But, but, but they said it wasn't contagious unless you came into contact with bodily fluids. According to the CDC, the 2nd health-care worker infected with Ebola traveled on Frontier Flight 1143 from Cleveland to Dallas on October 13th and are asking all 132 passengers on the flight to get tested. One question... what about the thousands of people that those 132 passengers came in contact with in the last 2 days?

• NEW TEXAS EBOLA PATIENT FLEW DOMESTICALLY NIGHT BEFORE FEVER APPEARED -- CDC

Frontier Airlines Statement

“At approximately 1:00 a.m. MT on October 15, Frontier was notified by the CDC that a customer traveling on Frontier Airlines flight 1143 Cleveland to Dallas/Fort Worth on Oct. 13 has since tested positive for the Ebola virus. The flight landed in Dallas/Fort Worth at 8:16 p.m. local and remained overnight at the airport having completed its flying for the day at which point the aircraft received a thorough cleaning per our normal procedures which is consistent with CDC guidelines prior to returning to service the next day. It was also cleaned again in Cleveland last night. Previously the customer had traveled from Dallas Fort Worth to Cleveland on Frontier flight 1142 on October 10.

Customer exhibited no symptoms or sign of illness while on flight 1143, according to the crew. Frontier responded immediately upon notification from the CDC by removing the aircraft from service and is working closely with CDC to identify and contact customers who may traveled on flight 1143.

Customers who may have traveled on either flight should contact CDC at 1 800 CDC-INFO.

The safety and security of our customers and employees is our primary concern. Frontier will continue to work closely with CDC and other governmental agencies to ensure proper protocols and procedures are being followed.”

"CDC Demands"?????

I guess those 'voluntary' isolations and self-quarantines didn't work.

[bgill]

Simple solution: Ban flights from the 3 African countries. Problem solved.

Since there's no direct flight, that's hard to do. Duncan had to catch a flight to Begium, then one to Dulles and the final one to DFW. Better to ban anyone with passports showing time over the past 30 days in the hot zone.

[Yaelle]

at which point the aircraft received a thorough cleaning per our normal procedures which is consistent with CDC guidelines

So a spray of Lysol wiped halfheartedly down the seats of the entire plane with the same rag and a quick peek at part of the back seat pocket is CDC cleaning protocol with Ebola? I’ve found food and kleenexes in seat pockets before.

[Grampa Dave]

"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 this critical 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.

However the birthplace of pcism, Great Britain had even worse recommendation re hazmat garb for the UK’s medical workers.

[Yaelle]

This is reactive rather than proactive - prohibit entry by persons from infected areas!

---

But now we have a Secretary of State who advised a different strategy: Respond When Necessary. If it works for terrorism, why wouldn’t it work with Ebola?

[Atomic Vomit]

It would seem that it’s already too late for that.

Mrs. AV

[Slyfox]

If two nurses got it after wearing protective gear

The CDC said the best protocol for fighting Ebola is a mere paper mask, a cotton gown, one or maybe two pairs of gloves and goggles. That's it.

NO fully-enclosed hazmat suit with a special breathing apparatus and special decontamination procedures as the health worker exits the specially-contained room.

[TomGuy]

The CDC is full of squat. They have no idea what they are doing.

At the Johns Hopkins conference on Ebola yesterday, Dr. Michael T. Osterholm said that, as of yesterday, they know less about Ebola now than they thought they knew 6 months ago.

[drpix]

How long ago would Frieden have been forced out by the media if they weren't Obama's party-line media?

CDC Chief Frieden: "When a wildfire breaks out we don't fence it off. We go in to extinguish it before one of the random sparks sets off another outbreak somewhere else."

What does he think "firelines" and "control lines" are if not the two primary tactics to control wildfires by "fencing" them in?

And obviously he knows as little about pandemic disease control as he does about wildfire control. But he does know the politically corrected globalists diversity party-line.

[Yaelle]

Why? They didn’t contact her bodily fluids, and she didn’t have a fever when on the flight, so why should the other passengers be monitored?

"Kids, today's word is HYPOCRISY."

[GOPJ]

Planes recirculate the same air... it’s cheaper that way...

[Phillyred]

[Vendome]

Anyone traveling from these countries is suspect, on the one hand, on the other, anyone coming into contact with persons infected could be a carrier and never traveled there.

[Ray76]

“We are stopping it in its tracks in this country”

more like

“We’re helping it into it’s track shoes.”

[Axenolith]

Because they weren’t under surveillance and restrictions from prior exposure?

"We have to protect our phoney baloney jobs here, gentlemen! We must do something about this immediately! Immediately! Immediately! Harrumph! Harrumph!"

OK, Freepers, time for action.

Call your reps in DC and tell them the flights from West Africa through any hub HAVE TO STOP!

The place to fight this disease is at its source, not here.

The “screening” process at our airports is a joke and ineffective. 150 people a day are coming here from West Africa—that is 4500 a month. Some will show a fever and yet may be carrying the virus.

Our healthcare system will shutdown if this continues.

We already have cases in Kansas, Nebraska, Massachusetts, Virginia, and Texas.

The first order of business of a government is to protect their citizens. And this government is failing to do so.

Make the calls.

The family you save may be your own.

[Axenolith]

You’re contagious at least a few days before symptoms present in this variant from other reports.
