AKRON, Ohio (AP) - Health officials in Ohio are monitoring more than 100 people following the visit by a Dallas nurse who tested positive for Ebola shortly after returning to Texas from the Cleveland area.
Just the folks the wedding planning nurse presented a contagion to. I'd be pissed taking off 21 days of my life. Economic hit is growing massive with this one. Now I kind of understand Obama when he practically pleads with the American people and media to ignore the panic and just carry on. Americans are going to demand who contacted the 100 just added, and then pull them too out of circulation, too. Oh, I don't know if those 100 are at home self-quarantining, probably not (I'd appreciate it if they would).
We didn't want to make Liberia mad. And we had it "under control."
If you are referring to not allowing flights in from Liberia, it makes it much harder to track people who are coming into this country from that country because they would simply travel to other countries before making their way here.
As for this whole Ebola scare, let me know when Ebola has killed as many Americans as AIDS killed.
Where's the Surgeon General..hiding under his desk ?
He's the head doctor for the US.
We don't have a Surgeon General and haven't had one for nearly a year! Heard this first on TV, so looked it up to be certain, and find it to be absolutely deplorable that we don't!

As the media—and some political candidates—stoke fears about a full-blown Ebola outbreak in the U.S., shouldn’t there be someone to tell us what’s going on?
The answer is yes. That person is the surgeon general of the United States.
The problem is, the U.S. doesn’t have a surgeon general.

If Obama had it in him and wasn't a proven narcissist he could do so much good right now with a simple comforting remark. All he does is have others say "there were faults." Never an apology from the executive office, ie. the one who executes day to day US operations. Somehow he confused the job with that of congress.

Because the US Customs is only interested in where the plane came from?
