BREAKING…
Sanjay Gupta on CNN just stated that Amber Vinson had called CDC from the airport in Cleveland when she realized she was running a low-grade fever and asked them for permission to board that plane and return to Dallas.
Gupta says that permission to board that plan was granted by CDC.
If Obama doesn't fire the fool, I can see an election argument that Obama fired the Secret Service Director because her screwups threatened his family, but he doesn't give a rip about our lives so Frieden gets to stay on.
Cleveland clinic just took a big staffing, hit as did a number of other North East Ohio hospitals, due to the CDC’s latest ideological screw up with Amber Vinson
How many heart patients lost their Cleveland clinic cardiac procedures over this?
Dozens?
More?

A tipster has alerted Gotnews.com that the second ebola patient–Amber Joy Vinson–was on a flight with dozens of nurses returning from a convention.
This is what he wrote:
5 hospital nurses from Aultman Hospital (Canton, OH) were on same flight that Amber Vinson was on to DFW to CLE. Lots of scrambling going on at Aultman. The 5 nurses are now off work for 21 days at least while being monitored. They had contact with patients until today.
Update from tipster:
Apparently it wasn’t just Aultman, the plane was full of nurses from all over NE Ohio returning from a convention.
Developing.

CLEVELAND, Ohio— Nurses from the Cleveland Clinic and MetroHealth Medical Center were among those on the Frontier Airlines flight with Dallas Ebola patient Amber Joy Vinson and are now on paid leave while their health is monitored for possible symptoms, the two health systems said in a joint news release this evening.
The 13 nurses were on the October 10th flight from Dallas to Cleveland with Vinson, who came to the Northeast Ohio area to see family in Tallmadge and help plan a wedding. She returned to Dallas on another Frontier airlines flight on October 13th and was hospitalized the following morning with a fever.
Five Cleveland Clinic nurses were on the flight, according to Clinic spokeswoman Eileen Sheil. They will remain on leave at least 21 days, she said. A total of eight MetroHealth nurses were also on the flight, according to the health system. MetroHealth is holding a news conference tomorrow morning at 9:30 a.m. to answer questions about the situation.
Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked
Here is the joint statement from the Clinic and MetroHealth:
“Today, we learned that Cleveland Clinic and The MetroHealth System had employees – mostly nurses – aboard the Frontier flight from Dallas to Cleveland on October 10, returning from a nursing conference in Texas. That flight included the Dallas nurse who was diagnosed with Ebola when she returned to Dallas on October 13.
Both health systems have put all of our employees who were on that flight on paid leave while we will monitor their health daily. We are confident that these nurses are at low risk of exposure since we understand that the Dallas nurse did not have symptoms at the time. We have taken this measure as an extra precautionary step for our employees, patients, and visitors.
Cleveland Clinic, The MetroHealth System, and University Hospitals will be working closely together to keep our community safe and to work toward preventing the spread of the Ebola virus.”
My first (and only) long distance bus ride, some kid next to me got carsick. Instead of having the decency to put it on the floor, he threw up in MY lap. (I swore then, I'd walk first before I EVER got on another bus.)
...Data for epidemiological week 41 are incomplete, with missing data for 12 October from Liberia. This reflects the challenging nature of data gathering in countries with widespread and intense EVD transmission...
Data acquisition continues to be a challenge in Liberia. Evidence obtained from responders and laboratory staff in the country suggests that the situation in Liberia is getting worse, and that transmission remains intense in the capital, Monrovia.
