Ebola outbreak: diagnosis delayed after Air Canada refuses to transport blood sample
Quote:
Air Canada refused to fly a blood specimen from a patient suspected of Ebola from Edmonton to Winnipeg last weekend, CBC News has learned.
Officials are blaming poor communication and unclear protocols for the delay of more than 24 hours between when the sample was collected in Edmonton and when it finally arrived in Winnipeg's National Microbiology Lab.

This seems like a non-story, but I would think if they made enough calls to get somebody higher up at AC, they'd be willing to waive their policy since lives are potentially at stake?
