CLEVELAND - Officials with the Centers for Disease Control say the nurse who contracted the Ebola virus may have shown symptoms earlier than first believed.

During a press conference in Summit County on Thursday, the CDC says Amber Vinson may have experienced symptoms on Friday, the day she flew from Dallas, Texas to Cleveland.

Dr. Chris Braden with the CDC says they can “not rule out” that Vinson had symptoms on Oct. 10 and that now the passengers on the flight from Dallas to Cleveland will be “included in the investigation."

Even as a nurse, she didn’t know?

She is unbelievably selfish and stupid for doing what she did. I don’t believe she called the CDC either.

Ping.

So much for the ‘if you have ebola you won’t be doing anything to infect anyone else, you’ll be too sick!’ reasoning...

What I want to know is if she took tylenol/ibuprofen to lower her temp TO 99.5 before the trip back to Dallas or just lied about her temp and symptoms when she called the CDC.

The CDC is no different than a two-bit media hack. They have spent their reputation. We should not listen to one word they say from now on.

Defund the CDC! Medical issues are best handled at the local and state level. Let the power of the 10th Amendment be reasserted! Let freedom ring!

Ok then. Since you explained why she was exempt, everyone should stay off their backs.

“She is unbelievably selfish and stupid for doing what she did. I don’t believe she called the CDC either.”

The former is very true. Regardless of the latter, the former still applies.

I just don’t know what goes through someone’s mind...especially a medical professional who’s primary duty is “first do no harm.”

or just lied about her temp and symptoms when she called the CDC.

If that's the case, why wasn't her temp 97.3, like Duncan's was at the Monrovia airport?

Blame the Regime, not the nurses!

“Vinson’s mother, Debra Berry, is an assistant to the president of Kent State University”

Can pray we don’t hear “four dead in Ohio” again.

Vinson was engaged earlier this year, and her fiancé asked Debra Berry for help picking out the engagement ring, Mosley-Samples said.

Berry and her husband Kelvin both work for Kent State University, according to the school’s website. Kelvin Berry didn’t respond to phone calls and e-mails seeking comment.

“....now the passengers on the flight from Dallas to Cleveland will be “included in the investigation.”

.
And all those that she contacted during her stay in Cleveland.

I doubt that she is very popular today with her friends and family members.
