DALLAS (Reuters) - A second Texas nurse who has contracted Ebola told a U.S. health official she had a slight fever and was allowed to board a plane from Ohio to Texas, a federal source said on Wednesday, intensifying concerns about the U.S. response to the deadly virus.
Amber Vinson, 29, flew from Cleveland, Ohio, to Dallas, Texas, on Monday, the day before she was diagnosed with Ebola, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.
Vinson told the CDC her temperature was 99.5 Fahrenheit (37.5 Celsius). Since that was below the CDC's temperature threshold of 100.4F, "she was not told not to fly," the source said. The news was first reported by CNN.
Chances that other passengers were infected were very low, but the nurse should not have been on the flight, CDC Director Dr. Thomas Frieden told reporters.
Vinson was isolated immediately after reporting a fever on Tuesday, Texas Department of State Health Services officials said. She had treated Liberian patient Thomas Eric Duncan, who died of Ebola on Oct. 8 and was the first patient diagnosed with the virus in the United States.
Vinson, a worker at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas, had taken a Frontier Airlines flight to Cleveland from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport on Friday. She returned to Dallas on Monday aboard Frontier Flight 1143.

now if we could get someone with ebola in there......
Do you have a link for that (crews sealing White House) because there’s absolutely nothing on the internet about it.
Nothing on CNN.com, nothing anywhere. Where did you hear that?!
are they trying to keep the Obola virus quarantined in the wh until his term is up?
That is one stupid, stupid nurse. She gives us a bad name. IF she recovers, take away her license. Nobody that stupid should ever be allowed near sharp objects.
She was going home to prep for her wedding. Given the info, I would guess 100% chance of at least kissing with intent to marry. The person that should be sweating bullets is her fiance.

I was being factitious. I hate using sarcasm tags as it takes all the fun out of it.
BTW the source was removed and was up only momentarily, according to bs.u.gud.gov
I think the name was something like Center for CONTAGIOUS Disease Control.
As Michelle Malkin pointed out, now they spend their time and our tax dollars, reducing our liberty by inflicting their decrees on: violent video games, bike helmets, children’s play equipment, gun control, etc.
They have been caught with loosey-goosey accounting. They have spent money earmarked for scientific work on interior decorating.
And they have their own fat personal slush fund from donors like Google.
This is what a diseased bureaucracy looks like; the CDC.
The local news said, and I am paraphrasing, but believe the content to be correct, that she had asked the CDC if she should fly.
CDC said NO!
Now that’s the gist of it. Somebody is lyin. Period.
Let’s hope these are just a few incident of this disease and nothing more.
However, as far as Obomola is concerned; time to go! I’m too upset to rant.
