You have to wonder if these last two are real nurses, they aren't using this for a catalyst to their 15 minutes of fame.

The following is my opinion as a member participating in this discussion.
The ever changing story... All this time we've been told that she called the CDC. Apparently that's not true. According to her uncle, Ebola Nurse Amber did NOT call the CDC. She called 'a team of Texas health officials' who in turn relayed the symptoms they were told about to the CDC. The CDC then told the Texas team to tell Ebola Nurse Amber to go ahead and fly.
I still want to hear a recording of that phone call she made to the Texas health officials and I'd like to hear the phone call between them and CDC. I'd like to know exactly which symptoms she told the Texas team about and what the conversation between Texas and the CDC was like.
ABC News
Vinson did not directly call federal health officials for permission to board a passenger flight Monday, instead talking to a team of Texas health officials who relayed her symptoms to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, her uncle told ABC News.
“They called Amber back and told her, ‘The CDC is OK with it. You can travel,” Lawrence Vinson said today....
CDC officials said Thursday they are looking into a new timeline for Vinson’s symptoms, with the possibility that she was exhibiting symptoms for days before she sought medical attention. "[We have] started to look at the possibility that she had symptoms going back as far as Saturday ... which has to do with the bridal shop. But some more information that’s come through recently, we can’t rule out that she might have had the start of her illness Friday,” Dr. Chris Braden of the CDC said. “We need to back now to the flight on [Oct.] 10th to give our investigation the right context.”As an ATS Staff Member, I will not moderate in threads such as this where I have participated as a member.

Talk about crappy nicknames... Ebola Amber?
Typhoid Mary is known for her spreading typhoid. If people get sick from Ambers nearly week long shopping trip while sick, then she will have earned the nickname Ebola Amber. (it's not my invention .. I'm mostly sticking to 'Ebola Nurse Amber' )As an ATS Staff Member, I will not moderate in threads such as this where I have participated as a member.

This is what these people do. They omit steps that actually occurred. Now, second hand information is different than hearing it from the horses mouth. Come to think about it, Doctors seem to pay more attention to what the computer is asking them to ask patients than to what the patients are saying. If you tell them what your symptoms are when you come in, they blow you off. I guess this is acceptable nowadays. Never mind.
What's his phone number?

Funny, I made a thread the other day about this very topicwww.abovetopsecret.com... ....Even if Pham was a real case, I would bet my mortgage on the fact that Vinson is not, nor is this latest one. The only photo I have seen of Vinson looks like a Glamour Shots stock photo from years ago....

ETA: Funny, this lab worker "self" quarantined herself aboard a cruise ship....Nice!!
You know, I haven't researched this new nurse yet but when I heard it on the news I thought the whole thing was odd. Apparently she didn't or doesn't have symptoms but is self quarantined on a cruise ship. What happened to her home? How did she get to the cruise destination? Most people need to fly. It does appear very planned. "Hey honey, since I'm one of the nurses that had contact with Duncan, let's go on a cruise and then self quarantine in our cabin. Won't that be fuuuuun?" You have to wonder if these last two are real nurses, they aren't using this for a catalyst to their 15 minutes of fame. And righto, lets go flit about the world exposing hundreds when we should be self quarantining at the very least.
