CDC confirms Texas patient is first case of Ebola diagnosed in U.S.

If only that nurse with a fever had called the CDC for instructions before flying to Dallas. What? She did? Several times? And they told her to go ahead and fly?

"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."

What type of retards are running the CDC?
That's what I wrote in another thread last night when this news broke. Yes, it what irresponsible for her to fly in the first place, but then she did call the CDC before returning when she had the fever starting. And the mental midgets say, yea, no problem, get on the plane. WTF? Who took that call and who made that decision? That person(s) need to be fired. Why is the press not pushing for the name of that decision maker? That decision could easily be considered criminally negligent.

Limbaugh said Fox is reporting that the cdc is trying to throw the girl under the bus and say she lied about how sick she was.

If she lied about how sick she was, then she may have been contagious prior to boarding. In which case it may be impossible to now find all the potential infections.
 
They knew she was sick enough that she thought it appropriate to call CDC. And that she had treated the ebola patient.

I only wish she could have flown sitting between those two criminals Shep Smith and Dr. Frieden.
 
It's an obvious attempt by the cdc to cya.
They're not saying that she lied about her temperature. I presume because they can't.
So they're making up a story about how she didn't "sound" sick enough or something.

I'll tell you what. IMO it doesn't matter if she lied or not. They knew she was in the group that had treated patient zero. That and that alone was enough to tell her to stay put in Cleveland. What she did flying out in the first place was reckless. What the CDC did was criminal IMO.

Let's get to the next question. If the CDC told her to stay put and not fly then is the CDC responsible for getting her to a location by private government plane that can evaluate her and treat her?

Keep in mind that there is a tradition in the courts that if the government denies you public transit for public health reasons then the government is responsible for refunding your ticket money at minimum. I think the CDC and the government simply didn't want to be burdened with the possible financial costs of this health worker so they told her to get on her commercial flight.

Obviously the woman was worried about the CDC response considering how many times she called the CDC for re-consideration.
