@drterrysimpson: Possible Ebola virus on a plane headed to the US this week - United Airlines Flight UA979 from Edinburgh to Washington Dulles sparked an Ebola health scare after the flight crew reported a potential case to air traffic control. The transatlantic flight considered diverting to New York or Maine, but ultimately proceeded to its planned destination at Washington Dulles International Airport, which is one of the federally designated hubs equipped for enhanced Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) medical screenings.

Doctor Sizzle :

just_callme_jan :

If the protocol is working, how did a family of five get on the plane to start with?

Derpy Chicken :

You look tired Doc

Nursing_Solidarity :

When I worked in management, it was clear we were so unprepared for ebola in the hospital the last time we experienced an outbreak. Especially in L&D.

🌀Akasha🪶Indigenous🕷Queen🫍 :

Lockdown Doc?

Stacy💙Charlie :

I seen a tik tok video of an mortician in Ohio saying that he was afraid about a call he received from the hospital there asking if they would take and Ebola patient who passed he told them no why isn’t anyone saying anything about it

Dove🕊 :

But why can't they get tested BEFORE the family gets on the plane?

emilycapricorn18 :

What about the funeral homes getting calls asking if they will take bodies that have passed from Ebola?

Lemons866 :

Doesn’t mean they don’t have it, could be testing negative if it’s during incubation or early in infection. Either way, word cup traffic is bound to transmit it to various places and maybe even US. Thankfully due to our practices here, even if we have some infected come in, it won’t gain a real foothold and will be self limiting

koi_lady :

Doesn’t this strain have a high rate of false negatives ?

❌ GM-aRT :

Finally something in this country is done right!!

Wook :

They’re negative “ for now “….

GracefullyGrown2 :

But if it wasn’t and people on that plane are infected are they considered ‘casualties?’

SSK9s :

Well couldn't they have been carrying it if it has a 21 day incubation?

Katie Dodson-Terwilliger :

PCR test would be false positive if non symptomatic. From point of contact to positive est 3-10 days. If the family had just left, chance they could pop positive after entering the US. We need more stringent protocol…..
