My guess is this nurse had suspicions about herself when she got on the plane and was frightened and wanted to be with her family. I can’t think of anything more frightening than someone telling me I had Ebola. Unfortunately, now her whole family has been put in jeopardy also. Unless she told them to stay at arm’s length from her. Would be interesting to see if she did warn them about getting in proximity to her. She also could have just been lying to herself when her temp went up for no good reason. Other than ebola, of course.
I suppose that’s true and understandable. But it is stupid.
She put everyone she came in contact with at risk.
Maybe she just couldn’t put two and two together. She’d been assured that the protocols worked, and didn’t believe ebola could happen to her. But, she’s a medical person, and comes in contact with all sorts of people who have less serious diseases. I can understand that kind of thinking, but it is kind of unimaginative and dumb.
