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.

” CDC says can’t catch it airborne only by direct contact with bodily fluid.”
Which is clearly bullsh!t.
When a person becomes infected with Ebola virus, it begins to multiply within the body. After four to six days, on average, Ebola symptoms can begin. The period between infection with the virus and the start of symptoms is called the incubation period. For Ebola, this can be as short as 2 days or as long as 21 days.
Common Ebola Symptoms
Symptoms of Ebola often appear suddenly.
Common ones can include:
Fever
Sore throat
Weakness
Severe headache
Joint and muscle aches
Diarrhea
Vomiting
Dehydration
Dry, hacking cough
Stomach pain.
A rash, red eyes, hiccups, and internal and external bleeding may be seen in some people. When the rash develops on dark skin, it is often not recognized until the rash begins to peel. In pregnant women, abortion (miscarriage) and heavy vaginal bleeding are common Ebola symptoms. Death usually occurs during the second week of symptoms and is usually from massive blood loss
Freden just stated that since the nurse was working in the Dallas hospital, she should have not been allowed to fly. Can you believe that? Idiot!!! That begs the question: Why should people living in Liberia, etc. be allowed to fly here?
“Just wait when Ebola ‘mates’ with the common flu and becomes airborne if it hasn’t already happened.”
You know, this is already bad enough without people here just making up sci-fi nonsense.
These things dont “mate” with other sicknesses, and this stupidly repeated “airborne” or “it’s mutating 90000 times” crap is just people repeating loon bats on the internet.
Do we know if all of those homeland security folks change out their gloves between pat downs? I know that they weren’t in the past.
What gives? I’ve been hearing that clown Freiden say for days that all 76 of the care givers who came in contact with Duncan were under observation. How was this woman under observation if she was flying all over the damned country??
This spread of Ebola via air travel is prophetically similar to the end of the movie “Rise of the Planet of the Apes”. A deadly hemorrhagic fever spread throughout the world until the human race was wiped out. The graphic depiction of its spread along airline routes was one of the most simple but chilling cinematic devices that I have ever seen.
The CDC has said she was asymptomatic while on those flights. But that begs the question of course: why are they searching for her fellow passengers if she was asymptomatic?
Did he really say that? Gawd, you are kidding me. The whole O admin needs removal as soon as possible.
We'll all watch and see what happens to you from the safety of our underground concrete bunker out here in the middle of Nevada.
It's not as if this woman magically appeared sitting in her airline seat right before takeoff, you know. If the CDC wants all her fellow passengers on that particular flight to call in to ascertain their infection risk level, how come the curbside baggage handlers and the airport flightline personnel who loaded her luggage on the plane aren't being summoned by the CDC? What about the janitor who removed the trash bags at the Cinnabon kiosk near her departure gate -- you know, the bags containined the snot rag she sneezed in and threw away?
Just think about the infectious residue she could have left at any step along the way.
This woman's family in Ohio are all trembling with fear right now. Everyone hugged and kissed her on her arrival and departure. Think about it for a little while.
It sounds like she did a round trip flight to Cleveland AFTER treating the Ebola patient? Wow
Did she used toilet inside plane or Airport? Did she used seat cover? Did she washed her hands properly?
AHA. I’ve said this for two months now. We call the Africans primitive and unhygienic. And a single TSA worker will fondle the privates of hundreds of fliers with the same pair of gloves. AND, if you ask them to put on a fresh pair for you you will constitute a threat to them and they’ll make you miss your flight out of spite.
Wait.
I thought all of the medical personnel who came into contact with Duncan were being “closely monitored” by the CDC.
Does “closely monitored” mean “allowed to freely move about the air travel system”? It’s the most efficient system ever devised to spead communicable diseases around the world.
“Typhoid Amber”
Hell-o Nurse Barbie, why didn’t
you self-quarantine?
Was going to Kent State for the weekend really that important?
Assuming that's true, that exposure to one doesn't affect response to the other, there'd still be a problem. Wouldn't having flu along with Ebola intensify the symptoms such as sneezing and coughing that spread the disease?
CC
Really? How about: Did she use eating utensils? Did she use public toilets? Did she cough or sneeze? Was she sweating? Did she kiss anyone? Did she have sex?
