The second health-care worker diagnosed with Ebola had a fever of 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit before boarding a passenger jet on Monday, a day before she reported symptoms of the virus and was tested, according to public health officials.

Even though there appeared to be little risk for the other people on that flight, she should not have traveled that way, Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said during a news conference Wednesday.

“She should not have flown on a commercial airline,” Frieden said.

Neither should people from Liberia.

do you think for a minute she was ever informed of what protocol should be ?......if she had been - she'd never have been exposed in the first place

translation: She should have flown First Class. That would have achieved Dear Leader’s objectives more effectively.

She shouldn’t travel, but 190,000 people from West Africa should come here anytime they want.
That’s the estimate from the State Department of the number of visitors to the U.S. last year from that area.

U.S. government ‘logic’. Gonna get us all killed.

We need to quit calling it the Ebola epidemic or the HN whatever the hell it is killing kids all over America, and start calling with EVERY thread, political speech and news article “The Democrats Biological Warfare on America”. Please help.

My wife talked to a black nurse this morning and she said everyone at Kelsey Seybold is worried and that they don’t have the gear or training to deal with ebola. She also said she believes this is part of Agenda 21. Must be a conspiracy nut conservative. /s

got an email from my sister, said she got off the plane about 8:15 pm, and went to the hospital around midnight. Notice how the CDC managed to play us with the “day before” info?

That's 0.4 degrees too low to blame Suzanne Vega.
