Nancy Snyderman Apology - It doesn't happen so often that food and Ebola are related. Still, in Nancy Snyderman's case, the NBC News' chief medical editor, is a reality.
Nancy Snyderman had been absent from NBC network after she traveled to Liberia with a crew, including Ashoka Mukpo, the cameraman who became an Ebola patient.
Once she returned, she confined herself to a voluntary Ebola quarantine that was supposed to last until Oct. 22, Huffington Post noted.
The problem is that 72 hours after the editor began her quarantine; she violated it to go out and get takeout food. She was spotted while doing so, according to Yahoo News.
After this situation happened, a backlash of comments and criticisms took place. There were even questions if Nancy Snyderman would return at all to NBC. The fact that she was the chief medical editor makes the whole deal a bit more ironic.
Yet, it happened on Wed. 3 that she had an interview with "Today" co-host Matt Lauer. There's she apologized for the entire situation.
"I'm very sorry for not only scaring my community and the country, but adding to the confusion of terms that I think came as fast and furious as the news about Ebola did," she said and Huffington Post reported.
She also stated that her crew and herself were taking their temperatures four times a day. Still, they were "insensitive" towards the huge fear that all Americans faced with Ebola.
Lauer asked her later on if she was willing to return to Africa. Nancy Snyderman said that the situation in West Africa is a completely serious one and needs to be taken care of, so she would return with her crew, if needed.
Nancy Snyderman's apology wasn't exactly welcome by many. Even TMZ stated that it wasn't an actual apology, but it was tinted with excuses.
