A report out of Washington state reveals that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has not ordered the state’s largest international airport to implement additional screening measures to detect possible Ebola cases.
Despite the CDC finally ordering airport employees across the country to begin monitoring passengers, the SeaTac International Airport, which even has its own designated CDC office, has not been ordered to follow new protocols.
Other precautions, such as questionnaire forms designed to pinpoint possible patients, have not been issued to airport staff either.
While the CDC has thus far failed to comment, a spokesman for the airport speaking with KIRO 7 News attempted to quell concern by stating that no direct flights from Africa travel to SeaTac. Regardless, countless connecting flights from Ebola-stricken nations reach the Seattle area on a daily basis.
The decision to not institute such precautions joins the growing list of unconscionable moves from health officials who have continued to downplay the threat posed from Ebola.
Even as Professor Peter Piot, one of the scientists who discovered Ebola, warns that the virus could mutate and cause an “apocalyptic scenario,” CDC Chief Tom Frieden continues to claim that stopping incoming flights would make the situation worse.
