Statement from Amber Vinson's family: "Family of nurse sick with ebola: 'in no way was Amber careless'"

It seems like there is some media panic to blame the victims and attribute to them enormous selfishness and carelessness. That's hard for me to believe, though we saw that in a tuberculosis patient some years ago. What worries me more than any individual patient is a healthcare system that seems to turn away people who tell them they might have ebola. "Nah, you're fine. Go home and sleep it off." Or "just get on the plane and stop calling with your temperature."
