"You're doing a huckuva job, Freedie"
Tom "Nothing to worry about" Frieden, the head of the CDC, says that a nurse who showed positive for Ebola after treating Thomas Eric Duncan at a Dallas hospital was involved in a "breach of protocol".
The breach of protocol is allowing travelers to continue coming here from West Africa.
That is the breach of protocol.

I just read that there have been 60,000 of late, one of whom test positive for Ebola. Perhaps we can be a little more flexible than Gary suggests without undue harm.
That claim of "protocol violation" however is lame. He says there must have been one, otherwise the nurse wouldn't be ill. But none has been established. There is significant risk to taking off protective gear, because you can pick up the virus if you touch the outside of the gear.
I guess what bothers me a little bit is that as far as I am able to determine, the first documented case of Ebola in the U.S. resulted in the transmission of the disease to the first health care worker in the U.S. That would appear to defy all odds. Maybe it is just coincidence and nothing else.
Nothing to worry about, Elwood. Tom Frieden said so.
