Think about it, just a few more people get infected and it will spread much further and faster than it ever did in Africa.
Last I checked, no country outside the continent of Africa has banned anyone with appropriate documentation from entering, despite having recently traveled within Western Africa. I can and do appreciate this could change.

The CDC guidelines are for BSL2.

Ebols is BSL4

The CDC says workers wear 2 pairs of gloves.
BSL4 has them wearing 3 pairs of gloves.

I'm not convinced either. It's not adding up.

Some article said near 70 healthcare professionals took care of Duncan in the hospital.

2 we now know of. What about the other 68 ?
Both in their 20's with not a lot of experience under their belts.

Yeah, and you can keep your doctor if you want to.

When will Obama learn his word means nothing? The majority of Americans have completely lost faith in him and put very little stock in his promises.

His refusal to take the absolutely necessary step of blocking travel to and from the affected areas is astounding.


and today he is BRAGING he hugged and kissed the nurses here at Emory
can he sound more stupid???!!!!

Why are they so upset the nurse got onto a plane? They say it is no threat for West Africans to fly around the world. This don't add up!

I heard on the media these healthcare workers also treated many other patients at the same time.. treating Duncan then other patients.. this seems crazy!

Maybe we'll get lucky and he'll end up a victim of his own incompetence.....

People seem to think "Oh it doesn't apply to me".

How many others have not stay in self quarantine for 21 days ?



we are supposed to trust the CDC
I sure as hell don't
none of these people take any of this serious
I have a cleaning service and several of my clients travel a lot how concerned should I be
handling all of their things in their house if this grows here in Atlanta?
