The pilot and crew are in isolation for 21 days, and all carpet and seat covers are being removed and redone. But don't worry, it's really, really hard to get. Obama is hugging and kissing the nurses and there is no way this can spread in America.
Good grief, this hysteria is over the top, schools closing, carpet replacement....etc, it needs to stop!

Frontier, is NOT doing this because it thinks its pilot is infected, I mean really, did he even see the passenger? They are doing all of this so the public wont stop flying them! Lets remember, even the folks in the apartment with Duncan, when he was vomiting, etc, STILL DONT HAVE EBOLA! It is quite clear, you have to be around folks at the end stage of the virus, to catch it.

Meanwhile, you are quite content to send your kids to school with unvaccinated children, and folks wonder why the enterovirus seems to mirror Polio, and there was an outbreak of mumps at Ohio State last year.

Everyone needs to calm the hell down!

Any one of the hundreds of Conspiracy Theories.

So many decisions. So little time.
Or believe the President who has a long history of telling lies.

Or believe the head of the CDC who told us you can and you cannot get Ebola riding on a bus.

I'd go with the tin foil hat people.
They have been right more than wrong in the past 2 years.
They even had Duncan's name before the MSM did - found it in an African paper.

I agree. It is reaching hysteria, at least here on CD and a few other places.

As I watch the news, I see the denizens of Liberia, including children, behave with more courage than some herein. As for those medical workers in the Hot Zone: they awe me. One of my favorite charities (along with Muscular Dystrophy) is "Doctors Without Borders". I encourage all to contribute.

As for those four people that actually lived with Mr. Duncan: their isolation period ends October 19th. No symptoms thus far. I will admit, I would ask them to stay in isolation for another day or two, just to be safe (I have a hard time believing that '21 days' is a firm cut-off).

Hysteria is cleaning and re-carpeting and re-upholstering an entire plane.
Hysteria is closing down schools and sanitizing them.
Hysteria is employers asking the DOL if they can send people home who have visited Africa for 21 days.

Hysteria is NOT people posting on an internet forum.

25% is low. Not "extremely low" but it is low.

Has someone become infected while riding a bus?
