America's CDC Officials Confirm They Gave Second Dallas Ebola Nurse Permission To Fly — Even After She Called To Report Fever


Questions would be asked and answers expected. One of those questions would be; if America's CDC is competent enough to handle the Ebola epidemic?  We have heard and seen images of bungling cases and we hope the almighty America will be able to contain this Virus.
Officials with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have reportedly confirmed that they gave Ebola patient Amber Vinson permission to fly on a commercial plane Monday, even though she had a low-grade fever, according to several reports.
Vinson, 29, is the second medical worker to contract Ebola after having close contact with deceased Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas.
The CDC apparently gave Vinson the OK to fly because she was showing no other signs of Ebola other than a low-grade fever.
A health official admitted that someone “dropped the ball.” More from CBS NewsThe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that Vinson called the agency several times before flying, saying that she had a fever with a temperature of 99.5 degrees. But because her fever wasn't 100.4 degrees or higher, she didn't officially fall into the group of “high risk” and was allowed to fly.
