Did Newsmaker Luncheon talk at the National Press Club on Ebola.
Got much play in the printed press. Things still calm regarding Ebola with attention
switching from the threat in the USA to background issues like the $6.18 billion request
from the POTUS (see above Senate Hearing). Also, some increasing noise from
Congressman Tim Murphy (R-PA) regarding his pushing for the leaders of the 3 Ebola
hospitals (NIH, Emory, Nebraska) to quarantine for 21 days their staff that took care of
Ebola patients and not allow them to see other patient for 21 days. We are all adamantly
against this and I have been the vocal one saying that we must stick with the science and
the CDC recommendation of stratification of risks to HCWs balanced by the stratification
of monitoring and restrictions. Murphy is not happy with me.
Had dinner with Danny Hultzen and his father Chris. Discussed the situation with his
shoulder injury. He feels good and looks great. I have a strong feeling that if his
shoulder holds out, he will make it to the MLB with the Seattle Mariners.
