Anyone find it weird that they destroyed one patient's dog and now have another one quarantined,if Ebola is only spread by bodily fluids?

If this freelancer had not been hired by NBC and instead returned home, subsequently developed symptoms that he could no longer deny and walked in to ER........

The potential for this kind of exposure is international.

In Ohio, a city hall was closed because a city hall employee had contact with someone who was on the flight with nurse 2. An abundance of caution thing.

Can and/ or how is secondary and beyond point of contact, going to be managed on an international basis, going forward?

Can you imagine the global and national outrage, if the Obama Admin had, in an abundance of caution, in August, banned all international inbound flights, ships and autos for an indefinite period of time, just in case?

According to multiple reports, the hospital employee is a woman who cruised with a man. They both self quarantined.

The 21 day period has passed and neither have symptoms.

Unless that car carried the oozing body of someone with Ebola and the hose used to clean the bodily fluids caused those bodily fluids to splash back on the sprayer.

Language makes a difference. No disease is confined to a socioeconomic group. that is not the way diseases are categorized.



Aids is not a gay disease and I lost 20 or more friends to its horror back in the 90's
Ebola is not a poor man's disease either
we have not been told the truth hence our distrust of Obama and his jesters
most everything they have said has been debunked
that is why we need to be overly cautious
it is been reported that the magic 21 days might not be right nor do you have to have a fever to have it
some folks want to say panic when folks are merely discussing it or yes, even being pissed at the hooligans in charge who can not seem to locate their own asses with theirs or anyone else's hands!!

Some, including irresponsible politicians in need of face time, persist with this perception that plane loads chock full of Ebola- infected Africaners are unloading every day in the US.

That freelance camera man, a U.S. citizen, could have easily been the US index patient had he not been hired for a temporary job by NBC and instead, returned home. Non military humanitarian aid volunteers come and go within the infected zones as do independent and commercial journalists and media.

Nigeria, the economic engine of Africa, has been declared, for now, Ebola free. There are dozens of daily inbound/ outbound flights in Lagos to all points of the world. Any multinational corporation with oil interests in Nigeria travel.
