Everything I read said that he was seen and sent home the same day. Did I miss this or has this not been reported until now?
It’s possible he was held in the ER for a while the first time before technically leaving the next morning. I’m pretty sure he wasn’t admitted.
This timeline to me shows that the dynamics of the Western World are not conducive to a larger wave of Ebola infection.
If you look at all of the incompetence, miscommunication and shoddy PPE from September 24th to September 28th, to have what now appears to be ZERO infections stemming from that is stupefying.
I am now firmly of the opinion that Ebola is not going to get a foothold outside of the Third World, even with the current level of half baked screening of travelers.
What WILL happen, on the other hand, is that this will create a huge waste of time and money with all the contact monitoring. Just imagine the thousands of workers (especially Union leeches) being given three weeks paid vacation (I bet they revise it upwards to six) just for claiming contact. This is going to become a farce, although I guess we should just be thankful that it’s not going to be a US tragedy.
He was examined for over four hours. Could be he was brought in late at night so dismissal would show a new calendar date.
Duncan did not stay overnight the first time- he left in the wee hours.
Vinson flew to Ohio on Friday, 10/10, not 10/8, I believe.
