[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]During a teleconference with reporters Wednesday, Centers for Disease Control Director Dr. Thomas Frieden said passengers on Frontier Airlines Flight 1143 are at “extremely low risk” of being exposed.

Second health care worker tests positive for Ebola in Dallas
Health-care worker Amber Vinson, who’d gone to Ohio to visit her mother, was not symptomatic when she boarded the return flight to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. But, Frieden said, Vinson did have a low-grade fever of 99.5 at the time. And because of her contact with Thomas Eric Duncan, Dallas’ initial Ebola patient, she should not have been traveling at all.

This statement says she had a fever on the flight!!! She also knew she had cared for Duncan. This really doesn't add up.[/quote]

Well, this points to the complete failure of the CDC and the supposed protocols in place to protect the public.  We've been assured that people in close contact with Duncan were being monitored and / or in self mposed quarantine.  That the CDC had a team on the ground in Texas that was monitorin temperatures twice a day, etc, of anyone who came into contact with Duncan before and during his treatment at the hospital ... And yet this woman - the "second nurse" who contracted Ebola - was able to fly to Ohio and back without any issue.

I'm a liberal too but honestly, who the f is running this show and why is this spinning out of control so quickly?  [/quote]
