More idiocy from the CDC, who assured Frontier Airlines that their employees were in no danger of contracting Ebola because the nurse who exposed them to the virus, Amber Vinson, wasn’t very symptomatic at the time of her flights.

The CDC has now revised that statement because it turns out Nurse Vinson had a more advanced case of Ebola than first thought.

Associated Press:

The president of Frontier Airlines says a nurse who was on flights between Dallas and Cleveland and who later tested positive for Ebola may have been at a more advanced stage of the illness than previously thought.

Barry Biffle emailed employees Friday about the findings by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. He said the CDC has assured the Denver-based airline that crewmembers on the flights are at a very low risk of exposure.

The airline put the pilots and flight attendants on leave for 21 days, which health experts consider the outer limit of how long it would take someone exposed to Ebola to become sick.

Biffle says passengers on Amber Joy Vinson’s flight from Dallas to Cleveland on Oct. 10 and her return flight to Dallas on Monday have been notified.

Contrast the CDC’s incompetence with the actions of Ohio health officials who are very aggressive in leaving no stone unturned in finding people who were exposed to Nurse Vinson.

CNN:

In an effort to further quarantine the deadly virus, the Ohio Department of Health, upped the ante on specific Ebola monitoring requirements on Saturday for those potentially affected by the deadly virus.

  • they are lying. How can she have a more advanced case when the other nurse was a part of the same team of nurses assigned to the patient? I bet you this ebola targets melanin so the more you have, the worse off you are; this is why they are not too worried, only ‘certain people’ will really die from it. This new announcement is probably because she is getting worse, worse than the asian nurse, let’s see who dies from it.

  • I would be worried if they say you are in stable condition, Duncan was in stable condition the day before he died.
