I don't understand what you're trying to say.

There is another case in Hawaii. And we are still allowing people to travel from the Hot countries. Ridiculous and criminal at this point

No shite. If you are arriving from a shite hole of a country. Mandatory quarantine and disease screening required.

The "good" news is that my friend's husband who arrived sick from West Africa yesterday went to the dr today. He was asked extensive questions when the appt was made, had to wear a mask to the dr office and put on gloves immediately upon arriving through the back door. His appt was at 3:00 so haven't heard back yet but they seemed to be handling it very well based upon their pre-appt prep. His symptoms seem to be more congestion now so think he will be ok.

Send his dumb fricking freeloading arse back with all his family. Why deal with this fricking shite! And cancel all flights from that hell hole! WTF is wrong with that loser Obama letting this country be so fricking unsafe? You dontvthink they'll sneak across the boarder......or worse, get stuck in a country like Mexico and start the unstoppable epidemic there?

How is that handling it well. He should have never been allowed to have contact with people until he was cleared. I mean hell. He came from Africa sick.

I think I saw this on an X-Files once. Luckily Obama has assured us any problems we'd face are unlikely.

He travels there very frequently for work.

The reason it's "good" news is bc I was very upset that he was allowed to fly home yesterday and that my friend was so nonchalant about his illness. He described his symptoms as flu-like & I posted a few times yesterday trying to get an understanding of how easily it's spread. I played tennis with his wife today and didn't want a lot of contact with her.

That said, it's "good" news bc it seems the dr's office took his illness & travel much more seriously than others had up to this point. It's also good news that his symptoms are congestion and cold-like instead of flu-like.

I still didn't let her have a sip of my beer today.

I might be paranoid but think I would've skipped tennis. Do they have kids in school? Was he on a commercial plane?

Hopefully he just has flu.

Well well well. Here we have the standard recoil from an unknown danger. Back in the days when we didn't know you basically couldn't get AIDS unless you had anal sex, or shared body fluids from a Hatian hemophiliac prostitute, (or went to a gay dentist who didn't properly sterilize his equipment), people like you didn't want their toddlers going to preschool with other toddlers who had aids. Toddlers never swap fluids. Just don't worry about it. All is well.

I think he was trolling. That's why I agreed with him.

Which means it's nothing to be ashamed of, unless someone just remains ignorant to the problem even when more knowledge is out.

AIDS fluids are different than Ebola fluids. Toddlers do exchange the types of fluids that cause Ebola to spread. For example, sneezing on another person is enough to potentially transmit the disease.
