[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When booking flights I am avoiding anything that connects through or lands at Dulles, Dallas, Newark, JFK, etc.  I am also not booking on united.[/quote]

Why wouldn't you book on United? You might want to avoid American - they are hubbed in Dallas.

Just read this gem about Nurse 2, now identified as Amber Joy Vinson (who is being transferred to Emory): "The nurse was put into isolation within 90 minutes of reporting she had a fever."

NINETY MINUTES? I'm curious how this reporting process works.

Her plane landed at Dallas at 8:16 PM Monday night, Dallas Time.

Wednesday morning at 2 AM Dallas time, Frontier airlines was notified that a patient that had been on that plane had tested positive for Ebola.

We know that it takes at least several hours to test for Ebola. I believe her test was sent off to the state lab in Austin, which is 4 hours away by car or about a 45 minute flight.

Do the freaking math. She probably came home Monday night, self-reported Tuesday morning with a fever, and test came in positive Tuesday night.

BS that she wasn't contagious on that flight. Absolute BS.
