2nd Healthcare Worker Infected With Ebola; Takes Commercial Flight With 99.5 Fever

[Silhouette]

Well the dangerous & stupid continues... Oh a perfect system is good until you involve human beings..

They didn't even want to release her name. But thankfully political-correctness was suspended in order to potentially save more lives.

The second health-care worker diagnosed with Ebola had a fever of 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit before boarding a passenger jet on Monday, a day before she reported symptoms of the virus and was tested, according to public health officials.
Even though there appeared to be little risk for the other people on that flight, she should not have traveled that way, Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said during a news conference Wednesday.
“She should not have flown on a commercial airline,” Frieden said. http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2014/10/15/ebola-stricken-nurse-flew-on-a-passenger-plane-a-day-before-being-diagnosed/ [/quote]

The health-care worker was not named by public health officials, but a spokesman for Cleveland identified her Amber Vinson. Family members told Reuters and the Dallas Morning News that Vinson is a nurse at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital.

Well, politics aside. We are now officially an ebola hot spot and will be subject to our own travellers being restricted abroad.

Wonder how the stock market is going to handle this?

The Obama Administration should immediately halt all travelers with VISAs stamped from any of the affected African nations. Then we ourselves will have to be "symptom free" for the required quarantine period. And I hope by that time our stock market hasn't become too volatile. This little ebola issue is much bigger than just a horrible and frightening disease.

You'll see.

He should have cut travel off long ago.

Yep.

I could tell by the absence of his "Martin Luther King" singsong in his voice today that he knows he f-ed up.

Looks like it's time to ban flights in and out of Texas.

That place is definitely an effected region.

She treated Duncan, had a fever of 99.5, contacted the CDC before she flew, they said no problem, go fly.

Government run healthcare .... what did you expect?

Yeah, because the privately run healthcare that sent Duncan home when he came in with Ebola symptoms is so much better.

 

[Rozman]

If a fever was present and the person ends up with ebola...Well then wasn't that person able to infect others?

And not just for Ebola.

Seriously. Yes, I make fun of Texasss but that state has become the armpit of the country.

Well, we know the Department of Health can't build a web site. What are the odds that they can deal with a viral epidemic?

Obama and Frieden are either trying to start a Civil War or set it up so Obammy has to declare martial law

Yes. In fact I ordered something from Texas a couple weeks ago... Ebola can exist on surfaces so ?...I was afraid to touch it when it got here. I mean, it was definitely in the back of my mind.

Like I said, the stock market is going to go haywire over the unforeseen consequences of this nonchalance about not shutting ebola out of this country...

The first place to declare martial law would be at outgoing flights in Liberia etc. "Sorry sir/madame, your VISA says you were in Sierra Leone. You are not allowed to board a flight bound for the US".

Who determines what an "official" hotspot is, exactly?

CNN just showing video of the transportation of the nurse to Atlanta. Five guys loading her into a special jet...all encased in hazmat suits...one airport dude in his chinos and t shirt assisting. Commentator wondering about the consistency ot the message being sent.
