If I sat on that plane near this woman and found this out that she was traveling in this condition, I'd be extremely irate. Quote
Dave in Green Posted October 15, 2014 Report Posted October 15, 2014 Dallas hospital workers who came in contact with the Ebola patient were not supposed to travel for 21 days until it was determined they were showing no signs of being infected. This woman made a major error in judgment. New guidelines are being put in place to make it mandatory that these people not have contact with the public for 21 days. It's now becoming obvious the Dallas hospital was not fully prepared to deal with Ebola. Other hospitals in the U.S. have successfully treated Ebola patients flown back from Africa under quarantine and have reported no cases of health workers being infected thanks to strict adherence to safe treatment protocol -- an absolute requirement in controlling the spread of this disease.
