Greetings, MMC. :2wave:
That is all they're showing on the three major channels here! Understandable, I guess, since everyone doesn't turn their TVs on at the same time, and it is of local concern. Our mayor, senators, governor and house reps have all either been interviewed or made statements, and the various DC agencies have al sought to reassure everyone that things are under control. Lots of pictures of people wearing masks at the Cleveland airport, though - both workers and passengers. Ironically, I was just telling Vesper earlier today that I wasn't comfortable taking a plane to go on vacation! :shock:
Yeah and an hour ago.....CDC Freiden just stated that there will possibly be more cases coming in days. So there it is.....they know there is more.
Second US Ebola case 'very concerning,' more possible.....
The second infection of a Texas health care worker with the dangerous Ebola virus is "very concerning," officials said Wednesday, warning more US cases were possible in the coming days. The second woman should not have boarded a domestic flight in the days before she was diagnosed, though there was an "extremely low likelihood" that she could have infected fellow travelers, said Thomas Frieden, the head of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"She was in a group of individuals known to have exposure to Ebola. She should not have traveled on a commercial airline," Frieden told reporters. CDC guidelines outline the need for "controlled movement," and that does not include taking any kind of public transportation, he said. The CDC is seeking to interview 132 people who took the same Frontier Airlines flight as the woman on October 13 from Ohio to Texas. Frieden described the latest case as "very concerning" and said officials were preparing for more.....snip~
