Patient Three.

Amber Vinson took a round-trip flight to Cleveland, Ohio and arrived back in Dallas at 8:16 pm on October 13. The morning of October 14 she checked into the hospital and tested positive for Ebola.

"The fight against Ebola in Dallas is a two-front fight now.”
                              -Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins.

CDC, query: That's true, isn't it? Are you going to sanitize that plane? Are you going to track down all passengers? If so, why so? If Ebola is not an airborne virus, why would you do that? Why is this a two-front fight now unless someone, quoting from your website, had,

direct contact [with Amber Vinson] (through broken skin or mucous membranes in, for example, the eyes, nose, or mouth) with:

-blood or body fluids (including but not limited to urine, saliva, sweat, feces, vomit, breast milk, and semen) of a person who is sick with Ebola.

-objects (like needles and syringes) that have been contaminated with the virus

-infected animals

CDC, query: Do you think it would be prudent to prohibit travel for all hospital guys who cared for Mr. Duncan until their observation period passes?
