Diary Prequel Package — page 383

Oct. 18, 2014 --I talk to Nina through speaker phone. She is pleasant and I do not want to tire her since she is rather weak and worn out. Still have some diarrhea and has LFT abnormalities likely due to the experimental meds she received in Dallas. Besides a plasma transfusion from Kent Brantly she received ZMapp, Tekmira drug (siRNA), and Brincidofovir. Both brincidofvir and Tekmira could give LFT abnormalities. I appear on Good Morming America (weekend edition) Oct. 19, 2014 (Sunday)- I appear on all 5 Sunday morning TV shows > NBC Meet the Press with Chuck Todd; CBS Face the Nation with Bob Shieffer; ABC This Week interviewed by Martha Raddatz; CNN State of the Union with Candy Crowley; and FOX Sunday with Chris Wallace. Having one person on all 5 Sunday AM Shows is called a "Full Ginsburg" named after Mr. Ginsburg, the lawyer for Monica Lowinski during the Bill Clinton Sex scandal. Very few people have done a "Full Ginsburg". I would set the new record next Sunday (see below). I was accompanied in a limo jumping from studio to studio with Andrea Purse, Director of Media Broadcast for White House Communications. She was great in getting me to studios in time. She did not at all hint at what I should be saying. The White House is now putting me out on all the major TV shows since Tom has been giving "weak" performances on TV and at Hearings. And so now the White House wants me out there. That evening, I went to the SCSU and questioned Nina about her taking care of As it turned out, when| came in she wore a regular gown, boots, face mask and shield, double gloves. I asked her whether there was any open skin and she said that her neck was exposed front and back and that all of her hair was exposed. She did his for 2 sessions with and she did not shower out the first time, but did the second time. Also, when PCR came back positive, she switched to PPEs with no skin exposed. However, that was on the 3 day of her taking care of| In other words, she worked with open skin even though it was highly suspect that had Ebola. Bad news for the administration of Texas Presbyterian. I would subsequently go back and re-question her tomorrow (Monday) evening. Of Note, Amber Vinson the other infected nurse did the night shift after Nina on the first day of "open skin" and actually relived Nina who did the day shift Oct. 20, 2014 (Monday) -- Am on a panel with WTOP in the Newseum together with Jesse Goodman and Joh Sharfstein, Commissioner of Health of State of Maryland. Sylvia Burwell calls me up and I explain to her that Nina was working for 2 days with open skin showing before converting to more strict PPEs. Sylvia burst into tears on the phone. She asks me to help her figure out what the hell is going on here as she is totally losing faith in CDC. That evening I question Nina more and she tells me that during those first days of working with with the less stringent PPE (open skin), that on a couple of occasions a CDC person (a woman) came by and looked at what they were doing and what they were wearing and said: "You are good-to-go; you are doing everything
