Yup, charge a person with murder for infecting other people like that stupid bastard who ended up in Dallas. After a quick trial and they're found guilty deny them care so they die, that'll be their sentence. People still won't care if they infect other people though, 50%+ mortality rate kinda makes some people not care about much of anything.

Isn't that like prosecuting someone for committing suicide?

Yup, the 'bola is a tough little bastard, I'm making the assumption that all procedures including don/doff were followed to the letter. Obola (I wish I had a tiny little gif of the Obama symbol for the first O in Obola) will take any opening presented, just like a liberal with a new gun control law, give them an inch and they'll take all your rights.

We wouldn't be having this problem if the administration would have refused to accept air traffic from any route connected to West Africa, kinda like when the Administration told airlines they couldn't fly to Ben Gurion b/c Hamas might shoot the plane down.

I love the hubris, (those idiots, in spite of their failures in Benghazi, our southern border, and elsewhere), have the audacity to think they can control a persistent and noxious virus for which there is NO cure and has at least a 50% kill rate.

The CDC said Tuesday 76 people at the hospital could have been exposed to Duncan after his second ER visit. Another 48 people are being monitored for possible exposure before he was hospitalized.

Yes, if said infectious disease has a 100% mortality rate... Ebola doesn't. Most infectious diseases don't... So No.

Now reported that the 2nd nurse flew Frontier from Cleveland to DFW on 10/13, went to hospital 10/14.

So much for close monitoring of all staff who treated him.

Dallas news is now reporting the 2nd nurse did have low grade fever while on plane. 99.5deg they say...

EDITED to include source because I don't like hearsay:

CBS News Medical Correspondent Dr. John LaPook reports that Vinson called the CDC several times before boarding the plane concerned about her fever and was told she was OK to board.
