Some of the questions I have...I know Amber Vinson is a licensed nurse in Ohio and Texas, but what was she doing back in Ohio? Does she have a home here or friends/family that she was visiting? Where was she in Cleveland when she was here/how long was she here for? 2) I'm confused with the whole she was on a flight from Cleveland to Dallas, are we supposed to assume that she also was on a flight from Dallas to Cleveland after making contact with Thomas Duncan as well? How did she get back to Cleveland in the first place? Was there any layover time for her flights at other airports?
She has family that works at Kent State
The funny thing about this to me is....
She was told she was a low to no risk person by the people in authority for this..She didn't start feeling feverish until after she arrived on Tuesday (yesterday) and then immediately went to seek medical care
Even if she didn't get on a plan to visit her family after an extraordinary situation that was probably beyond stressful she would have continued her daily routine in Texas. Meaning she would have been going to the store, fast food places, maybe a gym, ect...
People would still blame her, call her stupid or naive...Even though she was told she was at the low end of the risk spectrum...Even if she had stayed home people would be calling the hospital stupid for letting her leave...
The power of hindsight is fun
On a side note:
Some places are reporting she had a body temperature of 99 degrees before she got on the flight. Considering the average body temp is 98.6 and this person is from Texas its not an indicator at that point. Which is little funny to me because who took her temperature before she got on the plane? (doesn't make sense unless she underwent screening before boarding)
When it comes to quarantines I'm not sure how effective those are going to be. People, regardless of the situation do not like to be caged. It's been proven through out history over and over again. IMO I don't think quarantines are going to work due to the incubation period of the virus unless each person is isolated on an individual basis, which isn't really possible.
