While federal and local officials rethink their Ebola containment strategy, they've also riled front-line health care workers by repeatedly pointing the finger at nurses as new infections surface.
Most recently, federal sources even suggested the second Dallas nurse to test positive for the virus "lied" to the CDC about her symptoms.

You are wrong. Do you think Amber Vinson had a death wish? They were not on a quarantine list, considered fine because they were “protected”. Pham was diagnosed on 10/11. Amber flew out on 10/10. Why is it so clear to me CDC is throwing Vinson under the bus because they gave her permission to fly home? How do you think the lab tech ended up on a cruise ship? They were not told to stay put, they were told I guess just to take their temperature.
The 70 something who treated him were not on the quarantine list. Duh. Don’t forget CDC initially said Pham “breached protocol” trying to throw her under the same bus.
The lady at the bridal shop said Vinson did not look sick.
I would love to throw all you guys under the bus calling Vinson names.
BTW, apparently no one who flew with Duncan developed ebola. Apparently none of the people living with Duncan has developed it either.
The CDC and Fed Gov’t in general have been addressing (supposedly) bio-terrorism for decades. How much has been spent and yet, even though this doesn’t appear to be bio-terrorism it is certainly bio-terror, we are TOTALLY UNPREPARED! Everyone who has been tasked with getting/keeping us prepared should be fired, and their pension/benefits rescinded/cancelled. They have not only been taking $$ under false pretenses, they have left us extremely vulnerable. Don’t think for a moment that Islamic terrorists aren’t watching this debacle with glee.
Nurses have no real training in this disease. Our Military gets FOUR HOURS TRAINING! Nurses at least know a little more about infectious disease of the more common variety like mumps, measles, chicken pox, hooping cough etc.
There are two individuals to blame. One is obola for allowing it into the US. Two is Frieden who failed to see that healthcare workers are fully trained BEFORE something lands on their doorstep.
They're also lying about symptoms. 13% don't develop the tell-tale fever. Typically, only 30-50% go hemorrhagic but only 18% do with this strain. So, tell me again what we need to watch out for.
I wonder how riled they are going to get when Obola starts transporting infected brothers from Liberia and the rest of W. Africa for treatment? It is in the plans according to Judicial Watch.
Please call congress and tell them that we must be deadly serious about containing Ebola by strict quarantine within the United States and from infected nations. This is our right and our duty and it is THEIR duty to protect US.
Capitol switchboard is 202-224-3121 or Google your congressman or senator and get his contact information and call him / her office directly. You can also call or go to their local offices.
I believe decisive response is urgent because you can’t put this Ebola genie back in the bottle once it gets out. It is a fire, it consumes all the fuel it can get and the fuel is people. The only way to stop a fire is to block it from the fuel or cool it with water. A vaccine or medicine to treat Ebola would be the water and we don’t have reliable, enough or any.
Every possible measure must be taken to stop the spread before draconian measures are imposed. What is being done now is sloppy. We are walking a dangerous road. The threat is blossoming by the day if not hour. Almost every hour there is some new Ebola development and none of them are good. This is a serious and potentially deadly event. Unchecked it could destroy or weaken the United States and facilitate our destruction by others. It has that potential for every country and that is why so many are responding with such strict quarantines. These consequences, no matter how small the probabilities, demand a full effort and significant response.
Ebola is being spread here in the United States right now. First Texas, then Ohio then? Terror is an excellent weapon. It disrupts, confuses, paralyzes and destroys a society. Many others and we on FR have speculated that terrorists may spread Ebola. How do you that remember 9/11 feel right now compared to what you felt then? Do you want to gather your loved ones near you to protect them? I do. Even more than I did on September 11, 2001! Isn’t this passive response by this administration accomplishing the very same things a terrorist would want?
When something is being done that makes as little sense as what Obama is doing there has to be some other reason. I leave it to you dear reader to draw your own conclusions as to the reasons.
What is happening now is insane. It makes no sense at all. For example the head of CDC says: “Stopping travel from Africa won’t do any good because you have to get people into Africa to fight Ebola.” “You can’t get Ebola from an infected person on a bus but an infected person should never be on a bus because he can infect others.” “Blocking travel from infected countries would damage their fragile economies.” What about ours? What about our safety? What about resources we have paid for that should be protecting us?
Even the most despotic dictatorship in Africa has acted to protect his nation by strict quarantine and stopping travel from infected countries. Even CDC, the UN and WHO advocate and credit strict quarantine for nipping the spread of Ebola in the bud at the source in places like Senegal and Nigeria where both have had faster and more successful outbreak controls than we have had here. 35 countries have stopped travel of people from infected West African countries. It is so obvious even a child could understand it so why is it OK for people from infected countries to travel here?
I will post this message and keep posting it until someone stops me.

There isn’t much of a margin of error with Ebola. Small mistakes can have big consequences. I personally wouldn’t assume anything.
