#2 The CDC is decontaminating the second nurse's home. She is in the hospital. I thought the virus only lasted 72 hours outside a host? The home is empty, let it sit and the virus will die. Or is the 72 hour life cycle not true?

#3 Don't worry! We have top men on the job. Top men! If any of these people come down with Ebola, we will track down their contacts and see if any of them get sick. Then we will track down *their* contacts and see if any of them get sick. Wash, rinse, repeat.

#4 The health workers who treated Dallas’ first Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan should not have been allowed to move around, Dallas county health director Zachary Thompson said Wednesday.

Thompson said that decision isn’t up to him — the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are handling the monitoring of those workers. He said he hasn’t heard any discussion about quarantine. But if it was up to the county health department, the patients “wouldn’t have been able to move around,” Thompson said.

If the state &/or county authorities are not able to order quarantines, then their laws need to be changed a couple of years ago.

#5 Sooooooooo the new protocol is that potential high-risk ebola cases here in the US are no longer allowed freedom of movement, yet all of West Africa gets a pass. Noted.

#6 CBS News is reporting she contacted CDC, told them she had a 99.5 degree temp and they OK'd her flight back...but did not order the plane decontaminated or seats around her cleared or...anything. CDC head Tom Freiden needs to GO

#8 When you first reaction to a potential existential national crisis is to go mugging in front of cameras on national TV, maybe you should try some other line of work.
