I knew that. Thanks for the correction.

Most tourists, seeking to avoid San Jose, prefer to fly into Liberia.

There is no reason to believe that. Healthcare workers get exposed because of breaks in technique when taking off their protective gear. It's very easy to do it wrong. Doctors Without Borders even recommends having an observer monitor its removal. Workers with no experience would be at much greater risk, perhaps not understanding the difference between managing gear for Ebola compared to other infections. It's user failure.

So they say, how was it that the cameraman in full Hazmat gear got it then?

How many camera men have sex with the patients of an HIV clinic.?

I believe he disclosed that he had handled bodies or volunteered to help clean up after bodies and probably had not suited up properly.

He was only in partial gear and he power sprayed a car that had an ebola victim in it.
He thinks he got splashed.

He actually had more gear on then those cleaners in DFW that power sprayed the sidewalk where Duncan threw up. They had none at all.


Look at this picture of the crews that sanitized the schools.
Nothing says protection like a hazmat suit with rolled up sleeves

Humans are their own worst enemies.

Duncan was not at JFK. He flew from Brussels to Dulles and then onto Dallas.

There are only two commercial carriers still flying to/ from Liberia , Royal Air Marocvia via Casablanca and Brussels Air via Brussels. These flight carry primarily aid workers. Most Liberian nationals could never afford an airline ticket.
Reportedly, both carriers are taking thermal temps of all outbound passengers and denying passage to anyone with a fever. Flight attendants have been exposed to all outbound passengers since the epidemic began 6 months ago and thus far, none have contracted Ebola.

No nation outside the continent of Africa has banned all visas for people from infected areas. I do not know why this is.

Default Why Won’t Obama Ban Air Travel From Countries Where Ebola Is Out Of Control?

"Even though it has already been demonstrated that Ebola can be brought over to the United States by a passenger on an airplane, Obama refuses to do anything that would even restrict air travel from nations where Ebola is spiraling out of control."

The school crews were overreacting to begin with as no one that attended school had signs of infection and thus, according to the medical heads, could have passed the virus on to others. There was no need to disinfect the schools at all except to make parents more comfortable. Wasted resources....

Globalism. People in power aren't scared enough yet. When they become scared the flights will end.

Recall that Sawyer called some people in power in the government who told the doctors to let him go.
The doctors refused and Sawyer fought them. And this was IN Africa.
