The latest Dallas nurse to contract Ebola boarded a plane in Cleveland two days ago with a slight fever and should not have flown, federal health officials said Wednesday.
Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told reporters that the nurse had a temperature of 99.5 degrees before she got on the plane on Monday.
Because of that reading, and because she had treated Thomas Eric Duncan, the first Ebola patient diagnosed in the United States, the nurse should not have been on the plane, he said.
“She did not vomit. She was not bleeding,” Frieden said. “So the level of risk of people around her should be extremely low.”

Bloomberg hacks shouldn’t be in charge of anything.
Yea but did she sweat and rub up against anyone while loading or unloading from the plane.
Thomas Eric Duncan should not have traveled either .... especially not into the USA.
Yes common sense should have told the nurse not to travel....but lacking that, the CDC was suppose to monitor these nurses, weren’t they?
“She did not vomit. She was not bleeding,” Frieden said. “So the level of risk of people around her should be extremely low.”
Should be???
Lord have mercy upon us!
Was she told not to travel if she developed a low-grade fever in advance, or is the CDC again claiming that a nurse violated protocols without any justification in the protocols?
Proof that whoever writes the scripts for the puppets at the CDC HAS to say something sensible every once in a while. Not only should she NOT have traveled but when she heard what was happening in her hospital in Dallas she was ethically bound to report to a Cleveland hospital foe quarantine!
At least she wasn’t drinking a Big Gulp
She had a fever on that flight(99.5) nuff said, she spread her germs to everyone on board that flight
Then why the hell take temperature reading from people coming in from West Africa? Simply look for blood and guts on their clothes.
How do we know what her fever was on the flight?
Perspiration. A drip of it rolling off your nose ,, as you sneeze a wet one ,, at baggage claim,,
Ay yi yi..
Right. They say 99.5. Was that before or after she took meds?
They she should not have traveled.
WHERE THE HELL IS THE CDC MAKING SURE THE PEOPLE ARE QUARANTINED?? NO SHIT SHE SHOULD NOT HAVE TRAVELED!! center for Disease CONTROL AND PREVENTION. Your job is to arrive in foreign countries when out brakes occur and recommend the entire village and inhabitants be napalmed and incinerated before it spreads. If does get here you ban travel and quarantine and SHUT THE GOD DAMNED BORDERS DOWN WITH SHOOT TO KILL ORDERS FOR ANYONE THAT ATTEMPTS TO CROSS.... PERIOD.
Nothing about when she went to Cleveland (or was she flying through there from somewhere else?). What did she do in Cleveland? Maybe a public event with thousands in attendance?
NOW he tells her...
Deserves repeating: Thomas Eric Duncan should not have traveled either .... especially not into the USA.
Wake up, Obama ....and get into the REAL world!!!!
