The second Dallas healthcare worker to be diagnosed with Ebola flew on Oct. 13, the day before she reported symptoms.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are asking all passengers on that flight to call the agency.
According to the flight's crew, the healthcare worker, 29-year-old Amber Jay Vinson, showed no signs or symptoms of illness while on Frontier Airlines Flight 1143 from Cleveland to Dallas-Fort Worth. She was reportedly in Akron to visit family, according to the Ohio Department of Health.
The plane that may have carried the virus is being held and cleaned at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, ABC 5 reports.

Note he didn't say whose bodies or what ground.
nor did he specify, dead or alive.

Good grief....

“We have to rethink the way we address Ebola infection control, because even a single infection is unacceptable,” Dr. Thomas R. Frieden, director of the C.D.C., told reporters.
Is this is a trial and error approach??? We're supposed to trust that you will get it right the next time?
I hate to say it one more time but .... Just imagine if George W Bush was leading this train derailment? The Left would be howling like monkeys!

Dr. McCormick worked for the C.D.C. in 1976, when he helped investigate the first epidemic of Ebola in Central Africa.
“You know that once this guy is really ill and he’s hospitalized, there’s going to be a lot of contact, manipulation of blood specimens, cleaning up if he’s vomiting or if he’s got diarrhea,” Dr. McCormick said. “You certainly can’t assume that because he’s hospitalized and in this unit that everything is fine and everything that goes on will be without any risk. I mean, that’s just ludicrous to think that.”

We had a bit of a dustup in my neck of the woods today also.
"Three people who had entered the United States from Africa 19 days earlier came to Lourdes [Hospital] reporting symptoms of illness.
The hospital confirmed the three people are refugees from east Africa. The Ebola outbreak has been primarily concentrated in west Africa. The hospital would not reveal the gender of the patients, but said they were displaying symptoms of a cough, not Ebola."
The first reports came though the news station's FB page and generated a great deal of comment, much of it negative. "shame on you for spreading fear with that headline. The patients didn't even exhibit Ebola symptoms."The number of comments is now up to 723, not all of which I intend to read.
The bottom line is 3 individuals from Africa showed up at a local ER with a cough, someone informed a local news outfit, and the SHTF.
