Why did Obama create air travel? 911 wouldn't have happened without Obama!

So....having a 1 in a million chance of contracting a thing...exposed a million times...likely to get it.
And, 1 in a million chance of contracting an nearly always fatal something.....take ALL precautions to avoid that slim chance
AIDS is also deadly, but I don't see doctors taking the same precautions they do for Ebola, nor do I ever hear of doctors contracting it from a patient.

Link to context?
HIV is something "extremely hard to contract" in non blood to blood contact ways.
Ebola almost requires it.
I suspect the main thing you are referring to are people allaying fears of some who thought it spread like flu

He was visiting family in Dallas, so I don't think he has a job here. He just flew in on 9/20.
Looks to me like we need to restrict incoming flights from the affected countries.

I've heard rumblings from a virology prof down the hall who thinks there might be a chance of air born or at least aerosol transmission....and IIRC correctly the MSDS sheet alludes to it as well.

As scary you might find AIDS, HIV is a BS-2 organism to Ebola's 4
Wanna know what else is BS-2?
Salmonella.
That is why you see such a big difference.

No boots on the ground, just a few advisers.

It is, relatively speaking.
There thousands of people on twitter and facebook claiming this is going to be a huge pandemic that kills millions across the globe because they think it spreads like the flu. The bottom line is that the kinds of viruses that cause pandemics don't spread like ebola does.

After all, it wasn't fair that only Africa has to deal with Ebola outbreaks. I mean, we need to handle our fair share of Ebola cases, too.
progleftlibtard morons do think this way..

I'll ask again. How many people did you come in contact with in the last 5 days?
1000? 5000?

A great irony of this situation is that, at least on my FB feed, the same people terrified this will mutate, become airborne and kill us all are the same people regularly posting links about how evolution is false. Not surprisingly, they fail to see that the mechanism behind evolution is the very thing required for the virus to do what they fear it doing.
