http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Govern...t-Had-Layover-in-Dulles-International-Airport Local news station WJLA reports that the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notified United, the airline which transported Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan from Dulles International Airport to Dallas, Texas. However, the federal health agency abandoned its normal policy of informing fellow passengers of which flights Duncan took from Liberia to the U.S.WJLA/AP: Thomas Eric Duncan left Monrovia, Liberia, on Sept. 19 aboard a Brussels Airlines jet to the Belgian capital, according to a Belgian official. After layover of nearly seven hours, he boarded United Airlines Flight 951 to Dulles International Airport in northern Virginia. After another layover of nearly three hours, he then flew Flight 822 from Dulles to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, the airline confirmed. ... The CDC typically notifies an airline when it learns that an infectious person traveled on that carrier. The airline then turns over the flight manifest to the CDC, and health officials notify other passengers while the airline deals with crew members. In this case, the CDC told United but not the public what flights the man took. In an interview Wednesday, Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the CDC, suggested that doing so would divert public-health resources away from controlling an outbreak of the virus. He said the CDC was focused on finding and tracking anyone who came in contact with Duncan after he began showing symptoms. Read the rest of the story here.
Liberals are constantly demanding that we follow scientists. Well, the scientists at the CDC proposed an elaborate quarantine system in the last year or so of Bush's term to deal with this exact situation. Obama scrapped it. The only known way to stop the spread of diseases like ebola is through quarantine. We don't even examine people coming in here from the core infected areas. It would be unbelievable in any administration run by normal adults.

Ebola in Dallas: What We Know About the 1st U.S. Case As public health advocates had warned, the raging Ebola outbreak in West Africa has begun to affect Westerners, though the disease is difficult to spread casually. Thursday, news broke that a freelance NBC cameraman covering the outbreak in Monrovia, Liberia had tested positive for Ebola after experiencing symptoms of the disease. The cameraman, Ashoka Mukpo, had been working with chief medical correspondent Dr. Nancy Snyderman. NBC News is flying Mukpo and the entire team back to the U.S. so Mukpo can be treated and the team can be quarantined for 21 days. No Law Requires People to Tell Airlines They're Sick Snyderman told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow that she and the rest of her crew have shown no signs of the disease and have taken precautions while covering the outbreak, including washing their hands with bleach. The crew are quarantining themselves as a precaution. Dallas Ambulance Crew Who Brought Ebola Patient to Hospital Is Quarantined Ebola is contagious only when infected people are showing symptoms, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. People who have been exposed to Ebola will show signs of it within 21 days of exposure, the CDC said. "There is no risk to people who have been in contact with those who have been sick with Ebola and recovered, or people who have been exposed and have not yet shown symptoms," said Dr. Thomas Frieden of the CDC.

He returned to the hospital via ambulance Sunday. On Friday, he was listed in serious but stable condition. Stay with News4 and NBCWashington.com for more short
