CBS News Medical Correspondent Dr. John LaPook reports that Vinson called the CDC several times before boarding the plane concerned about her fever and was told she was OK to board.

But Obola said that everything is under control!

I believe that this outbreak was done on purpose.

They want Ebola to spread.

No. A full blown nationwide outbreak would hit Obama's ghetto base particularly hard. It is political correctness combined with incompetence combined with pre-election ass-covering that has led to this.

The first question should have been: “WTF are you doing on a plane???!!!”

My unprofessional response would have been, “You d%$#F@!#K, WTF are you doing in Cleveland?”

Agreed. I was just trying to point out how irrelevant the whole temperature base of 98.6 is.

Thank you, thank you, a million times, THANK YOU! I’m an RN also, and I would have been VERY concerned at any spike in my temp, and would have STAYED home! Come on, it’s common sense!

Our next CDC director will make Friedan look like an absolute neo-Republican.

We will probably have Obama nominate someone like Dr. Al Sharpton, or someone even worse.

Don't say I didn't warn you all.

Suspicion: Frieden is not well-liked by this administration. They are itching to put someone much more partisan in his place.

Wonder what scandal is bubbling up at the White House that makes Ebola the top of every news cycle.

More gang related shootings happen in Chicago in an hour than have died from Ebola in the US.

What is Obama and the news media hiding?

He came in from N.Y. I believe and his big thing was anti-smoking. Actually the CDC is not a primary care type organization...I’m surprised that they jumped out into the forefront on this deal. I suppose there was a sort of vacuum to be filled. To be honest - there is NO organization that connects all primary hospitals in the U.S. that has any real power. It’s a bit of a hodge-podge.

I’m curious as to why you think Frieden is not well-liked by them. What do you see that points to that idea?

I just read that The Flying Nurse’s flight had MANY nurses on board (convention) ~ who’ve been treating patients up until today. Yipes!!!

Not to interrupt the back-and-forth, but I doubt Frieden is thought of ill by any means. He made a couple gaffs when speaking too straightforward on what he thought may have happened in Texas (and it's beginning to look like the guy was right).

He doesn't have the power to make all the various thousands of profit/non-profit hospitals in this country do what he and the CDC says....and he can't control the airlines.

What do you call a government expert?

A bureaucrat.

“I hope the nurse is lying otherwise CDC could be considered incompetent”

The CDC (Center for Disease CONTAGION) defines the word incompetent!

Remember the “ReeEE-Co-Laaaa!” TV ad for throat lozenges, as the guy blew into some sort of horn? Maybe Dallas can hire him to sing ‘Eeeee-bo-laaaaaa!” around that hospital!

“What if her normal temp is lower than 98.6? My normal temp is 97.2, 99.5 for me would be a definite fever.”

That was my first thought-

I have the SAME issue—I’m at 97.2 for normal too, so at 99.5 I am sick.

They are reacting to this and managing it using a P&P manual; they are not taking ANY variables into account. And the biggest variable of all is PEOPLE.

They are not all the same, they don’t get sick the same way, they don’t even respond to “volunteer quarantine” all the same way—some will stay home, some will go out for soup and some will get on a plane.

Then on the return trip, her temp was 99.5 before she got on the plane, but- what if it went up to 102 in MID-FLIGHT?? How can they not think of these things—but I (and a boatload of other people) CAN??

Their stupidity is stunning; to think these same people have some of the most deadliest diseases at their fingertips, is BEYOND scary...

She was visiting family, not at the convention that the other nurses were at from that flight, right?
