"There is nothing to worry about.
We will bring in 150 more potentially infected per day."

The head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned Monday that other U.S. hospital workers may have Ebola after a Dallas nurse tested positive for the virus, as he vowed to "double down" on training for health care workers -- raising questions about whether he told the truth when he initially assured the public and Congress that U.S. hospitals are capable of treating Ebola patients.
Thomas Frieden, at a press briefing on Monday, said the CDC would be taking a number of steps including offering more training and outreach throughout the health care system. He said they need to "rethink" their approach to the virus.
"I feel awful that a health care worker became infected in the care of an Ebola patient," Frieden said.
But he urged the public to brace for more bad news.

That means they know others are infected.
Great.
From a disease which was supposedly difficult to transit and would be contained.
The word buffoon comes to mind.
"There is nothing to worry about.
We will bring in 150 more potentially infected per day."
I've got news for this dipstick. The public has been light years ahead of him all the way.
The lies didn't sell from day one.

“We believe there is scientific and epidemiologic evidence that Ebola virus has the potential to be transmitted via infectious aerosol particles both near and at a distance from infected patients, which means that healthcare workers should be wearing respirators, not facemasks.”
[In other words, airborne.]
“The minimum level of protection in high-risk settings should be a respirator with an assigned protection factor greater than 10. A powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR) with a hood or helmet offers many advantages over an N95 filtering facepiece or similar respirator, being more protective, comfortable, and cost-effective in the long run.”
An airborne disease is any disease that is caused by pathogens and transmitted through the air. Such diseases include many that are of considerable importance both in humanand veterinary medicine. The relevant pathogens may be viruses, bacteria, or fungi, and they may be spread through coughing, sneezing, raising of dust, spraying of liquids, or similar activities likely to generate aerosol particles or droplets.

That’s a lot of “protocol breach”
Change is in the wind at CDC. There’s plenty of room under the O-bus.
Stay tuned.
No need to panic, huh? I swear the next time I see another health care professional on TV claim the ebola stricken nurse in Dallas didn’t follow protocol as prescribed I might break my big screen by the objects I throw at it. They’re all saying the same thing and it means they’re circling the wagons because this strain of ebola may be worse than is being said and they don’t have the foggiest clue on how to combat it and treat it.
Brace for more bad news? Does that mean there are others with fever just awaiting test results? They knew the nurse was sick on Friday but it did not make the news until Sunday.
Dr. Friedenstein strikes again!
“I feel awful that a health care worker became infected in the care of an Ebola patient,” Frieden said.
...
Is he giving up on blaming the innocent nurse?
I had my yearly eye exam today.
Every patient at the general check-in desk, was being asked “Have you been to west Africa in the last 21 days?”.
Now there’s a “change” I could have done without.
“Hope” has pretty much left, and the “change” will soon include the scariest Halloween in US history. We have beheadings and ebola.
May O’Bola rot in hell for what he’s done and not done.
Morons.
When we're up to a few million dead, the CDC will be saying they all breached protocol. Not one person at the CDC, or in DHS, or any other branch of government will resign.
Except for a few whistleblowers.
I’m not a doctor but I am an engineer, a scientist and a problem solver. Here’s the answer...
The answer is, I believe, to instead of putting the medical workers in a space suit, The patient should be the one in the suit. Feed, hydrate, and medicate through a plastic tube. Drug the patient and keep them drugged for the duration until they recover or die.
The atmosphere would would be maintained by recirculating the air similar to what they do with space suites, except in this case including exposing the recycled air to extreme UV light (kind of like what I do with my UV pond filter). Any escape gasses in the recycling process would be scrubbed for CO2 and heated electrically to say 500 degrees F before exiting the system.
If they die, incinerate them in the quarentine suite.
I’m worried that these will be the guys that transported Duncan in their ambulances both times.
That's the question that asked of every single international traveler boarding a US-bound flight. Backed up by close scrutiny of their passport stamps. And all flights to the US directly from an ebola country must be stopped.
If liquor stores were as careful as the CDC, every customer would be asked ‘are you old enough to buy alcohol’ and the sale made based on the verbal response.
