FYI, since I keep confusing the two people and their positions —
o CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden
o NIAID director Dr. Anthony Fauci
Both have testified before Congress.
Dr. Tom Frieden of the CDC does most of the “Risk communication.”
Both have been caught repeatedly and intentionally blowing squid ink over the risks of disease transmission and the protection required to deal with it.
That is, they have both intentionally and with malice aforethought confused and misdirected when asked direct questions regards the safeguards needed to stop this disease from spreading to America, the status of preparations needed to deal with it when it got here, and the lessons for the future when it gets here again.
That the MSF site got scrubbed implies very bad things given the above.
“That the MSF site got scrubbed implies very bad things given the above.”
I missed this. What specifically happened on the MSF site?
Nurse #2 of the Spanish Ebola treatment team for the Medical Missionary Priest has gone down with Ebola.
BHL-2 PPE is proving insufficient to the point of criminal negligence with ill-trained local HCW meeting Ebola for the first time.

ANOTHER nurse who treated the two missionary doctors repatriated from Liberia and Sierra Leone has been admitted to Madrid’s Carlos III hospital with suspected Ebola.
She was found to be suffering from a fever and is undergoing tests to find out whether she has caught the haemorrhagic virus from the two patients who were air-lifted home in August and September.
Along with a Spanish engineer who has just returned from Nigeria, and a third female nurse who has so far tested negative, the latest patient is the fifth person being held in isolation – although only one case has been confirmed.
Teresa Romero, 44, from Alcorcón (Madrid) was rushed to hospital on Monday and tests for Ebola showed up positive.
Her husband, Javier, is in a separate isolation ward under observation.
At least another 50 people who either treated the missionaries or have been in contact with those currently in hospital are undergoing regular temperature checks.
A helpline has been set up by Madrid health authorities – 91 400 00 01 – and an email address, sanidadinforma@salud.madrid.org.
