BUMBLING BUFFOONS OF TRIMET MISHANDLE ANOTHER INCIDENT

 TriMet whooping cough scare: Multnomah County health officer says driver's case 'unconfirmed' | OregonLive.com
Covering the door of a cordoned-off No. 10 bus with yellow “caution tape” and an ominous sign warning of an “infected bus.” Sending out a public announcement that a driver had whooping cough. Not consulting with local health officials.
TriMet says it messed up with how it handled a health scare that started with a tweet on Tuesday afternoon and ended with an apology about 24 hours later.
Oregon's largest public transit agency conceded that it panicked.
“We were obviously wrong or mistaken,” said Harry Saporta, TriMet’s safety and security executive.  “To our knowledge, we had an operator who had been diagnosed with whooping cough.”
