However, that was 20 plus years ago. Not a Dr. Not over in W. Africa who had treated any Ebola patients. Still, not sure what or how much I would have done since coming home.
From what I heard the Dr didn't have a temp/fever at that time. Considering my age now, prob not much at all, even if I didn't have a temp.

He ran 3 miles AND he went bowling AND he went out to eat...when he was fatigued. I'm exhausted just reading that sentence.

Thank you.

It now looks like 15 Caribbean countries have banned foreigners who have traveled in the affected countries and Nigeria, over the past 21-42 days.

Columbia and Jamacia also ban their own nationals, too.

North Korea has banned all visitors from, anywhere.

The U.S., UK and Canada are screening those arriving on connecting commercial flights.
Those countries with non stop flights from any of the three affected countries, France, Morocco and Belgium are not screening upon arrival. No doubt their flight attendants are on high alert for any signs of onboard situations.

There should be a "holding facility" (a nice one of course) for those returning here after treating patients in Africa.
I was talking about the US healthcare workers who have been and will continue to treat Ebola patients in the US.

Nurse 1 and 2 and now this MD were all self monitoring which has worked out well. Thus far no one who had contact with either nurse has become infected. No reason to think someone who rode the subway with this MD before he became symptomatic will become infected.

Sounds like he was not all that tired or he had an uber case of denial.

What about the Emergency Room nurses. They never know what's coming in the doors. And they are treating people without Ebola precautions.

And Obama appoints a Czar. Who cares about the American people. Protecting Americans is his top job and he can't even do that right.

Obama's programming stops him banning flights from the Ebola hot zone, no matter how many Americans are infected. Fundamentally transforming America requires open borders and granting amnesty to several millions of unskilled needy illegals.

Gangs, drug dealers, murderers and carriers of contagious diseases that are infecting our kids in schools are flowing across our southern border daily at will.

No way could an American president be so cold and calculating regarding the safety of Americans, right? Wrong!
