Ebola: fermetures d'écoles au Texas et en Ohio

La seconde infirmière infectée au Texas s'est déplacée en avion entre Cleveland et Dallas avant de constater qu'elle avait des symptômes de l'Ebola. On tente actuellement de localiser 132 personnes inscrites sur le même vol. Pourquoi l'infirmière a-t-elle été autorisée à prendre l'avion? Ils sont plusieurs à s'interroger et à croire qu'il s'agit d'une nouvelle bourde dans la gestion de ce dossier.

 "CDC Director Tom Frieden said she did not have nausea or vomit on the plane, so the risk to anyone around her is “extremely low.”

Still, many are now concerned about exposure. A flight crew is on paid leave. Several schools in Ohio and Texas have shut down. Students who were on the flight have been asked to stay home. At least one person has put himself in isolation.

Ever since Duncan set foot on American soil on Sept. 20, medical personnel seemed to take one misstep after the other. And the latest may have been the decision to let Vinson fly. Officials said she was running a fever of 99.5 degrees — below the 100.4-degree mark outlined in CDC screening guidelines. Still, Frieden said Wednesday that Vinson should not have been permitted to go anywhere given her risk of exposure.
