Ebola Outbreak of 2014

Is that the same CDC that has recently gotten all butter fingers with Anthrax and H1N1? That CDC? What could possibly go wrong?O_o

They may have had a bad couple of months, but the people from the CDC are shit hot at their jobs.

You got the "Shit" part right, at least. May I present to you, in a necro-posting orgy of awesome, the latest screw up by the CDC:

One scientist may have been exposed to the Ebola virus and as many as a dozen others are being assessed for potential exposure at a lab of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, agency officials said Wednesday.

The potential exposure took place Monday when scientists conducting research on the virus at a high-security lab mistakenly put a sample containing the potentially infectious virus in a place where it was transferred for processing to another CDC lab, also in Atlanta on the CDC campus.

The good news is that nobody has presented symptoms as yet. I well and truly hope that the exposure is as minimal as the WaPo article claims, and that nobody actually comes down with it. That being said, I think some folks at the CDC might want to hold a few refresher courses on simple things like ATTENTION TO DETAIL, or maybe put everyone on the same ADD meds. How many more high profile mistakes are they going to make before someone takes this kind of inattention seriously?

The CDC needs to join SS; we'll teach them about attention to detail and situational awareness. :thumbsup:
