CDC chief on second Ebola case: There was a breach in protocol
CBS News ^ | October 11, 2014 | REBECCA KAPLAN

Posted on 10/12/2014 7:06:41 AM PDT by maggief

The head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said there was "clearly" a breach in protocol that led to a Texas health care worker contracting Ebola after treating a Liberian man who later died from the virus, although authorities do not yet know what that breach was.

"We're deeply concerned about this new development," Dr. Thomas Frieden said in an interview on CBS' "Face the Nation" Sunday. "I think the fact that we don't know of a breach in protocol is concerning because clearly there was a breach in protocol. We have the ability to prevent the spread of Ebola by caring safely for patients."

"The fact is that the individual who became ill was, as per protocol, self monitoring. Immediately when they developed symptoms they isolated themselves, they were promptly isolated at the hospital so that any further spread from that individual was stopped," Frieden added.

Mistakes happen - they just need to happen outside this country.

Even the experts cannot say or tell how it happened.

As my mom used to say, "can'" means "won't".

They know damn well what to do. They're leading the charge to keep us from doing it. Starting with banning flights from the countries of origin.

The only disease they are worried about spreading is the one where people start getting the fool notion that shutting down entry into this country will solve a particular problem.

Can't have that. There's an election coming up.

What sort of fabricated science runs the CDC?

There “was a breach”, but “we dont know what”,
without considering other hypotheses is beyond stupid
but typical of what goes for Obola’s “government”.

There has to be a massive outbreak before
they know what’s in it.

What a load of convoluted crap!

CYA* finger pointing is not helpful, Dr., especially when you cannot even say what protocol was breached.

The really scary part is that if ebola is harder to contain than predicted and “goes viral” (where did that expression originate?), under the “protocols”, healthcare workers will be the first to wiped out.

So....
Ebola can only be transmitted by contact and that is proved by lack of cases with non contact transmission.
When Ebloa is transmitted without any known contact, we must ignore that and presume there was contact. Thus, Ebola cannot be shown to be transmitted without contact.

Are the global warmist scientists moonlighting in biology?

Someone brought up Ebola at my job to co-workers and I heard someone whine “Oh that’s too depressing to talk about” and a snide remark of “Oohh Eboli is going to kill us.”

And these are grown adults...

So what happened to “we know how to deal with this” and the “tried and true” methods of containment?

"I think the fact that we don't know of a breach in protocol is concerning because clearly there was a breach in protocol. We have the ability to prevent the spread of Ebola by caring safely for patients."

OK then! If Dr. Frieden is so confident let him do his next presser in the isolation room of the newly discovered ebola patient.

Can the CDC be sued for giving false assurances? Let’s make this deadly disease worse by making sure everyone who lives faces a lawsuit.

“They” might want you to add voting booths to your list.
