2nd nurse with Ebola called CDC before boarding flight several times [CDC allowed her to fly]
CBS News ^ | 10/15/2014

Posted on 10/15/2014 5:30:15 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

In the case of Amber Vinson, the Dallas nurse who flew commercially as she was becoming ill with Ebola, one health official said "somebody dropped the ball."

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that Vinson called the agency several times before flying, saying that she had a fever with a temperature of 99.5 degrees. But because her fever wasn't 100.4 degrees or higher, she didn't officially fall into the group of "high risk" and was allowed to fly.

Officials in the U.S. have been trying to calm fears over the Ebola crisis, but time and again events have overtaken their assurances.

Since we know more now, I wonder if Uhbama will be stating....

“If I had another daughter, she would look like Amber....”

Seriously, I agree, though. The flag should be “from West Africa” or “with Duncan”.

I voted in Georgia on Monday for this very reason.

one health official said "somebody dropped the ball."

Failing to restrict or limit flights from Ebola-ridden nations - "somebody dropped the ball."

Failing to even ask passengers to have their temperature taken at the airports before boarding flights - "somebody dropped the ball."

Failing to have the first Dallas family properly quarantined - "somebody dropped the ball."

Failing to advise the second nurse to not board the flight - "somebody dropped the ball."

Funny how these patterns of "accidental incompetence" are not called the willful negligence, as they actually are... the real question is WHY it is being willfully done.

Why are they being willfully done?

Do you remember Bill Ayers' statements back in the Sixties about having to eliminate roughly 25 million Americans to effect the revolution?

Now you know the means.

” ‘I think there are two different parts of that equation,’ he continued. ‘The first is, if you’re a member of the traveling public and are healthy, should you be worried that you might have gotten it by sitting next to someone? And the answer is no.’

” ‘Second, if you are sick and you may have Ebola, should you get on a bus? And the answer to that is also no. You might become ill, you might have a problem that exposes someone around you,’ he said.”


You just can’t make this $hit up.

You know, “Planet of the Apes” was right, we are going to kill ourselves off and the monkeys will rule the world since they are immune to this disease of modern, hyper - stupid civilization.

What are the odds of Freiden getting fired this week? What are the odds of him getting thrown in jail? What are the odds of him being tarred and feathered OLD SCHOOL? Would the government consider tarring and feathering a hate crime today? Let’s bring it back in vogue for these PC weasels.

This doesn’t make any sense at all, if she was concerned that much, she wouldn’t have flown. If she did call the CDC, She was suspicious that does have it.

I’m pretty sure this disease comes from or is shared with other apes or monkeys.

99.5? That's less than one degree of fever, with the reference temperature being 98.6 F.

I'm not surprised that this nurse was told not to worry about it. It really doesn't seem like much.

BUT, since she had been in a high-Ebola-risk situation, it probably would have been more prudent for her to go ahead and stay off the flight...

Indeed. Blaming wildly, deflecting at all costs.

Ebola Reston kills Apes and not humans. This is 5he Zaire strain, which does the opposite.

she did the right thing....

you know sometimes people just can't cancel air fare unless there's a death....maybe some freepers are rich beyond belief but most of us would not want to flush an airline ticket costing perhaps a $1000 down the drain..she did her part....the CDC failed the country, again....

still waiting for the anti Romneys to admit that they doomed the country when they voted for bammey boy....but I doubt any of them would come clean....

elections have consequences....we might have gay "marriage" with Romney but we wouldn't have Russia invading Ukraine, nor Isis annihilating innocents all across the middle east, nor have obola patients given free access to our shores...not to mention the Irs, the VA, employment at a near 40 year low, etc...
