OK in FULL transparency, how about disclosing the flight that brought him to Indpls, as well as the time he spent walking through the airport, getting his car etc.? Where does he live, did he take an UBER to the hospital or did his wife drive? Where does she work? Did his kids go to school this morning? And where do they go to school? Did he visit CVS to get aspirin? All important questions! I’m glad the hospital employees are safe, but is there no concern for those who came in contact with him or members of his family between Boston and when he arrived at the hospital?
Relax and let the trained professionals do their job.
They are doing all those things and alerting the people that need to be alerted. What you suggest would only cause unneeded panic.
Excellent points, Rebecca; thanks.
I agree with Rebecca….. Who all did he come in contact with… What flight was he on that came to Indy and how many people did he come in contact with once he landed.
Full transparency to the public is what we seek and is what Rebecca is asking for. This threat is not helped by privacy issues and CYA BS.
By “privacy issues” are you talking about HIPAA? I would be surprised if all of the various CEOs for any facility with access to this type of information haven’t made all of their associates/employees aware of what a HIPAA violation could mean…were one to occur, I could see a landshark telling the legal representation of the violator’s employer, “we’ll settle for half if you escort the violator to their car in the next fifteen minutes.”
The more important issue is that the public health department investigates these possibilities.
Alerting everyone to this instead does not help.
Asking for all this info in the name of transparency IS alarmism because frankly there are NO valid consequences to the public knowing this.
Mainly because all of the affected areas would be dealt with asap. If someone sat in the uber the epidemiologists would identify it, clean it and take care of it. Same with the rest.
Letting you know wont change that. It would however lead to unnecessary phone calls and unnecessary anxieties that would harm businesses when there is absolutely no need.
To answer your question about the aspirin- the ability to infect this way is severely limited at best. I would not recommend identifying the store publicly. It wouldnt help you simply because they already know if he went anywhere and have likely taken precautions. Therefore it is safe to go there now -if that happened.
This type of armchair epidemiology alarmism is precisely why pandemics occur- people freak out, buy masks, stock up on food and medicine and avoid businesses unnecessarily and cause strain to the economy and health system.
Thank you IBJ for one of the better news articles about this issue in our local media (well in fact, most of the media lately).
