Dr. Friedenstein cannot contain the monster.

“authorities do not yet know what that breach was”

Then how do they know there WAS a breach?!

This sounds like misdirection to me.

"The fact is that the individual who became ill was, as per protocol, self monitoring. Immediately when they developed symptoms they isolated themselves, they were promptly isolated at the hospital so that any further spread from that individual was stopped," Frieden added.

The question that isn't being answered is how much potential for further spread since this person was not quarantined...

[EnquiringMind]

I think the “breach in protocol” is actually a breach in brains on the CDC’s part, by forgetting to tell the HCWs to wash their gloves in bleach before removing.

This is what happens when political correctness is more important than qualifications and diversity. Incompetence is the hallmark of this administration from top to bottom.

“Mistakes were made.”

Protocol?

The protocol is to pretend it’s not a problem and let people in from west Africa

At this point a lot of Freepers are thinking, "excuse my language, but how in the **** are the hospital personnel contracting this while supposedly in protective gear but Duncan’s family is not infected while interacting unprotected with his bodily fluids????"

The answer to the question is shown below. The woman in the protective gear is/was wearing the CDC's recommendation for protective gear.

Think of the VA and its problems when you think about the CDC. Both are controlled and staffed by liberals, who really aren't that concerned with doing their job properly. They are concerned about increasing their budgets and span of control instead of good results.

Thanks to Black Agnes for posting the link to this picture last week.

bgill has some scary photos of how well trained (not) our front line care givers are/were.

And... if a so-called ‘breach in protocol’ is so rare according the CDC, why is MRSA (methicillin resistant staph aureus) throughout virtually EVERY hospital in the country? There are so many ‘holes’ in our isolation procedures. I am a nurse of more than forty years...I have watched the entire system disintegrate...yes, there are breaches...in the education programs for nurses and as well as doctors. Breaches in protocol have been part of this issue from the beginning, just as is so with most of our healthcare now.

All of the books I’ve read in the past that had to do with deadly virus research sure differs from what’s happening in Dallas. As I recall these researchers in space suits had to go through a couple of heavy decontamination procedures before removing suits.

Intentional Breach of protocol on our BORDER also. These so called "words" have
meaning and the illegal unconstitutional Breaches by the Democrats are deliberate.

The rule of law must come down on DC.

CDC chief on second Ebola case: There was a breach in protocol

Yes there was!!!!!!!!

The CDC did not quarantine a level 4 pathogen in it's country of origin!!!!!!!!!

[dragnet2]

Blame some unknown breach,

Blame the protocols,

Blame the moon suits,

Blame decontamination methods, the training, lack of education and on and on and on and on...

Never mind isolating these nasty diseases in their countries of origin....

That makes too much GD sense...

Fly these infected and exposed all over the planet...

That’s the ticket!

As the audience of fools applaud...

[Gritty]

I guess my only question is, when are we going to get a real doctor to head the CDC?

Frieden is obviously a political hack whose pay grade far exceeds his skills, wisdom, or ability. He has done nothing but political hackery his entire career after he left medical training. He's nothing but a once somewhat medically skilled fat-assed bureaucrat!

In other words, he's a perfect fit in the 0bama Administration.
