The second infection of a Texas health care worker with the dangerous Ebola virus is "very concerning," officials said Wednesday, warning more US cases were possible in the coming days.
Both became infected while caring for a Liberian patient, Thomas Eric Duncan, at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas.
The second woman should not have boarded a domestic flight in the days before she was diagnosed, though there was an "extremely low likelihood" that she could have infected fellow travelers, said Thomas Frieden, the head of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"She was in a group of individuals known to have exposure to Ebola. She should not have traveled on a commercial airline," Frieden told reporters.
CDC guidelines outline the need for "controlled movement," and that does not include taking any kind of public transportation, he said.

U.S. Ebola Cases ’May Exceed Two Dozen by November’
There could be as many as two dozen people in the U.S. infected with Ebola by the end of the month, according to researchers tracking the virus with a computer model. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-10-16/u-s-ebola-cases-may-exceed-two-dozen-by-november-.html
The CDC certainly appears to be working hard to make this happen.

uh oh
Time for the Solution for the root problem in a single day:
Playing Russian Roulette with people THIS LATE in the crisis! When does the ‘A-Game’ kick in? From the beginning, up until now:
This is too stupid to be stupid!
Which means?
Either it was deliberate or insane.
One thing is for certain — ‘why’ doesn’t even matter. A high crime and misdemeanor does not need to demonstrate motive. And the only ‘proof’ required is abject, unpardonable failure to do one’s sworn duty. The RNC should go through the motions — impeach in House and patriotic senators petition for an impeachment trial on the same day.
A single day!
Public record is all that is required at this point.
PUT THE DNC ON THE HOT SPOT. THIS CRISIS IS FAR ABOVE PETTY ‘RACE’ ISSUES BECAUSE EVERY RACE IS VULNERABLE TO EBOLA! If the DNC wants to subject the US to more of this ‘leader-ship’, let it BE ON RECORD! Then let the voters decide next month.
We can choose to forgive without pardoning. Forgiveness is a matter of the heart, not a matter of good governance.
And we need it to be DECISIVELY STRIDENT.
If they don’t get ahead of this outrage at warp speed, the RNC will end up being ‘Jeb Bushed’ — remember schindler “Terri Schindler/Schiavo? Jeb Bush got too far behind the issue and was despised by conservatives for not having a police-v-police gun fight over the debate.
Move at WARP SPEED. Constitutional duty!
The ultimate alternative will be to hand over draconian domestic powers to allow Mister Ebola to clean up his own mess through martial law. No — impeach. Then let Biden have a crack at it.
Besides:
The DNC would expose itself in the process as treasonously negligent about national security and public safety. Then the Voter can decide in a few days.
This makes me wonder how the investigations are going regarding Benghazi and the IRS scandals.
Is it me or is the guy without a hazmat suit about to become a carrier of ebola?

Deliberate and insane. I no longer have any doubt.
I saw that. What an IDIOT...
That said, without an authorized signature, the FBO isn’t going to get paid for the fuel and services. Probably not worth risking death over, nut I wasn’t there.
REALLY?? I never would have guessed.
You are going to impeach politicians for an issue dealing with a virus.
You realize that 90% of those in congress do not know what a virus is, right?
Getting all worked up on line is not a solution. Educate the masses, stop the movement from West Africa, and be diligent.
The government is not going to help you.
Meanwhile, this morning, CNN is trying HARD to spin the blame for all of this onto the Hospital, and “The Republican Sequestration”, and away from the CDC and the Administration.
They got there Media Matters talking points for this now, that much is SURE...
2 dozen is almost exactly how many special isolation units beds, like the one the nurse was just transported to at Emory, the US has....
“2 dozen is almost exactly how many special isolation units beds, like the one the nurse was just transported to at Emory, the US has....”
Then we are totally prepared, right?
My bet is the administration knows of more cases right now but they are trying to keep it under wraps until after the election if possible.
“Getting all worked up on line is not a solution. Educate the masses, stop the movement from West Africa, and be diligent.”
Please, think of this in terms of chess. There is no time to ‘educate the masses’. In fact, there’s no need. Close to 70% of Americans want a commercial ban. The congress critters get it, but as usual, the GOP leaders are wearing ‘kid gloves’.
“The government is not going to help you.”
You might be right. I’m actually more safe than most folks out there — far more safe. But I’m concerned about the end game. Draconian power, martial law. With President Ebola in charge.
If it gets to the point where they are employing martial law across the land, it is already too late.
Think about it. You are in the National Guard, people you love are dying or in risk of dying, are you going to go stand guard at the cross roads?
If they start doing the martial law thing, the center has already broken and the lines wont hold.
Possible? I am amazed we don’t have two more today. In fact I wonder when they will just quit releasing the info. There won’t be a meaningful quarantine of people but there will be a quarantine of info.
“If it gets to the point where they are employing martial law across the land, it is already too late.”
Right. Just doing what I can to head off martial law. So far, President Ebola says he doesn’t want an ebola czar. Funny thing, we already have one:
Why Has Ebola Czar Nicole Lurie Been MIA?
