Ebola on the horizon?

[longbow]

So how long was she at the airport, where was she before she left, and what gate was she at? Any way to check what the planes on either side of that gate went to?

Time it takes to find that info, won't matter. This simply can't be contained.

 

[longbow]

Any chance she was at a nurse training class? IF so, how many hospitals have those attendees gone back to work?

Presumably they were other Frontier airlines. Quick googling and I believe it was an Airbus A320. According to CLE terminal map, Frontier operates out of Concourse A, along with American and US Airways.

Looks like that concourse is for the big bodies.

(Planes, not people. I have no direct information on the body type of either the patient or other passengers. Obesity statistics make it a reasonable guess, though.)

Edit to clarify - not "wide body" as in jumbo jets, but "big" planes as opposed to regional turboprops.

ETA:

Atlanta, Chicago-O'Hare, Dallas/Fort Worth, Denver, Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, Las Vegas, New York-LaGuardia (begins October 26, 2014; ends December 19, 2014), Orlando, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, Raleigh/Durham, Tampa, Washington-Dulles Seasonal: Seattle/Tacoma, Trenton

That's where Frontier flies to/from from that concourse.

BREAKING: 2nd ebola worker flew Frontier flight 1143 from Cleveland to Dallas

Have you ever been to Cleveland? Ebola is the least of their problems.

I'm not happy with the laid-back approach to this. Gov and CDC aren't making common sense decisions with Ebola. Hey, are you a nurse that just treated and watched patient zero die? Maybe don't get on a ****ing plane.

Stop the flights from Ebola stricken countries, and CONTAIN this.

With every passing day that the President isn't on TV putting people on high-alert, I'm swaying ever closer to the "conspiracy" side of this ****.

 

[longbow]

If this screw up cause us to get to 6 or 7 different clusters, this will get real serious. We are just too mobile to contain it at that point.

For me, Occam's razor points more toward .gov ineptitude. Frankly, if it were planned, it wouldn't be going this smoothly.

I tend to agree with this.

The only other answer is that entire cities shut down for a month. Self-imposed quarantine.

 

[longbow]

I just took a quick look around before going to a meeting. Does any news source say what she was doing in Cleveland?

 

[pudly]

Still not a country.

Neither is DFW.

Conspiracy. Right. Because it is somehow 'conspiracy' to simply acknowledge that it is in government's best interest to let this burn awhile in the population. It's not in our interest, but of course it's in government's interest. Things will go badly for awhile, government will demand new powers in order to 'save' everyone, government watches as the virus slowly burns itself out in the population, takes all credit for 'saving' the country, and in the meanwhile picks up some brand new superpowers it can wield in the future. This is simply how the game is played. Every opportunity for government lies in the crisis. Conspiracy. Right.

This seems to be a pretty comprehensive resource for medical conferences. Nothing in Cleveland that weekend.

Oh, there was the Browns home game against the Steelers.

You don't think she might've gone there, do you?

Local Cleveland news says she was visiting family from October 8-13.

The healthcare worker was visiting family in Akron from October 8th to October 13th, according to the Ohio Department of Health.

"As of right now we do not have a case of Ebola in Ohio, but we are going to be working to identify any close contacts that the individual was in contact with in the state."

Hmmm... Frontier seems to think she was on the Oct. 10 1142 flight from DFW to CLE, arriving at about 10:00 pm. The article even mentions that.

Something is getting lost in translation.

Obama just cancelled a fundraiser to make a statement on Ebola.

Yep, its serious now. Not even Benghazi stopped a fundraiser.

Edit BREAKING: Family has identified the nurse as 29-year-old Amber Joy Vinson. Vinson is a registered nurse in Texas and Ohio.

Don't worry. The content of the speech will amount to little more than: "Everything is fine. Please stop bothering me with your Ebola and ISIS and economy problems: I've got a golf game to get back to. Go back to sleep while we destroy you. Thanks."

New compiled numbers from various country-specific sources as of Oct. 11: 8931 cases, 4471 deaths. This includes 2 US cases.

Still less than double (but barely so) cases from Sept. 10 (4846) and deaths (2375).

Relatively big jump in deaths, though, which reflects the higher recent mortality figures. Seems like 1:1 infection ratio. Each person that has it is "only" infecting 1 other person.

Reported cases confirmed by blood work at the WHO.I think the reality on the ground in Africa is much worse as reported by Doctors without borders.

"Soon after arriving in Monrovia, I realized that my colleagues were overwhelmed by the scale of the Ebola outbreak. Our treatment center, the biggest MSF has ever run, was full, and Stefan, our field coordinator, was standing at the gate turning people away."
Other families just pulled up in cars, let the sick person out and then drove off, abandoning them. One mother tried to leave her baby on a chair, hoping that if she did, we would have no choice but to care for the child.
Lots more at the source.
