Wow. Texas is so done with this.

Sources: Nurse with Ebola to be moved from Dallas hospital to Maryland facility

This is Nina Pham, the first nurse to come down with Ebola from treating Duncan in Texas, the one who is doing better after a plasma transfusion from that doctor who recovered.

Catch this.

Vinson never should have been cleared to board, she insisted.

Infectious disease expert Dr. Celine Gounder agreed. 

It's "ridiculous" to determine whether someone should fly based on a specific temperature, she said on CNN.

If people are exposed to Ebola, particularly if they've treated an Ebola patient, then they should not be allowed to fly, Gounder said.

Vinson "should have been in quarantine," the doctor said.

Really?

So, in her view, if you treat an Ebola patient you need to be in quarantine?

Is that the full 21 day mandatory deal, sort of like house arrest in your apartment or house, with daily monitoring to see if you become symptomatic?

Have all of the care-givers at all of the hospitals who have dealt with any Ebola patient in the US so far gone into a 21 day quarantine?

I don't think so.
