Leadership: In a telephone press briefing, the CDC director repeated that you can't get Ebola by sitting next to someone on a bus, but infected or exposed people should avoid public transit because they might transmit it. Huh?
During the Wednesday conference call with reporters, Centers for Disease Control director Tom Frieden was asked if he or anyone else at the CDC had vetted a videotaped message posted on U.S. embassy websites that showed President Obama saying you couldn't get Ebola by sitting next to someone on a bus, while the CDC's own guidelines advised those with symptoms or a high risk of exposure should avoid public transportation.
Frieden said the video had been vetted and was accurate despite the obvious conflict.
Perhaps he should rethink this example of the often inaccurate and bad advice that's come out of the CDC, like that given to Amber Vinson, the Dallas nurse who treated the Ebola-infected Liberian national Thomas Duncan.

We’re not doing satire or parody here. We’re not taking advantage of the situation for that.
