Yeah, the story is tragic from every angle. What a shame. The hospital dropped the ball completely and repeatedly it seems. Hopefully similar situations will be handled better moving forward. One can only hope. It seems rather bleak thus far. My company announced it's Ebola isolation protocol today and it's nothing more than ordinary contact isolation measures, gown, gloves and a surgical mask- no foot covers or goggles mentioned.tara said:Blossom said:Today is day 21 from the first time Mr. Duncan presented to the ER and was sent home.LucyL said:Second Dallas Healthcare worker has tested positive.

I just heard an interview with his nephew. Sounds like the hospital were not onto it at all. Even knowing he had just come from Liberia, and that he had symptoms including a temperature of 103, they sent him home, then when they admitted him they sat on the blood test using their normal protocols, for a turn around of a few days, took a long time to get him into isolation, and didn't make any attempts to communicate with his family about what was happening - they found out he died from the media.

Sanjay Gupta on CNN just stated that Amber Vinson had called CDC from the airport in Cleveland when she realized she was running a low-grade fever and asked them for permission to board that plane and return to Dallas.
Gupta says that permission to board that plan was granted by CDC.
You cad, Frieden. You cad.
I'll admit openly to being angry for a good portion of the day.Charlie said:Dang Blossom.
I wanna rant so hard right now, but I will hold my tongue.
A Dallas nurse who took a commercial flight from Cleveland hours before reporting symptoms of Ebola says that the Center for Disease Control and Prevention told her it was okay to fly.
Vinson told CBS Dallas Fort Worth that she was feeling ill before boarding her flight. She had a low grade fever, but she said that officials told her it was okay to get on the plane. Vinson told CBS that she called the CDC several times with concerns.
Dallas County leaders are preparing to request a state disaster declaration because of the Ebola crisis.
The commissioners will meet Thursday to request additional state funding and resources.
The cost to the county for the first Ebola patient alone, Thomas Eric Duncan, was more than $1 million.
There have now been three people diagnosed in Dallas.
The latest, 29-year-old Amber Vinson, is a nurse who had extensive contact with Duncan before his death.
She is also the first Dallas patient to be transferred out of state for specialized treatment.

There's a lot that doesn't add up about all of this. I do wonder if there is more going on that's being withheld from the public. I can't help but be a bit skeptical.LucyL said:Blossom said:Today is day 21 from the first time Mr. Duncan presented to the ER and was sent home.LucyL said:Second Dallas Healthcare worker has tested positive.

Still amazing none of his first contacts have become ill, as he was pretty sick by the time he was admitted. Good news though. Something still doesn't add up as to how it got out of control so fast in west Africa.

I totally missed the part where the outbreak started last December. For some reason I thought I had read it was in March or April of this year. That does make the situation in the U.S. and Europe seem more hopeful.tara said:LucyL said:Blossom said:Today is day 21 from the first time Mr. Duncan presented to the ER and was sent home.LucyL said:Second Dallas Healthcare worker has tested positive.

Hope the terrible treatment he was given doesn't discourage others from seeking help if they start to show symptoms.
Doesn't seem that fast - started in December last year. I wonder if it could have been stopped if they'd received enough relevant support at the beginning.
