Good to know but this does little to quell fears





Also patient zero has been traced to a two year old child December 6 2023 I believe. ETA not sure which country she was from.

So this all started from a time travelling toddler.

I get it was justa typo but makes a good read.

Oops that was a typo I was trying to correct when my ipad crashed .

Yeah.. I dont think anyone in ohio has anything to worry about.. except her fiancee.

Even though the pair of you could end up being right.
Isn't this how it all starts, by thinking nothing will happen? Its not really something to be so cavalier about in my opinion.

You are absolutely right. I was thinking of the woman in Spain that went on vacation for a week. My mistake. Thank you for clarifying.

She was cleared to fly.

by the hospital

by the CDC.



She asked. THEY said it was okay. And they are supposed to know more than a nurse!



Stuff happens...let's worry instead about damage control and containment then blame.

I'm watching the news channels. Fox, "O'Reilly", guest said that she may not have called the CDC. They're still trying to determine what she did.

Well the head of the cdc testified to congress today that the nurse did call in.

He parrots what his subordinates tell him.

a reply to: suz62
Agreed but all this blame the nurse business just takes the heat off the policies that allowed improper handling of a sick patient. They have already said that the nurses were wearing gowns and not full gear. If we hold the nurse responsible then we also have to hold the person she called responsible all while no strict guidlines have been givin to hospitols on how to effectivly handle the people that may be crossing the border right now and making their way to an emergency room near you or eye.

Ebola has been around since the 60's. The medical community has had 50 years to get it right.

It takes PROLONGED CONTACT (such as mopping up body fluids) with the virus unless someone is already immunodeficient.

Not true.
Simply not true.

Ohio bridal store closes after Ebola patient Amber Vinson's visit

An Ohio bridal store closed Thursday after Ebola patient Amber Vinson visited the shop this weekend.

A spokesperson for Coming Attractions Bridal and Formal in Akron, Ohio told WKYC 3 that it closed voluntarily after speaking with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It will not reopen until it gets an official's go-ahead.

The store's owner, Anna Younker, told ABC News that Vinson came to the shop with seven friends to look for bridesmaid dresses. Vinson bought her own wedding dress there last summer.

She said Vinson did not show any signs of feeling ill.

"Very intelligent lady," Younker told CNN. "All her friends were nice."

What else can she do?

This nurse should lose her license for sheer, unadulterated stupidity. She knew she was infected.

Ebola patient Amber Vinson in Akron to plan wedding, fiance now in quarantine

AKRON, Ohio -- Ebola patient Amber Joy Vinson was in Tallmadge planning her own wedding this weekend and shopped for bridesmaid dresses at a bridal shop in Akron; now her fiancé of three months is self-monitoring for Ebola symptoms in Dallas.

Vinson had announced plans to marry over the summer, long before the threat of Ebola reached the United States. After Vinson, a nurse, cared for Ebola patient Eric Thomas Duncan in Dallas last week, she traveled home to Tallmadge to make arrangements for the wedding.

Summit County Public Health officials said Vinson was cautious during her time in Ohio, visiting only a select group of family and friends. Officials have so far determined that 12 people in Ohio had contact with Vinson, eight of whom are under self quarantine. Four are in frequent communication with public health staff.

The fiancé, who lives in Texas, called his workplace and told them he had been around Vinson before she got sick, according to WFAA Television in Dallas.

Coming Attractions, the bridal store that Vinson visited in Akron Saturday, closed indefinitely Thursday. Shoppers who visited the store from noon to 3:30 p.m. that day are being told to call the Summit County Ebola hotline, 330-926-3939, for instructions.

A store clerk said Vinson had already bought her dress and came back Saturday to look for bridesmaids gowns.

She took care of an Ebola patient and had a fever before she went to Ohio. Brainless. You err on the side of caution rather than expose hundreds of people.


Actually, I think she was being selfish. She wanted Burger King - HER way, right away.

I will bite.. where did that come from..

Nurse flew there after treating someone with a bad disease.. then her actions caused someone to lose a lot of their livelyhood..

That bridal shop owner came off as a real liar to me. She called the health dept on her own , my ass she did. Shes just worried about losing customers. Yes indeed she's lost all that fabric, it should all be destroyed. Hope they thought to go through all the pins on the premises as to who got pricked by them. Shame she's such a liar though. Hope they aren't using her testimony for symptoms as a guide to what went on with Amber Vinson. We need people to be honest so we can know what the actual onset of symptoms are and when they might occur. She just wants to act as if Amber was fine and enjoyed herself at the bridal shop, so people still go there.

UPDATE :
Re some of the the symptoms Amber is alleged to have had for days before her flight back to Dallas ( over the weekend in cleveland)
Muscle aches
Malaise
Fatigue

The people on the plane should be all right, but it doesn't change the fact that there is still a very slight chance for one of them to be sick and because of that all of them need to put their lives on hold for 21 days just to be sure.

a reply to: violet

What makes you say the bridal shop owner is a liar?

When I saw her on CNN, she seemed quite reasonable, intelligent, and calm. I'm just curious. Maybe you saw or read something I didn't see?

a reply to: StoutBroux

Sorry, I'm afraid you've missed the thread title here. This one is about her having symptoms before leaving Dallas. The return flight home is another story / thread about her calling the CDC for her return flight home FROM Cleveland. There's been no reports she called the CDC on her way TO Cleveland. So this is putting the blame back on her, partly, because the CDCshould have had rules in place e where anyone who's been exposed to ebola , should be placed under surveillance and not permitted to be roaming around infecting others.
