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.

Wasn't Snyderman in her own car the whole time?  If she never got out of her car (except at home, obviously) how did she put anyone else at risk?[/quote]

Snyderman was seen dining in a crowded NYC restaurant.

While the nurse checked with the CDC on her way home, she never should have gone to Akron.  She wasn't feeling well and her wants trumped everyone else's needs. [/quote]
Relax. Nobody is going to get sick from eating with Nancy Snyderman or flying to Akron because that's not how Ebola is spread.[/quote]

Dude, look, while Nancy Snyderman doesn't have ebola, it's not a huge issue but she still acted irresponsibly and set a bad precedent.   Now, the nurse who flew to Akron, could have infected someone.  I think many of you are not fully understanding how it spread and what fluids transmit the disease.  One symptom is profusive sweating and the sweat is a bodily fluid that contains the virus and is known to spread the virus.  Sweaty sheets are contagious for 10 days after they have dried and have been known to cause others to become ill.

The stewardess could have touched the rim of the nurse's glass and then touched her face.  Really, that's all it takes. [/quote]
