| Ebola or Hysteria Paranoia? Yikes, an hr away from where we are...not confirmed ebola, hope not. Video, click on link to watch. UPDATED: Ebola Scare at San Diego College Prompts Lockdown - Around Town | Temecula, California Patch San Diego County health officials are en route to Southwestern College in Chula Vista, where officials say a “student whose family member reported flu-like symptoms and was hospitalized.” A section of the campus has been cordoned off. The school’s newspaper, The Sun, reports that the student may have come into contact with someone who was on the same flight as a nurse who traveled by air the day before she was hospitalized for Ebola. “This student told their teacher that they had a fever and that they were exposed to the Ebola virus because they were on that same plane,” she said.NBC San Diego reports that at least one building has been shut down, and posted the below video from the scene. Southwestern College posted this message on Facebook Thursday morning: A precaution has been taken regarding a student whose family member reported flu-like symptoms and was hospitalized. The Campus Police have cordoned off the 470 area. The County Department of Health has been called and is in transit to assess the situation.

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | I think as always the truth is rarely at either end of the spectrum. How-ever I do hope that Nurse loses her job. She knew she was exposed and went on a bloody plane? Shame on her as a health care professional. She did know better and went anyway. And while I am sorry she did contract Ebola she had no right in hell of exposing other folks. Even in Canada the Health Minister is coming out with new guidelines / regs covering Ebola. Something has these folks pretty scared IMO. The problem is it could get away from us so very fast. Flu like symptoms, running a fever etc etc are so very common and folks go to work sick.

| I just feel its not being handled right and at the expense of exsposing alot of people to this. There should be a travel ban. Its time the public safety is the number one concern. I know this wouldnt have mattered with the nurse who exposed so many people and I think something needs to be done so that doesnt happen again. I wonder how many nurses and doctors are going to continue to care for ebola patients when nurses are getting it even though they have full protective gear. Im concerned about air travel and the situation our country is in right now with this ebola. I hope it doesnt become an epidemic here but with no travel ban in place I can see how it could happen. I think the CDC director should resign but its probably gonna have to take a few more people to die before he does

| There is no problem at the college. I live in San diego and the student didn't even know if her sister was on THE flight with the nurse. People panicked. I heard the the second nurse called the CDC twice about flying and she was told it was ok since her temp was not 100.4. This is the CDC's fault. I think the CDC doesn't know what the heck they are doing. I feel sorry for the ERs and the staff everywhere as they really don't know what to do to protect themselves and other patients.

YT 2000 Club Member | dog Nurses should make responsible decisions regardless of what they are told. That nurse should not have gotten on an airplane knowing she had fever. This ebola outbreak is another sign of the times. People better get on their knees and pray because this could get way out of control and people go crazy reacting. Sin is running rampant in this country so I am not surprised another serious problem is occurring. I just hope and pray the right people in charge will do their job and train nurses and staff to deal with this properly. My daughter is a hospital nurse in san diego and you better believe I will fight this battle with some powerful prayers! We never lose heart no matter how bad the scene gets! |

| Local TV just told us that the college scare was a hoax. SHAME on the girl. Waste of time and money.

| I live in Ohio and I have to say I'm not very happy with the nurse who decided it was okay to get on a plane and fly to this state (or anywhere) knowing she had a fever or the CDC who told her it was okay to do so! What is wrong with these people?!

| I don't think the CDC is telling us everything we need to know. It is scary anyway you look at it. I think there does need to be bans implemented. The nurse should not have got on the plane regardless of what the CDC said. She knew she had been exposed. Period. No excuses, she knew better IMO. I hope the US wakes up and realizes what is really at stake here. It is no longer oh well it is in Africa. It is HERE. You won't get me on a plane right now. My mom works at Walmart and said people are starting to wear face masks in the store. Can't say that I blame them. May even get me one! I pray this gets contained and we don't lose many people over this.

Transmission | Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever | CDC The CDC isn't doing an adequate job of containing this or educating the public. While the organism is not believed to become airborne, the miniscule spray from a sneeze or cough can contain the organism. The effing CDC stated sneezing isn't a symptom of ebola.... That's messed up since dust, allergies and just the right angle of the sun in the eyes can bring about a sneeze. | |
