Nurse who had Ebola asks bridal store for refunds

[Ms. Toad]

71. She developed a fever before the flight home.

But not before the bridal shop visit.

My personal opinion is that, as a nurse, she should have had enough sense to isolate herself when she started feeling ill - which was before the bridal shop, and possibly before the first flight.

I'm a lay person, reasonably well versed in infectious disease. You can search on DU and you will find that my statements about what should have happened match almost 100% with what the CDC has now adopted once it had a real Ebola case in front of it. My statements covered the gamut of protective clothing, manner of use of protective clothing, restriction of people caring for Ebola patients, and the point at which someone exposed should be isolated, and so on. There is no excuse, in my mind, for someone with medical training to be incapable of reaching the same conclusion.

Siccing her lawyer on them to retrieve a few hundred bucks is beyond the pale, in my book.
