And consider this. They said Nina's virus loads were low.
They said no such things about Amber.
I am pretty positive her viral loads were already high when she went to be tested.

2nd nurse's Ebola case may have been worse than thought [View all] TexasTowelie Oct 2014 OP

I wouldn't be surprised if we find out that she had vomiting and diarrhea kestrel91316 Oct 2014 #1

Please procede Warren! rufus dog Oct 2014 #5

Do you mean "proceed"? Warren DeMontague Oct 2014 #6

Got me! rufus dog Oct 2014 #10

Gee, you seem awfully tense. Warren DeMontague Oct 2014 #13

Warren, the CDC never said she was symptomatic KMOD Oct 2014 #17

Airline: CDC Warned 'Possibility' Ebola Nurse Had Symptoms on Plane Warren DeMontague Oct 2014 #24

Warren, those warning are "may" KMOD Oct 2014 #27

And like I said, I think it's incredibly unlikely anyone on those planes will catch it. Warren DeMontague Oct 2014 #32

A low level of unnecessary risk for some horrific outcome, is still too high. KMOD Oct 2014 #36

SHE WASN'T IN ISOLATION - NONE OF THEM WERE. Yo_Mama Oct 2014 #53

No. They gave specific symptoms. Ms. Toad Oct 2014 #59

They said she "felt funny" KMOD Oct 2014 #67

In addition to specific symptoms, they ALSO said she felt funny. Ms. Toad Oct 2014 #68

Fair enough, but KMOD Oct 2014 #72

What the CDC has said Ms. Toad Oct 2014 #58

Warren is right Aerows Oct 2014 #9

Fucking Strawman rufus dog Oct 2014 #12

Do what you want to do Aerows Oct 2014 #20

Yes, you are right Aerows KMOD Oct 2014 #21

My body temperature fluctuates Aerows Oct 2014 #23

You are right, again Aerows KMOD Oct 2014 #25

I do Aerows Oct 2014 #29

:) n/t KMOD Oct 2014 #31

I don't understand where this is coming from KMOD Oct 2014 #7

Im not bashing the nurse. She consulted the CDC, the CDC fucked up. Warren DeMontague Oct 2014 #8

I have no idea what the CDC thinks they're doing KMOD Oct 2014 #11

She said she "felt funny" and she was running a fever of 99.5. davidn3600 Oct 2014 #18

Yes, I'm aware of that KMOD Oct 2014 #22

Humans don't all run 98.6 Aerows Oct 2014 #26

Yes, but fever isn't contagious with Ebola Aerows KMOD Oct 2014 #28

I understand that Aerows Oct 2014 #30

Fever is a symptom... FarPoint Oct 2014 #46

And 99.5 is assuming she hadn't taken a fever reducer B2G Oct 2014 #66

Kestrel has been quite hypocritical regarding the nurses Fumesucker Oct 2014 #14

Not sure where the confusion is Aerows Oct 2014 #35

I'm not confused about it Fumesucker Oct 2014 #37

Can't speak on that Aerows Oct 2014 #39

Hey, Fumesucker Aerows Oct 2014 #38

I get the impression Kestrel has some kind of problem with nurses Fumesucker Oct 2014 #40

I am under the same impression. City Lights Oct 2014 #49

Thank you for the links. uppityperson Oct 2014 #70

Folks are getting stigmatized Aerows Oct 2014 #15

OK rufus dog Oct 2014 #19

She wasn't. morningfog Oct 2014 #43

You just can't help yourself. City Lights Oct 2014 #47

I agree, sort of, here is a graphic of the symptom timeline using W.H.O info from BBC... HereSince1628 Oct 2014 #50

That comment is reprehensible, imo. You should give serious consideration KingCharlemagne Oct 2014 #60

I would be. Because she's a nurse, and she would not willingly have exposed her family Yo_Mama Oct 2014 #61

How many cases are being tracked in the United States? 2? Major Hogwash Oct 2014 #41

Only 2 thus far. In_The_Wind Oct 2014 #42

Oh, that explains why 75 threads were started this week in the GD forum about ebola. Major Hogwash Oct 2014 #44

What else is new? In_The_Wind Oct 2014 #45

Yes, because no one can possibly think about two things at once. Sheldon Cooper Oct 2014 #51

The actual "cases" are not being "tracked". They are in Biocontainment Patient Care Units at kestrel91316 Oct 2014 #54

I would think test the woman, confirm negative, everyone goes on their way Yo_Mama Oct 2014 #56

I suspect that's what they will do. Her 21 days is up this weekend. kestrel91316 Oct 2014 #62

Yeah, but her potential risk is so very, very low Yo_Mama Oct 2014 #63

It would be a mess for the record books, that's for sure. kestrel91316 Oct 2014 #65

Can they tell by the viral load at the time of the test? B2G Oct 2014 #55

There's a definite implication based on results Yo_Mama Oct 2014 #57

I agree with you. LisaL Oct 2014 #69

They didn't seem to wait for the second test to announce it, Yo_Mama Oct 2014 #71

I think it's obvious Amber was symptomatic for days before she got on the plane to go back to Dallas LisaL Oct 2014 #73
