'Who's the idiot with the clipboard?'

As news helicopters swarmed over Dallas' Love Field on Wednesday evening to watch the second U.S. nurse to contract Ebola board a private plane bound for Atlanta, one lone mysterious man stood out from the pack.

Holding a clipboard and directing the transfer, the unidentified man seemed to be the only person on the tarmac without protective clothing, wearing just a button down shirt and slacks.

While Ebola is not an airborne disease, his presence so close to patient Amber Vinson's medical team sparked fears after he was seen grabbing a container and hazmat trash bag from one of the workers' in full-protective gear and later boarding the flight.

He then flew with Vinson and the other hazmat-suited medical staff to Atlanta and local television crews spotted him with the stricken nurse as she disembarked at the airport in Georgia to be transferred to Emory University Hospital.

ABC News reports that the man is a supervisor for Phoenix Air, the company that flew Miss Vinson from Dallas to Atlanta.

When the plane landed in Atlanta, the man had still not donned any protective clothing and was seen openly interacting with Vinson and the other medical professionals caring for the nurse.

It is utter insanity.
Episodes like this are emblematic how there is ZERO comprehensive strategy to deal with this potential pandemic.

“Our medical professionals in the biohazard suits have limited vision and mobility and it is the protocol supervisor’s job to watch each person carefully and give them verbal directions to insure no close contact protocols are violated,” a spokesperson from Phoenix Air told ABC News said.

I’ll bet he does and is having a beer with his science czar John holdren,
Holdren wrote a book in 1977 advocating for extreme totalitarian measures to control the population

If he was a ‘spotter’, he’s still an idiot. At one point in the video, one of the workers in full garb actually PULLS HIM BACK because he was TOO CLOSE to the stretcher...

And when he just walked up the stairs and got onto the plane...THAT freaked me out...
