This government circus would be kind of funny ... if people weren't dying and if it wasn't happening here.

Complete Headline: Ebola air scare in the US: Infected nurse flew on Frontier Airlines HOURS she was hospitalized ...and now the CDC trying to track down all 132 passengers aboard her plane
Amber Jay Vinson, the second nurse to be diagnosed with Ebola, was on a flight from Cleveland, Ohio, to Dallas just hours before she was hospitalized with the deadly disease.
Now, the Centers for Disease Control are trying to track down all 132 passengers who were aboard Frontier Airlines Flight 1143 on Monday with Ms Vinson over fears they could all have been exposed to the virus.
Everyone who was on board the plane is asked to call 1-800-CDC-INFO (1-800-232-4636) so that they can be interviewed by CDC doctors to determine who is at risk for possible exposure to Ebola.
Ms Vinson, 29, was one of the 76 medical workers from Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital who treated Thomas Eric Duncan, the Ebola 'patient zero,' and was told she was at risk for exposure to the disease.

Hows that? CDC says can't catch it airborne only by direct contact with bodily fluid. Do they think she french-kissed all the passengers?
"Jodie Fleischer @jodiewsb 9m9 minutes ago
Frontier plane that carried Ebola patient Monday flew 5x yesterday before her diagnosis- in & out of Atlanta Cleveland Ft Lauderdale #wsbtv"
As long as she kept her bodily fluids to herself, there should be nothing to worry about. /sarc
Amber Joy Vinson must be some kind of idiot! Apparently completely unconcerned about her fellow citizens, neighbors and family.
How about those Homeland Security folks...when will we start hearing something about them not wanting to get close to passengers.
Just wait when Ebola ‘mates’ with the common flu and becomes airborne if it hasn’t already happened.
the genie is out of the bottle woe be us
@abbydphillip: 2nd Ebola patient Amber Joy Vinson did NOT step foot on the Kent State campus in Ohio. She is a graduate. Also 3 family members work there.
I’m with you on that. I look at the picture of the young nurse and see someone who made the effort to get educated, and career in a field that helps people for a living. Someone who contributes to the civil society. Local reports (I’m in DFW) talk about her family being religious and generous...
...and then I hear relatives of Mr. Duncan suggesting that there was different treatment provided for him; insinuating that skin color was a deciding factor in treatment and ultimately his death. Then I get mad. Real mad.
@DebbieGoffa: Kent State: 2nd #Ebola patient is related to 3 employees. Patient’s visit to Ohio area prompts school to ask the 3 to stay away for 21 days
Someone said on twitter that she knows for a fact that this woman flew WITH a fever and still flew back to Dallas..I don’t know if that is true but if it is its a game changer for sure
She visited Akron, OH. Have a wedding there early Nov. NOT going. In about three weeks all h3ll will break loose between the flight and those she visited. The midwest needs to brace itself. Not airborne my butt.
Seriously. Anyone who got through nursing school should have had enough sense not to do this.
For that matter her supervisors should have had the sense not to have let her.
Gretchen Carlson/Fox just reported nurse was carrying a low grade fever on the flight.
