Without having to click into link, 2nd Dallas patient with Ebola is a nurse (not saying name even though it's all over media) who flew on Frontier 1143 from Cleveland to Dallas, on Monday 10/13/14 and the following morning came down with a fever which was confirmed today as Ebola.
CDC reaching out to these passengers and word Frontier may have also been contacting them regarding this situation.

She must have taken advantage of those super low fares but why was she even allowed to fly, there needs to be some kind of protocol, like if you treat an ebola patient you cannot leave or have contact with people for a certain amount of days. If she was visiting friends or family do you think they really want her to visit since they probably knew she was treating this guy?

The poor nurse from there who has contracted the virus issued a statement praising her colleagues as "the finest in the world." She must not get around much. The apparent lapses and failures in Dallas are as scary as Ebola itself.

What we are doing is ignoring protocols which aready exist. CDC protocols include no travel by common carrier for 21 days after treating an Ebola patient. This nurse violated that protocol. Now whether she violated the protocol because she wasn't informed of it, didn't understand it, or just felt it didn't apply to her, we don't know.
