ebola flight

[McDad]

Flying into Nashville from dallas. Passenger gets sick. Cdc has quarantined our plane. We're sitting in the tarmac waiting on.medical personnel to board. Been awake 20 hours. I feel like I'm about open the emergency exit and inflate the slide.

I am. And I'm more frustrated than anything. Captain just announced the cdc is satisfied the pt has a normal temp. So paramedics will remove him and put him in ambulance. Meanwhile, everyone has waited 2hours 20 minutes. And pt zero plus the rest of us are still.sitting in the tarmac.

So... He was sick, and that automatically means he has Ebola?

He came from Dallas so extra precaution and such

No, but they're taking every precaution possible to prevent the spread of the disease. This is the correct move and OP shouldn't complain...

 

[Cyclopskiller]

10-4.... Just read where the CDC said it may be an airborne viris.

 

[vol_in_ar]

if it goes Airborne, it's going to lead to choas

 

[utvolpj]

No, but they're taking every precaution possible to prevent the spread of the disease

Patently false

Hey, McDad.....got any kind of an update yet?

Got home at 430 am. Almost 24 hours being awake. And that's a whole different story at the age of 43 than at 23.
After waiting on the tarmac in the corner of the airport for 3 hours, it was determined that the person's temperature was normal. But here's the hysterical part, the medical personnel didn't come on the plane to ascertain that little nugget. There was a young MD on the flight. Maybe she relayed the vitals??? Idk. They took him off and placed him in an ambulance even though he no longer had any signs and symptoms of illness. We taxied back to terminal and deplaned.
I sent pics and updates to a local news station while trapped on board. There was a news crew filming interviews with passengers at baggage claim area.
It was a cluster. In flight, Captain said parameds would meet us at gate. At gate, cdc took jurisdiction and told us to go to corner of airport. At corner, we waited for the team in their hazmat suits to board and check the dude out. After they decided to not board, THEN the ambulance was called.
I'll tell you this, if your on a flight to Nashville with an infectious passenger you will be trapped on that plane with recirculating air for extra hours while the experts create a cluster of bumbling delays and you have more exposure to the infection.

First laugh I've had today. Thanks, salute.

Thanks & I'm glad you're safe. Sounds like a sh!t hole you were in for 3 hours w/no fresh air. I bet you wished now that you had driven a car to get home.

He came from Dallas so extra precaution and such

So everyone from Dallas is suspect?:mega_shok:

Sorry for your trouble. I would have hit the exit ramp early on and got shot for my trouble.
