The second Dallas health care worker who contracted the Ebola virus was on a flight the day before her symptoms, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Wednesday.
Now, the CDC wants to interview all 132 passengers who were on the plane with her.
The woman's name is Amber Vinson, the Reuters news agency reported.
"Because of the proximity in time between the evening flight and first report of illness the following morning, CDC is reaching out to passengers who flew on Frontier Airlines flight 1143 Cleveland to Dallas/Fort Worth Oct. 13," the CDC said in a statement. The flight landed Monday at 8:16 p.m. CT.

The first healthcare worker infected, the young nurse, I heard was a critical care nurse.
ReplyDeleteThat's nuts.
Most hospitals have trained Infectious Disease Unit nurses, who are around to deal with AIDS, HIV, Hepatitis.....
The ball was serious dropped on this whole thing, which never should have happed to begin with if the Obama administration hasn't chose to ignore the growing problem in Africa.
Here's the plan. The disease will break out as catastrophic around August of 2016. Obama, under Martial Law, will cancel voting because of spreading the disease. This way he can continue his efforts to destroy America.

ReplyDeleteYou are just overreacting. Fear is just silly.....so said the CDC.
