Officials have said they don't know how Pham became infected.

Not only is the current Administration totally incompetent it appears most of the major players in many of our public service offices are clueless also. In China the CDC director would be fired and possibly executed if it was decided he knowingly placed the public at risk of such a deadly disease. Maybe after the mid-term elections the administration will allow the flights from West Africa to be banned with the exception of military flights carrying aid workers and supplies to that area. It is sad that the entire population of the United States has been placed at risk of contracting a deadly virus just so the Administration can maintain their " Open Borders " policy in an attempt to hold onto the Hispanic vote!

Aid workers are among those with the most exposure to Ebola patients and fatalities. Aid workers - if you count health care personnel as such - have thus far been the only one's infected with the disease in this country. And exactly those at highest risk, those with the most exposure you want to exempt from a travel ban that you think should be instituted. That's just brilliant!

Hey give the vectors a little time to work, the first case didn't show symptoms until sept 24.

I think they should be allowed to come back after a 2 month quarantine at gitmo

Troubling allegations

Also Tuesday, National Nurses United made troubling allegations about the hospital, claiming "guidelines were constantly changing" and "there were no protocols" about how to deal with the deadly virus."

"The protocols that should have been in place in Dallas were not in place, and that those protocols are not in place anywhere in the United States as far as we can tell," NNU Executive Director RoseAnn DeMoro said. "We're deeply alarmed."

Nurses were told to wrap their necks with medical tape when equipment left their necks exposed; they felt unsupported and unprepared, and they received no hands-on training, union co-president Deborah Burger said.

Everything is under control folks...That nurse in Spain was faulted for rubbing her glove against her face .

What's your point? That doesn't actually change the premise of my post, does it?

well if the premise of your post was that robby suggested letting aid workers fly out of the infected areas, it was a false premise because he only suggested letting them fly in along with supplies.

I see. So the idea is to send aid workers without return tickets. That's even more brilliant!

This second healthcare worker flew from Cleveland to Texas on October 13. Now they (CDC) are trying to get into contact with the 130 something passengers.

You cast the net wide and then narrow it down. That's how containment usually works.

I was under the impression that whomever was treating and or involved with taking care of Duncan had restricted movement. Not necessarily a quarantine but being restrictive in such a way that it would be easy to track who new victims of Ebola came in contact with.

I can't speak for Robby on this. I said they should be allowed to return after proper quarantine. That's actually just common sense.

[Dan and Judy 614]

Is this nurse protected . ?

Now we know how the nurses got infected, They dressed like the nurse in the video for the first two days of treating the patient. After they found out it was definitely Ebola they switched to Hazmat suits.
