Key Question: How Did Dallas Worker Contract Ebola?


DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM/AP) - How did it happen?

That’s the big question as U.S. health officials investigate the case of a Dallas health worker who treated an Ebola patient and ended up with the disease herself.

These are professionals and this is the United States, where the best conditions and protective gear are available, unlike in West Africa, where the Ebola epidemic is raging in much poorer conditions.

The health worker wore protective gear while having extensive contact with Thomas Eric Duncan, the Liberian man who died Wednesday of Ebola at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital.

Officials say she has not been able to pinpoint any breach in infection control protocols, although there apparently was a breach, they say.

Experience shows that health workers can safely care for Ebola patients, “but we also know that it’s hard and that even a single breach can result in contamination,” Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

The situation also raises fresh concerns about whether any U.S. hospital can safely handle Ebola patients, as health officials have insisted is possible....

But you cannot possibly catch it on public transportation?

Hey dumbass, did you not bother reading the link I posted in the other thread? The nurses weren't in full protective gear until the test confirmed Duncan had Ebola  3 days after he was admitted. That was well after they were exposed to his bodily fluids. That is how they contracted the virus. It was a very basic break down in the protocol and has nothing to do with whether anyone else might catch the disease.

So... Genius... What is your point. You think that everyone using public transportation always wears full protective gear?

There are 330 million people in this country. There have been at most 2 people in the US ever on any form of public transportation with Ebola.

That makes your odds of sitting beside someone with Ebola somewhat lower than winning the lotto.

The gaffe has nothing to do with the percentage of people in the Yukon who have Ebola (Barack was talking about bus and air travel in and around Ebola stricken regions)

The gaffe is about transmissibility

NBC's Snyderman faces credibility issues

NEW YORK (AP) — The quarantine against possible Ebola exposure ends this week for Dr. Nancy Snyderman, but the troubles clearly aren't over for NBC News' chief medical editor.

An admitted lapse in the quarantine, combined with a curiously imprecise explanation, unleashed a furious response. NBC must now decide whether Snyderman's credibility is too damaged for her to continue reporting on Ebola or other medical issues and, if so, for how long. The network would not comment.

You can't catch Ebola on a bus, but here is how one is to dress while burying the infected



And the question isn't really, is the disease communicable. Its more, why does Obamas CDC say quarantine any bus or plane or apartment etc that an Ebola victim may have been in or on, while Barack preaches that no one can get it on public transportation in areas of heavy outbreaks

Why the disconnect
