Samaratan’s Purse (Charity Organization in Liberia) has decided to fly Kent Bartley and Nancy Whitebol (infected health workers) from Liberia to Emory Univerity in Atlanta. Emory has a CDC-designated Unit to take care of Ebola. They are on their way. Public blogs quite concerned about danger of this transporting to USA> I think that it sis dangerous for the patient’s health for them to fly. I am assuring public anyway that it is safe, even though for the patient’s sake, I would not have transferred of Building 31); CNN New Day with Sanjay Gupta; MSNBC with Chick Todd; WTOP Radio; NPR “Here and Now”; BBC radio; MSNBC; Hearst TV. Tonight I do MSNBC again at 8:15 PM from Nebraska Avenue and BBC Radio at 10:15 PM. Much discussion from the media about the role of “NIH scientists” in getting the ZMapp to Brantley. They are referring to Lisa Hensley. We needed to clear up her role in that CDC (Kevin DeCock) asked her to point Samaritan’s Purse in the direction of the people who had the antibody. There was some feeling that there was some “government conspiracy”. I will discipline Lisa when she returns from Liberia because she got out of her lane by getting involved in the procurement of the antibody. I am exhausted from media.
