WAKE UP, DR. FRIEDEN: CDC head criticized for blaming Ebola 'protocol breach' on infected nurse

Well, here are just the facts. The nurse called the CDC and told them she had a 99.5 degree temperature. She called them not once, not twice but SEVERAL times. The CDC told her that she should fly anyway because her temperature wasn't 100.4. Then they have the audacity to to blame her?

I heard that yesterday. I am at this point completely flabbergasted, disgusted, and appalled. And I don't use those words much. Much less all three at once.

Yes .. simply incredible how awful that response was. I still say the nurse should have known better, despite what the CDC said, and not flown. Clearly whoever told her to fly should be fired, and possibly face criminal charges.
