But, but, but they said it wasn't contagious unless you came into contact with bodily fluids. According to the CDC, the 2nd health-care worker infected with Ebola traveled on Frontier Flight 1143 from Cleveland to Dallas on October 13th and are asking all 132 passengers on the flight to get tested. One question... what about the thousands of people that those 132 passengers came in contact with in the last 2 days?

Frontier Airlines Statement

“At approximately 1:00 a.m. MT on October 15, Frontier was notified by the CDC that a customer traveling on Frontier Airlines flight 1143 Cleveland to Dallas/Fort Worth on Oct. 13 has since tested positive for the Ebola virus. The flight landed in Dallas/Fort Worth at 8:16 p.m. local and remained overnight at the airport having completed its flying for the day at which point the aircraft received a thorough cleaning per our normal procedures which is consistent with CDC guidelines prior to returning to service the next day. It was also cleaned again in Cleveland last night. Previously the customer had traveled from Dallas Fort Worth to Cleveland on Frontier flight 1142 on October 10.

Customer exhibited no symptoms or sign of illness while on flight 1143, according to the crew. Frontier responded immediately upon notification from the CDC by removing the aircraft from service and is working closely with CDC to identify and contact customers who may traveled on flight 1143.

Customers who may have traveled on either flight should contact CDC at 1 800 CDC-INFO.

The safety and security of our customers and employees is our primary concern. Frontier will continue to work closely with CDC and other governmental agencies to ensure proper protocols and procedures are being followed.”

“But, but, but they said it wasn’t contagious unless you came into contact with bodily fluids. “

that was yesterday’s truth. Not todays. Or tomorrows.

[Ray76]

This is reactive rather than proactive - prohibit entry by persons from infected areas!

[pfflier]

Stupid question #1:

If this newest patient was one identified as being under surveillance for previous exposure. Why was she freely traveling?

[boycott]

Thing about it is that the 132 passengers could be from all over the place. It’s a safe bet that many have already left Dallas — including the flight crew.

Additionally, did this person use any of the restrooms? Where did they sit in the boarding area? It goes much deeper than just those on the flight.

[txrefugee]

Why? They didn’t contact her bodily fluids, and she didn’t have a fever when on the flight, so why should the other passengers be monitored?

[ColdOne]

Thanks Eboma!

[Slyfox]

what about the thousands of people

And what about the people the second health worker stood in line with at the Starbucks counter? And the restroom? And the ride to and from the airport?

The CDC is full of squat. They have no idea what they are doing. How can they demand anyone to do anything?

[Sir Napsalot]

According to CDC days ago, Ebola not contagious nor airborne unless direct contact with body fluids. And the second Ebola positive healthcare worker only has low-grade fever right now.

If you are rounding up the 132 passengers? Why not the whole travelers at airport lounges, etc?

They (THEY) are not telling us the more and wider sphere of the possible contacts of both patients.

CDC, I demand you BAN all commercial flights in and out of the Hot Zone!

I demand that the Obola Administration immediately rescind its visa policy that it put in place on August 15, 2014.

On August 15, 2014 the Obama Administration sneakingly expedited visas from the Ebola effected countries.

Then there are the people in Cleveland she spent 5 days with.

Actually, this is a teleporting virus. If you are within a 5 mile radius, it will teleport into your bloodstream.

Paging Dr. Snyderman...

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

If two nurses got it after wearing protective gear then I would say that bug is pretty damn contagious. A few years ago my girlfriend accidentally sneezed right in my face when she had the flu and I didn't get sick and I DID NOT get a flu shot beforehand. Yet these two nurses got Ebola dressed in protective gear. I would say Ebola is a lot more contagious than the flu, wouldn't you?

And Ebamas response??

[wrench]

Hey Frieden, what about your quote?:

He later added that Ebola is a “scary disease,” but vowed, “We are stopping it in its tracks in this country

[Safetgiver]

We need to quit calling it the Ebola epidemic or the HN whatever the hell it is killing kids all over America, and start calling with EVERY thread, political speech and news article “The Democrats Biological Warfare on America”. Please help.

[Black Agnes]

Ping.

Customer exhibited no symptoms or sign of illness while on flight 1143, according to the crew.

That is the most meaningless statement ever uttered if that is supposed to be reassuring.

The crew doesn't monitor passenger's temperatures and how many people cough or sneeze on an airplane flight typically? The crew would only respond to gross symptomes unless a passanger asks specifically for their attention.

[SnuffaBolshevik]

"If this newest patient was one identified as being under surveillance for previous exposure why was she freely traveling?"

I may be mistaken, but I think someone asked that question at this mornings presser and the answer was that she was not in the initial surveillance group.

Which, if true, raises even more questions.

“...at which point the aircraft received a thorough cleaning per our normal procedures which is consistent with CDC guidelines prior to returning to service the next day.”

So, they clean their planes consistent with CDC guidelines for dealing with Ebola even before they know they’ve carried a passenger with Ebola?
