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.

Wrong again, no one posting on this site or any other site are making anything worse...

Once again, most all these dangerous events and problems destroying this country, our economy, our freedoms, our sovereignty etc, are being created by those in government, those in charge, and those who claim to be educated professionals.

Do you want to quarantine everyone with a .9 degree variance?

A low grade fever means an INFECTION. I know I had one when I was diagnosed with an infected gall bladder and had to be removed.

""The first pandemic wave, which was benign and caused few deaths, took place in the spring of 1918.

After a period of calm at the beginning of the summer of 1918, the virus mutated, becoming extremely virulent, and simultaneously caused millions of deaths throughout the world during the following months of October and November.

A milder third wave occurred during the initial months of 1919, while the fourth and final wave spread during the first months of 1920.""

I don’t know but who the hell would blame them if they do when we have a president who is politicizes everything including a killer virus.

And that's probably why this second nurse of a certain skin pigment is being transferred to Emory which has a 100% survival rate. Now, it seems the first nurse is being discriminated against by being cared for in a major fail hospital. Where's the outcry from Nina's community? Let Team Duncan yell all they want.

The new EVD air-to-air transmission-method deniers on the orthodox Ebola boards have apoplexy whenever I remind them that EVD has in fact already been airborne for 3 weeks, in the infected, contagious passengers aboard Brussel’s Airlines, Delta and now Frontier Airlines.

When Ebola breaks out in Washington, watch O’Bola cancel his golf and fundraising plans and escape again with his family aboard an unannounced, unpurposed Air Farce 1 flight to Brazil, like he did right after Fukushima when intelligence informed him the 1st radioactive wave would arrive by jet-stream over North America 2-3 days after the 3 reactor melt-down.

The good news? This time the O’Bolas won’t be coming back.

I’m sure this has been said before by others, but love to hear myself talk and I’ll try to add it up:

1. Doctor’s are miracle workers, just like on TV they solve all problems within a 1 hour period, less if you DVR it and bypass commercials.

2. Ebola has a mortality rate north of 50%, higher if it isn’t treated right away. Clearly this is the result of the Sequestration, TEA Party, and high-fructose corn syrup.

3. Mr. Duncan had no way of knowing that he had Ebola. The fact that he helped transport another ebola victim and got her bodily fluids on him was no reason for him to suspect a darn thing. In fact, it was probably Bush, Cheney, and Rove keeping news of Ebola secret from Liberians.

4. Approximately 75 healthcare workers were involved in Duncan’s care. That’s right 75. Seventy-five. Not 175, or 1,750. Clearly a minimal effort by Dr.’s in white lab coats... Hmmmm... what other hate group wears white? Coincidence?!

5. Some healthcare professionals have now contracted Ebola. Any rational thinker would easily conclude that the root cause of this is global warming. To blame it on Mr. Duncan, is just Crazy!

6. Estimated cost to help Mr. Duncan survive was $500K. Costs to the hospital, community (in many forms), treatment of those infected... probably going to reach well into 7 figures. It’s about time US taxpayers started paying for their colonialism in Liberia. Yep, justice at last.

So to add it up, Mr. Duncan’s passing was the result of racism. And we need to further open the doors to our borders. Yep, just take the door right off the hinges. What’s the worse thing that could happen...

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

Do they think she french-kissed all the passengers?

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?

Hmmm, this Ebola is *really* gonna put a dent in the "mile high club" thing...

NO Cheers, unfortunately.

CDC director Dr Tom Frieden said on Wednesday that Miss Vinson ‘should not have traveled on a commercial airline’ while self-monitoring for Ebola symptoms.

Top. Men.
