay at home, taking their temperatures twice daily as instructed.
