Man not worried about Ebola after visiting same bridal shop as Amber Joy Vinson

AKRON, Ohio -- Peter Pattakos spent 20 minutes Saturday in an Akron bridal shop, getting fitted for a tux for his friend's wedding. Thursday, his friend sent a text message, telling him that Ebola patient Amber Joy Vinson had been in the store around the same time.

"I thought, 'Oh, that's interesting,'" Pattakos said in a telephone interview Friday.

Summit County Public Health is asking people who visited Coming Attractions Bridal and Formal, on East Tallmadge Avenue, from noon to 3:30 p.m. Saturday, to contact the health department at 330-926-3939. The store was closed Thursday because of concerns about Ebola.

Pattakos, 36, a Cleveland attorney who lives in Bath Township, called the health department, which told him to call back if he exhibits any Ebola symptoms. He called a doctor, who told him not to worry.

"I didn't exchange any bodily fluids with anyone, so I'm not worried about it," he said. "I'm much more likely to be mistakenly killed by a police officer in this country than to be killed by Ebola, even if you were in the same bridal shop."

Vinson, a nurse at a Dallas hospital, treated Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan, who later died. A Firestone High School and Kent State University graduate, she spent last weekend with family in Tallmadge planning her wedding.

Vinson tested positive for Ebola on Tuesday, after returning to Dallas, but may have had symptoms as early as Oct. 10, the day she flew Frontier Airlines to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. Officials are contacting passengers on that flight and her Monday flight back to Dallas.

Concerns over the deadly disease, which is spread through infected bodily fluids, have led to business, government and school closings throughout Cleveland and Akron.

Pattakos thinks people are overreacting, and he blames wall-to-wall media coverage. He hopes Vinson recovers soon.

"I wish people would freak out this much about climate change," he said. "It's one of those problems that's real easy for the media to cover, rather than some of those other problems that people should be more concerned with."

Anna Younker, the owner of Coming Attractions Bridal & Formal, Inc., said though she isn’t overly concerned about her own health, she is taking precautions to ensure her customers are safe.

Younker called the CDC when her and the staff found out Vinson was diagnosed with Ebola, and said officials told her not to worry at first.

The CDC then contacted Younker and told her she needs to self-quarantine.

“What are we supposed to do? Either tell us everything is fine, have somebody come out here and investigate maybe. I feel like they don’t know yet what to do,” Younker said.

Younker said Vinson didn’t show signs of being sick in the store, stating the nurse was not coughing, sneezing or showing any such signs.

“They made a decision on the dress and the color that day. We measured and we got the order started,” Younker said.

As for Vinson, Younker said she believes she is a good woman who made a poor decision.

“Working with her, she’s a very smart young lady. Her entire bridal party was very nice and smart people. To make a choice like that, I don’t know where that came from,” Younker said.

Officials will monitor Younker’s temperature twice a day.

Younker said she plans to have her store cleaned before she reopens for business.

Health officials are asking people who visited Coming Attractions Bridal & Formal, Inc. located at on 1220 East Tallmadge Ave. on Oct. 11 between the hours of Noon and 3:30 p.m. to call (330) 926-3939.

That brings the question to my mind about the bridesmaids ( I confess I used to watch all those wedding planner shows on T.V.) would any of them been with her at least very close contact Usually bridesmaids go as a group with the bride for their fittings and such
