Woman is at Inova VA Hospital Center now. The parking at Pentagon has been closed off (see above).

Looks like the 'hysterical' ones with the medical backgrounds have been right about the situation/threat all along.[/quote]

WTH bring her to a new hospital with no Ebola?  Shouldn't they have just brought her to NIH that has the proper facilities and currently treating Pham?  It's in the area.[/quote]

Doubtful that she actually has Ebola.  Doesn't make sense to take people there who haven't been officially diagnosed.[/quote]

Yes, you idioit, like Duncan????  We sent him home because he hadn't been 'officially diagnosed'.  Look how well that has turned out.  Any vomiting person from a West African Ebola country is ASSUMED to have Ebola until otherwise proven.  This is how you CONTAIN/STOP an epidemic.  You don't wait for the worst case scenario.

PP, you have a wonderful future as the next head of the CDC.[/quote]

I seem to have missed the part where someone advocated sending her home.  Inova Fairfax has announced that they are ready, willing and able to accept possible Ebola cases.  There is no reason to send people to NIH pre-diagnosis.  She probably has malaria or the stomach flu.

From the NIH website:

[i]"Unlike most hospitals, the Clinical Center does not routinely provide standard diagnostic and treatment services. Admission is selective: patients are chosen by Institute physicians solely because they have an illness being studied by those Institutes."[/i]

They do not provide diagnostic services.[/quote]
