1. Flew on Monday, symptomatic on Tuesday

That's cutting it a bit close.

132 passengers told to contact the CDC.

2. It's hard not to feel just a little bit of unease

now that we're seeing how easily this can get out of hand. Now there's 133 passengers to be contacted and monitored and possibly quarantined AND all the people that they came in contact with.

I've been mum about this subject so far because I wanted to wait and see how things developed. This does not bode well at all.

3. she flew on 10/10 as well

know that the new Ebola victim had traveled previously from Dallas Fort Worth to Cleveland on Frontier flight 1142 on October 10.

5. Was this person one of the ones being monitored for symptoms?

If so, it doesn't make sense to me that she would be flying from Dallas to Cleveland and then back to Dallas.

6. Yikes. However, unless she sloppily used the toilet, didn't wash her hands

(unlikely, most health care workers/nurses are paranoid about public germs), coughed/sneezed on her seatmates, it's unlikely that she would have infected anybody. Still, this is unfolding badly.

7. Was she possibly contagious when she flew to Cleveland ?

This is not good.

8. Why?

Why would someone involved in the care of the first victim get on a plane and fly across the country??

9. Apparently, lack of common sense.
