It looks to me that the CDC guidelines are inadequate, that is the problem, NOT "breech of protocol" and clearly Ebola is a lot more easily transmitted, than the CDC wants us to believe.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Baghdad Bob Frieden is a liar.

[ClearCase_guy]

The CDC is either dishonest, or else they don’t understand their business very well. Perhaps they have become too political and less medical.

[Mrs. P]

This is almost identical to HIV/AIDS. We were given false information in the beginning of that too.

[fatnotlazy]

Apparently, the CDC and other medical “experts” don’t know squat about Ebola, but rather than admit to their own ignorance of the disease, it’s much easier to just blame the nurse.

[SpaceBar]

When humanity finally does succeed in wiping itself off the planet, it will be attributed to a “clerical error” or “technical glitch” where no one can be blamed.

[Real Cynic No More]

Perhaps she contracted the virus on the patient’s first visit to the hospital when it was not known that he had the virus? Could that have been the case? Is that possible?

Frieden is an idiot to start casting blame at this stage in the game. He’s nothing more than a political puppet on behalf of the administration. Has he accomplished anything at all as head of the CDC? If he has, I haven’t seen it.

[Sooth2222]

According to CDC, the virus is capable of surviving on surfaces outside of a host for up for 23 days.

I would suggest that the gov't drones are trying to cover their butts. The protocols likely weren't breached, the protocols are most likely inadequate.

Doctors Are Furious At The CDC For Blaming The Texas Nurse Who Got Ebola From A Patient

[txrefugee]

Can’t wait to hear Dr. Know-It-All’s explanation of why this fully “protected” nurse contracted ebola when the girlfriend and her family were quarantined inside the apartment loaded with Duncan’s bodily fluids for five days and have no symptoms.

[Brother Cracker]

[PAR35]

The Bozo’s theory is that since he and his agency are perfect, it has to be the fault of the victim. He doesn’t know what happened, but he knows enough to say. “It ain’t be my fault’.

[MarineBrat]

I think it would be a good photo opp for Obama to be seen in the trenches taking care of those Obola patients.

[BitWielder1]

Emergency personnel does not wear hazmat gear all the time.
When do they know when to start? When it's too late for the first victim, that's when.
If the nurse didn't have proper warning, equipment or training, then who's breach is it?

[PapaBear3625]

By CDC's own guidelines, Ebola is supposed to require Biosafety Level 4 gear (space suit).

"Gown, gloves, mask, and eye shield" is Level 2.

[I want the USA back]

It’s spread through fluids. Breathing releases gases plus water vapor and fine droplets of saliva. They travel through the air and infect.
When is everyone going to admit this?

[Brother Cracker]

[caligatrux]

It is more infectious than we have been led to believe.

[SE Mom]

At work- please ping me!

[Toespi]

The liberal CDC has to make a decision. They have to decide are they going to protect the people first, or are they going to continue to make protecting Obama their first priority.

[Grampa Dave]

At this point a lot of Freepers are thinking, "excuse my language, but how in the **** are the hospital personnel contracting this while supposedly in protective gear but Duncan’s family is not infected while interacting unprotected with his bodily fluids????"

The answer to the question is shown below. The woman in the protective gear is/was wearing the CDC's recommendation for protective gear.

Think of the VA and its problems when you think about the CDC. Both are controlled and staffed by liberals, who really aren't that concerned with doing their job properly. They are concerned about increasing their budgets and span of control instead of good results.

Thanks to Black Agnes for posting the link to this picture last week.

bgill has some scary photos of how well trained (not) our front line care givers are/were.
