*THE STORY*

The second US health worker who has Ebola flew commercially a day before she started showing symptoms.

*WHAT…*

The nurse had treated Thomas Eric Duncan, the patient in Dallas who died from the virus. She was monitoring herself for symptoms and had flown to Cleveland, and then took a flight back to Texas on Monday. Before that last flight, she reportedly had told the CDC that she had a low-grade fever. The CDC says she should not have been on that plane. Now, the CDC would like to "find the 132 people":http://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2014/s1015-airline-notification.html?utm_source=Daily+Skimm&utm_campaign=2804a598ba-daily_skimm&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_74efee6205-2804a598ba-25889881 that flew on this flight with her. In other fantastic Ebola news, there are "reports that indicate health workers treating Duncan didn’t wear protective Hazmat gear":http://thescoopblog.dallasnews.com/2014/10/presbyterian-workers-wore-no-protective-gear-for-two-days-while-treating-ebola-patient.html/?utm_source=Daily+Skimm&utm_campaign=2804a598ba-daily_skimm&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_74efee6205-2804a598ba-25889881 days before he was diagnosed, but while he was symptomatic.
