Ebola, news and discussion

Just on the Dallas Breaking News( interruption of tv's ABC World news),

Ebola Patient Nina Pham, the 1st nurse infected, is going to Maryland Hospital for treatment. She will land in Bethesda Maryland from Dallas Love Field, and is in the ambulance on the way to the airport.

On other news, a Presbytarian Hospital Nurse being monitored for symptoms, in Dallas, where Duncan was treated is making claims in public as a nurse whistleblower to ABC World News, that there was chaos among the healthcare staff at the hospital and no training for Ebola safety and that the PPE provided by the hospital, left the nursing staff's necks exposed.
ABC World News has also reported that the 2nd nurse( Vinson) had symptoms of illness the day she first flew from Dallas to Cleveland, Ohio, so the CDC is trying to track down all the people she came into contact with during that first flight on Frontier Airlines and other people she came into contact with like the wedding planners and stores she may have gone to while in Cleveland, OH.

There is an abundance of cautionary steps being taken to try to stop the chain of events that could happen from exposure to the public, so it may seem that we are not getting all the information from the news in a timely manner. There is so much going on that they are scrambling to do and learning to do that we as a public feel like they aren't telling us everything.
I think they are telling us as much as they can as soon as they find out what is going on, for how long, who's sick, what training is happening to prepare for this better, etc.
This is certainly a learning process for our healthcare system from the mistakes made by the Hospital in Dallas, and from the CDC in the US. I just hope they can correct and learn from the mistakes made so that no more mistakes are made in the future. I hope they are ACTING on those mistakes to correct everything.

There is a lack of confidence in the system right now from the public and a lot of fear.
