Point is he infected two people and one of them was extremely irresponsible.  She wasn;t feeling well when she left for Akron and she certainly wasn't feeling well when she returned. She knew the risks of exposure and she decided her wants trumped the need to contain the virus.  Dr. Nancy Snyderman acted in an equally selfish way but was lucky to have not contracted or spread the virus.  [/quote]

I'm with you on Snyderman, but Amber gets a pass.  She asked the CDC what to do.  They are at fault.  Amber may be guilty of a foolish decision, but not, I believe, a selfish one.[/quote]

I agree about Amber- she sought clearance from the CDC before she traveled. Snyderman, OTOH, was fucking irresponsible and what she did as a physician was borderline unethical.

Snyderman should have been fired by NBC.

Right, much worse to drive around in your own car with no symptoms  and not get out, then have an active fever and get on a plane with 170 people.  Clearly you are a master of risk measuring.[/quote]

One person cleared her travel with the CDC or at least made them aware that was running a temperature but was not told to avoid travel. The other is a doctor who made a big deal about a self-imposed quarantine because she had been exposed to the cameraman who had ebola -- and then her desire for a fricking soup was so overwhelming that she had to violate the quarantine.[/quote]

Let's be cleared -- CDC said it did not prohibit her from traveling (which it should have) but never gave her permission to do so.  Putting that aside, you are lost in irrelevant details.  Sick person on plane more of a risk than not sick person in her own car.  Never is likely to turn out to be a high risk but the nurse's behavior was clearly higher risk than Snyderman's.[/quote]
