FYI-don't want to alarm anyone but just saw on the news that a second nurse has come down with Ebola. They are looking to notify any one on that flight on October 13.

The news report I heard had the flight originating in Cleveland. It's a Frontier flight.

Yes it is the flight back that they are concerned about. She flew to Cleveland earlier in the week but after flying back to Fort Worth on the October 13, she developed the fever.

From what I've read, Ebola patients are not contagious until they show symptoms so if she didn't develop a fever until she got back, she shouldn't have infected anyone. If she started the fever on board, different story.

There is so much not being reported in the media. The relative this nurse went to see is now quarantined with a low grade fever, the same as the nurse had on the flight back. Too many 'laymen' are now involved for leaks to be contained. It's getting out of hand fast. Kent State held a press conference as some of the nurse's relatives she visited work there and reported to work the next day. Now they have been put on a 21 day leave. A day late and a dollar short.....

That's what the CDC says. But then the CDC also said that it wasn't that easy to contract the disease and yet 2 healthcare workers who were in a hospital situation have contracted it from one man who lied to get into the country. I'm not sure they know enough about ebola to know how it really is passed from person to person. They're just guessing and trying to keep everyone from panicking while they are still allowing people from West Africans countries to come here on their word that they have not been in contact with ebola patients. They also have not isolated any of the people who came in contact with the original patient. They are letting them monitor themselves and suggesting they don't travel but not really restricting them from doing so.

I, for one, would not want to be the person sitting in the airline seat used by this woman on her flight back. I don't trust the CDC that far.

and that guy who lied knew he had it thought he be slick and come here for better treatment then he would have gotten in his country now his family is saying he didn't get fair treatment.

And suing the hospital where he infected at least 2 nurses.
