The airline confirmed to ABC News that the man was their medical protocol supervisor who was purposefully not wearing protective gear.

"Our medical professionals in the biohazard suits have limited vision and mobility and it is the protocol supervisor’s job to watch each person carefully and give them verbal directions to insure no close contact protocols are violated," a spokesperson from Phoenix Air told ABC News said.

"There is absolutely no problem with this and in fact insures an even higher level of safety for all involved," the spokesperson said.

I guess posting these will eventually get old. I don’t see the need to start a new thread.

http://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/local/Yale-New-Haven-Hospital-Admits-Person-with-Ebola-Like-Symptoms—279415262.html

A Yale University student who recently returned from Liberia has been admitted to Yale-New Haven Hospital to be evaluated for Ebola-like symptoms, according to officials from New Haven Mayor Toni Harp’s office and Yale-New Haven Hospital.

There was a news article two days ago saying the CDC told the Yale students not to isolate theirselves. I guess we need to call Minzdrav for medical advice...

http://foxct.com/2014/10/14/yale-researchers-who-planned-to-be-quarantined-are-back-in-new-haven-not-isolated/

Originally, the Yale Daily News reported the two agreed to isolate themselves for three weeks to ensure the safety of students and staff, but after careful consideration and after speaking with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the University concluded that was too extreme and rather the two will take some time to recover from their travels.

Ha! Nothing screams importance and mission more than a clipboard.

You can stroll into any high security institution of your choice as long as you carry a clipboard. I bet that’s how that sign language guy at Mandela’s funeral got the job.

“I learned that I was forever left alone if I would just walk around with a clipboard and walk with determination.”

Yep, where I work we call that a “hall pass”.

Political correctness kills, kills and keeps on killing. You just are not allowed to criticize anything anyone is doing unless they’re telling you the truth or to do what is right. Satan is at the controls.

I understand what they’re saying but he could have put on some type of protective gear. I guess we’ll see how smart he was about twenty days from now.

Definitely. We need government bureaucrats to do that. We can use cameras for instant replay on important football games but certainly not for life and death matters like ebola.

It is an art. Sometimes I tried so hard to appear busy, that I actually got things done!

Hope it was thoroughly disinfected.

But that would take common sense.
