Nigerian vomits on a plane that is on the way to JFK and then dies while still in-flight. Officials say it wasn't Ebola. Rep Peter King says the body was only given a cursory inspection before Ebola was discounted.

I can't imagine anyone more qualified to deal with a public health/disease crisis than a lawyer.
Awesome! The guy who approved the $535 million dollar loan to Solyndra.

That's great. It's comforting we have really good controls in place. I'm sure there was a protocol to follow, and everyone followed it -- so relax, everybody.

I am amazed that a nurse who treated Mr Duncan went on a cruise??!!! what was she thinking???!!!!


This is another example of "blame the nurse". If you had read MJJersey's link, you would know the woman from Dallas is not a nurse. But it's so much easier to just blame nurses than actually find out what happened.

Wonderful, Obama appoints a political hack. They need a military guy to run this show. instead we have a Democrat puppet. You have to wonder what kind of a crisis it will take before Obama places country above party.

And I thought Dear Leader's CD psychophantic posters didn't like all the politicization of the Ebola Outbreak in America?

There are no direct/ non stop flights between the hot zone and the U.S.

Based upon the limited number of flights operated by non US carriers that continue to fly between Cassablanca and Brussels and the hot zone, it appears about 1500- 2000 people a week go into/ depart from the hot zone.
These flights serve as the primary transport for medical and humanitarian aid as well as international media.

That 100- 150 passengers a day arrive , via connecting flights from the hot zone, is possible. A perception that all these arrivals are hot zone nationals is fallacy.

US and international media has reported from US , UK and Canada airport screening stations and it's obvious most passengers being screened for fever at designated airports are not hot zones nationals.
