A resident of Belton, Texas sat within three feet of Amber Vinson, the Dallas nurse who is the third confirmed Ebola case in the United States, when she was flying from Ohio to Texas this week.
The family of the person will now enter quarantine for 21 days, or the incubation period for the virus, to ensure that they didn’t contract the deadly disease from Vinson.
Vinson was originally reported as not showing any symptoms on the flight but a CDC official later said that she was showing symptoms prior to the flight.
Ebola spreads mostly through direct contact with blood or bodily fluids such as sweat, semen, and saliva. There are competing claims as to whether it can spread through the air at short distances....

Analyze the comments and behavior of CDC officials.
Honesty and trustworthiness are simply not present.
There’s a price to pay for lying. It’s called your credibility doesn’t exist any more.
“She self-reported to the CDC.
The CDC said to fly anyway.
Now, who is criminal?”
SHE for sure is an idiot. Nurses are highly trained professionals. WHAT was she thinking?
Just imagine how your imagination would run wild during that quarantine. What a frickin’ nightmare!
As the CDC oked the flight, that family’s survivors just won the legal lottery.
Here is another:
The Dallas Hospital had a machine called a “Film Array” that can detect whether someone has the Ebola virus, with a high degree of accuracy, in under an hour. All the hospital had to do was to get the correct “kit” to use the machine to screen for the virus.
The FDA would not allow this because the hospital has to agree to use the machine for “Research Use Only”.
It is the same machine being used in Africa by the military to screen for the virus.
The Machine only costs 39K. You would think the FDA would relax their requirements in this case but I guess not. Would make too much sense.
Not really. The feds must allow you to sue them, and then only after some administrative claims processes. Much easier to sue the airline or private individuals.
“She self-reported to the CDC. The CDC said to fly anyway.
Now, who is criminal?”
I’m the *first* person to give the benefit of the doubt. I honestly believe that most people have the best interest of others at heart and, when pushed, most people will do the right thing.
But just can’t accept that here.
She *knew* that she was exposed to Ebola. She was in a voluntary quarantine and she went along with her little life anyway. I would *NEVER* expose my family in this way. Even with the slightest risk, I couldn’t do that to them. I actually love my loved ones.
No. If I was in direct contact with a person KNOWN to have Ebola, I wouldn’t even go home until I was cleared. Hell, I’d probably sit my butt in a hotel for a solid month just to be sure. (The thought of my grandbaby... just too horrible)
And I’m skeptical enough of bureaucracy to ignore the CDC’s blase attitude. *They* don’t adore that wicked gleam in my husband’s eye. I DO.
I cannot excuse anything that she’s done. I can’t.
Is the CDC complicit? ABSOLUTELY. The buck stops with them. But she did know better. She followed the CDC’s instructions because it suited her desires.
I don’t believe that she deserves a lynching, but she sure does deserve a smack upside the back of her head.
Death by bureaucracy.
very interesting. thank you for bringing that up.
Just read today that her Uncle said that she didn’t actually call the CDC directly, she called the Texas Health Dept who was going to call the CDC.
Many state agencies are in lock step with feds.
The name of the game is to hitch one wagon to incompetence and another to corruption. Finally, malice joins them and takes the lead.
