Not sure what a "RWnut" is but you get ebola stay the hell outta here. Pretty simple stuff until liberals get in the mix.

I'm sure it will be Bush's fault soon right? Lunatics......

Actually FB is correct in his posting about out of control.
The WHO and CDC are very worried because it's in 3 countries in highly populated areas where people can and do get on planes for international travel.

In Liberia they are avoiding doctors and hospitals.
Strict airport screenings are being avoided and they are taking to ships and autos to travel.

Sawyer's international flight to Liberia proved them wrong that people with ebola would be too sick to travel.

It is you. The citizen has the right to return to the US for care, why do you hate Americans?
So now it is a Liberal thing, hmmm, that is why the first answer was "you".

As a retired nurse I'm very unhappy they are bringing people to Atlanta that are infected. I think it's a mistake and while it's not transferred easily, I fear of human mistakes that can and do happen. I currently work part time in a hospital as a patient sitter and often see staff not follow basic hand washing techniques and find it scary. No matter how good that facility is, I think we are asking for it.
That man is nuts, but he is right for once..

If we can't manage 2 known cases in a dedicated, first-world facility, we may as well give up right now.

2.Bio-Terrorism. Another way it could change is if a really dedicated group of jihadists went there to be deliberately infected with the objective of getting them into Europe or the Americas before the onset of symptoms. Doing that would not be hard, it just takes a few Toyota Hi-Lux pickups and an propeller airplane or two. Slip the affected areas, then hope on a plane and the horror begin.
Speculating in Fear again?

I think one goes to the CDC and there's also an ebola victim being sent to Georgia to be treated in a local hospital.

U.S. Ebola Patients Will Fly Into Georgia Air Force Base - WSJ

Emory University Hospital in Georgia is expected to receive Ebola virus patient as American aid workers are evacuated from Liberia
