Atlanta, London, Boston, Orlando.

Add up the numbers and he likely came in contact with 3,000 people as a minimum with the planes, the airport, the security folks, and the medical staff.

Statistically.....you’d have to figure at least ten got something from him, and they are spreading it currently. Unless luck just happens to occur....I don’t see how you avoid an epidemic on this episode.

CDC’s got their work cut out for them - several hours in Orlando General with the relative and those contacts, then 4 hours in the “very crowded” (I read in another article) waiting room of Dr. Phillips Hospital. I wonder if it's a coincidence that the first MERS patient in Indiana (Apr 28) was also a ‘health care worker’ from Saudi? Wonder if they know each other? USA Today reports the Indiana fellow is off oxygen and walking around, so that might be a good sign we have time for a vaccine or discovered a successful treatment regiment. Something seems off, tho.
