The thing with Ebola is that it spreads very slowly. Even in dirt-poor Africa where custom dictates you basically take a bath with the corpse of your dead relative and people believe you catch Ebola by saying the word "Ebola", it has taken like a year to go from 1 to 10,000 people. If we start to see a real outbreak here, we'll have time to train our health care professionals. And we'll probably scale the level of our training to match the risk. If you want to be pissed at the CDC, be pissed that they told the second Ebola nurse that it was cool for her to fly with a slight fever.

Yeah, about nurse #2... I'm wondering what the real story is. She says she was given the ok by the CDC with a low-grade fever but that seems like a bullshit story in my opinion. The CDC is saying she lied about when she first started to feel symptoms (before the initial flight to Ohio). Maybe she lied, maybe she didn't. I really don't know. But to be safe the CDC should have kept a special eye on people who had direct contact with Thomas Duncan and made sure they really stayed home to monitor themselves instead of flying to Ohio to potentially infect all those wedding gowns she tried on. Lol... kinda joking but you get my point, right? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
