Ebola coming to a town near you.

[CAP1]

The end of time is upon us.  Perhaps have all management of the CDC move to and set up in that Texas death trap, errrr, hospital.  second, stop all air travel and quarantine everyone wishing to travel to the United States for 21 days. Within the united states   No state to state travel for 21 days.    We are just looking at the tip of the ice burg.  How many people did this second health worker see and interact with , how many other patients within the hospital itself did this second health worker interact with over the last week, what about their families and the interactions of each family member.

At one time all new arrivals   to the United States arriving in NEW York harbor were guests of the United States on Ellis Island for two weeks, which was the incubation period for typhoid and TB.  Perhaps we need to impose such measures again today.

Of course travel restrictions will never happen, not with just an out break of two ,  no the government and the experts will wait , my guess is until we have 50 or more cases in 5 states and by then its' just to late.

 the highlighted part. but it'll never happen here.

It has been said over and over and over it needs to be treated in Africa not over here, they need to move all necessary equipment to Africa and treat it over there.. This just keeps getting worse everyday.

Edit and what kind of worries me is that my son is a US Navy corpsman and I don't want him to end up in Africa.

 remember when they brought that doctor back here? back then i was saying it was gonna be a mistake. i was called paranoid by friends and associates. guess they were a little off, huh?

Bringing the doctor back did not pose a problem nor did it result in one. It's not the known factor that's a cause for worry, it's the unknown(s).

Nothing on the news today except the idiot lady who stopped here to infect, er, visit her family.  Now they are saying we should be safe because her symptoms didn't start until Tuesday after she landed in Texas.  I call roadkill(BS) on that and worry for all the employees and other travelers who happened to cross paths with her dumb ass.

 in my mind, it set a precedent. it should not have happened, 'cause now every infected person wants to come here, no matter what they have to do to get here. THAT'S why i knew it'd be a problem.

 don't get me wrong. i truly DO feel bad for those infected. BUT.........they need to be quarantined till they're known to be over it.

i can tell ya this. mom stays with me now. she doesn't go to my brothers any more. i'm stuck with her. that's a good thing, 'cause i can protect her. my brother, although i love him to death, is a moron. he can't. he won't. if this crap actually does get outta hand, i will find a way to keep mom from leaving the house till it's cleared up. i will continue to go to the shop, being as careful as i can, so i can keep paying the bills. if it gets too far outta hand, i'll close up for a bit, and stay here with her. whatever i hafta do to keep her safe.

You can thank the CDC too apparently.

Vinson told CBS Dallas Fort Worth that she was feeling ill before boarding her flight. She had a low grade fever, but she said that officials told her it was okay to get on the plane. Vinson told CBS that she called the CDC several times with concerns.

Ebola is only contagious when a patient is symptomatic. Vinson's 99.5 F fever wasn't high enough to be considered a symptom.

The CDC confirmed to FOX 4 News that they gave Vinson the green light to fly. "Vinson was not told that she could not fly," a government spokesperson told NBC News.

Are US airports doing any kind of screening at all?

Read that the 2nd nurse left before Nina fell ill -- plus her phone calls to the CDC.  You accusers get a fact now and then.  Ignoramuses make things worse.

My post of 6 Oct '14

A former chauffeur uses his head and when he finds out he's been infected leaves his shack in Liberia and fly's to the Land of the dumb where he knows even a Bum can get better free health care then the richest person in Liberia, "or probably any other place in Africa".

The guy knew he had it and he probably blew his lifes savings on his one shot for Zmapp and life. This is the real problem for developed countries here. The fact that there IS an incubation period. If you handled or had relations with someone sick of it in Africa you know your a dead man, or woman, walking cause nobody is going to help you, what with an almost nonexistant health care system. So you take your one shot to live and fly to America, or England, or Germany. Anywhere your passport will take you with enough dough to last you three weeks. Thats what this guy did and look at the stir he caused.

Im not saying dont help these people Im just saying help them over there. We need a total travel ban from affected countries, most of all for non-citizens. Its only a matter of time before Europe gets banged by Ebola. They have much stronger ties to Africa cause they robbed the place for centuries and I bet they put travel bans in place.

This is no joke. With every new infection the virus mutates and these INTL airports are just plain germ factories. We've caught them washing their feet in the sinks, pee'ing in the sinks, or wiping their bums and throwing the paper on the floor of the stall. I wont even use a public restroom in one.

last i'd read, they're taking temps of people coming from effected countries......

Apparently Frontier has no ebola fees.

I flew this weekend, and at security they were swapping everyone's hands with something that presumably detected bad stuff.  They didn't say it was for Ebola virus (they didn't say what it was for, at all), but I've never seen them doing that before.

Yes they are checking body temps to see if the temp is below 100.4F. The nurse was 99.5F. But, even if the person is below 100.4F it doesn't mean the temp of the person can go above 100.4F on the flight or later.
