This is what's going to slow down the high-flying airline stocks.

It is now being reported that the Ebola patient who flew on Frontier was, in fact, symptomatic with a low grade fever. I don't consider the reporting an overreaction. Seems like a lot of mistakes were made at that Dallas hospital.

I'm now inclined to agree with you. If she was showing symptoms and she traveled, that's just put a lot of people at risk. How much risk? Hard to say, but it's a risk nevertheless.

The CDC is a clear and present danger.
The clown running it needs to resign immediately.

I'm not arguing with you. However the blame is not with the folks in Dallas but with the CDC. They did not alert healthcare professionals nor did they send out the protocols on how to deal with Ebola. The nurses in Dallas were calling the CDC fighting for information. Worse, nobody had the level four suits required to treat victims of Ebola. Our government has failed us. Hopefully they can save the nurses who will end up infected with Ebola and prevent further infections.

I agree. I never believed the CDC director when he said any hospital in our country could handle Ebola. This isn't unique to the Dallas hospital. I hope the medical professionals sort this out. More loss of life will occur never mind the effect on our industry. Look at the stock market performance the last few days.

Didn't we use to have a Surgeon General in this country? Where has that clown been?
