According to CBS Dallas, officials at both the ambulance company that transported Vinson to Dallas Love Field Airport for the flight, and Emory University Hospital said the man was not one of their staff. That, according to the report, makes it likely that the mystery man, who boarded the plane after all the others and reemerged on the tarmac in Atlanta, was the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) officer overseeing the transfer. 4951

Some people get their jollies by jumping out of airplanes, rock climbing, or cage fighting.CDC docs get their kicks by exposing themselves to fatal diseases.  Damn thrill seekers. 4951

I am going to say a few things, about  this,,,1. they have known about Ebola for some time,, but the Oil companies rule,, and they still traveled to those countries for years2. Houston gets a round trip flight from Nigeria almost everyday,,, nobody says a word about it,, why its mostly oil people3. Just because the person is not sick today, they can incubate the disease and it will show up 10 days later, by this time the person in is the US. It only takes aobut 10 hours to fly from Nigeria to Houston.4. People have been traveling to the US for years, from those countries,,, and everybody knew about the disease,, nothing was done5. colleges are banning students from traveling to and from those areas,,, hmmm they are already here.6. The news is making a bigger panic than it is. Right now its under control in the US for now. Remember the swine flu a few years ago. Before we know it the news will be directed in another direction. 4951

@Burnsway:

@Wooderson:
 
5 strains in 7 years, once I was admitted with 2 strains at once. I have something called reoccurring meningitis. Remember meningitis is not a disease, it's inflammation of the spine.
 
Most people get viral meningitis all the time but don't get that sick and don't even know it. I on the other hand have it contained in my body all the time and certain viruses like flue, strep, pneumonia.....etc will flare it up. I'm not contagious when I have the meningitis as its contained inside me....only the virus that caused it is spreadable....like if I get the flu....that you can catch but it reacts with my spine causing the meningitis which is contained inside my spine and not contagious.  They don't know what causes mine as they can't find the answer.....usually people who have it have lupus, Epstein bar, aids, herpes, tuberculosis, limes.....or other immune disorders but they have tested me a dozen times over and I have none of those.
 
They only will diagnose you with reoccurring meningitis when you have more than 3 flare ups in 5 years. Other than being diet controlled diabetic I'm pretty darn healthy and active.....just have to be extra careful around certain viruses and extra nasty things like rat poop or dog poop....etc fecal matter is a big carrier of asceptic germs which is extra hard on me.The main reason I have to go in isolation is because a spinal tap culture will only show a positive but not if it's viral or bacterial (bacterial is the killer)until the cultures grow 3 to 5 days. So it's just safety protocol but also protects me as when you have meningitis they don't want you getting anything else while your admitted. I started probiotics, massive vitamin c doses and exercise after my last flare up and have gone the longest ever without seeing a doc....I truly believe the refrigerated probiotics are doing the trick! I also do not do flu shots, 3 of my hospital stays were within a week of the vaccine. Once may be a coincidence, twice would be weird, 3 times it's a no brainer.....lol 4951

Davis said the man, who he did not name, is the team's medical safety coordinator. Standard protocol is for him to wear street clothes, Davis said, because the suits can block field of vision and hearing. Davis said the man has been trained on keeping safe distance from patients and is ready to "suit up" if needed. 4951

@FoFa: Might go down as one of the worst jobs ever.  I bet even Mike Rowe wouldn't do that job.
