Why was someone exposed to Ebola allowed to travel to Ohio?

We’ve all seen the movies.  We know how this ends.

I know you think I am panicking for no reason.  But – I am trying to raise awareness because saying something too late is… too late.

Think it through.  The case of this 2nd nurse is not to be taken lightly.  

Why was someone who was being "monitored" for Ebola allowed to travel to and from Ohio - by plane or any other method?  Shouldn't people who are being monitored for exposure be monitored in their homes? 

Which raises another question - are the staff who are being "monitored" still working their shifts?  Couldn't they come down with a fever while working?  Or was she traveling because she is on leave?  Have people no brains to know that life has changed and if they are being monitored, they should avoid other people?

She had a low grade fever prior to taking the plane home to Dallas.  That means she had a low grade fever in Cleveland.  Where was she sleeping?  With a relative or friend - or a hotel?  Where was she eating? Who did she sit next to in Cleveland as she went through her day prior to boarding the plane?  They announced that they have contacted her fellow plane passengers - but they haven't said a word about who she came into contact with prior to boarding.

First they said it had to be a person with a fever for there to be concern.  Now, apparently it is only a fever of concern if it is over 100 degrees?

This leaves open a myriad of possibilities – and THIS is how Ebola has been spreading.  People apparently refuse to take into account the myriad possibilities. 

When will we hear about the first Cleveland Ebola case - and how many people will they have been in contact with prior to our hearing it?   Is there a restaurant dishwasher who might have had contact with her fork from breakfast?

It has been two days since her Ebola was diagnosed.  How are they going about finding people whom she might have exposed?   I am sorry – but it appears the cat is already out of the bag. 

They quarantined the family he lived with, but apparently put no restrictions on the other 90 some people they were “monitoring.”

Could our government be any more inept than they have already shown themselves to be?  

I do think it is already time for people to be staying home more.  I want my family to be safe.  

WHY was that woman allowed to travel??
