2nd Duncan Nurse Confirmed Infected, Flew To Cleveland Before Diagnosis, 132 Fellow Passengers Sought
Freedom Outpost
Yesterday we learned of a 2nd Nurse, who treated Thomas Duncan, being officially diagnosed with Ebola. She lives alone but she was, of course, allowed to fly from Dallas to Cleveland shortly before being diagnosed. Now there is a desperate search for 132 people who shared her flight agenda.
Josh Levs and Holly Yan report:
The second Dallas health care worker with Ebola was on a flight from Cleveland to Dallas on Monday — the day before she reported symptoms, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Wednesday. Because of the proximity in time between the Monday evening flight and the first report of her illness, the CDC wants to interview all 132 passengers on her flight — Frontier Airlines Flight 1143 from Cleveland to Dallas/Fort Worth, which landed at 8:16 p.m. CT Monday, the CDC said.
The problem has landed and there is no stopping it. It is late in the game to be worrying about restricting flights to and from West Africa, when we can’t even restrict high-risk people within our country from flying. We need to be fighting Ebola on all fronts. Restricting international flights and sealing borders aren’t enough. What about interior flights, quarantines, and decontamination procedures?
Should this nurse have been grounded?
