'Self-monitoring' snafus: Is THIS the most enraging aspect of latest Ebola case? (Boy, it's up there)

TX health official: 2nd case was NOT part of the original 48 we were monitoring – working on new pool of those we'll be monitoring

TX health official: H/C workers caring for Duncan were classified as "minimal risk" – so they were doing self-monitoring

.@CDCgov director Tom Frieden: Patient was self-monitoring for fever. "Level of virus she had was low" upon initial testing.

Contacts with 1st #Ebola patient will be more aggressively monitored now. Many of them had been "self-monitored." http://t.co/JMV0AgsaOa

Infected healthcare worker was "self monitoring." No word on who this person had been in contact with.

Holy crap! This dallad healthcare worker with ebola was working until two days ago. Was only "self monitoring." We are so doomed.

It looks like the self-monitoring worked in this case. But 90 minutes from temp spike to isolation is still 90 minutes.

Dr. Varga: this health care worker had been under the self-monitoring regimen from the CDC. (Temps taken 2x daily.)

The CDC wasn’t directly monitoring those exposed or suspected to be exposed BECAUSE DALLAS COUNTY OFFICIALS WERE. Holy crap, people.

Thank God this nurse was self monitoring, because neither the CDC or the hospital thought it important enough to monitor. #ebola
