My question "does Obama want us to be like his his home country, Kenya? Does he really care if most of us die so his health care can save a bundle of money not having to care for us?
And one more question. Did the Saints bring the virus back to New Orleans? So far it looks like the Presidenti is doing a wonderful job protecting the citizens of the US upholding the oath he took when came in power.

What do you mean by "think"? I'm not making up my own opinion, I'm just going by what the talking heads have been saying on TV for the last couple of months just like you.

Did they basically allow an infected patient to sneeze into their mouths, as a previous poster more or less implied was the necessary mode of contact.
There was a special on Discovery a week or two ago. It was about the doctors and had interviews. He though it was caught in the waiting room or exam room on people not yet diagnosed with ebola and not from a known infected person.

This is what concerns me. They keep telling us that Ebola can only be spread through the exchange of body fluids . However the spread of it seems to be moving faster than this would allow. The only explanation that I can think of it that there must be a period of when people ate contagious but not showing systems yet.

Don't you want to wait till this guy's entire family comes down with it first?
Or do you really want to base that statement on the spread in Africa, where the nearest clinic is your own floor and your doctor is your spouse having to clean up after you while you bleed profusely from every orifice.
While the community denies Ebola's very existence.

Why are we allowing people from Ebola countries to fly straight into the USA? Not too bright.
Of course, the people in charge are not only allowing anyone to walk right into the USA through the southern border - those people in charge are transporting the poor, diseased, illegals to towns and cities in every state of this once great nation of ours.
We let Third World people into our nation at their will, we get everything they bring with them - crime, illiteracy, and diseases.
Well done Obama/Feds! Well done! Transforming America into a Third World country in every way. DC needs to be blown off the map.

quote:tf, the reason pandemic is extremely unlikely here is because asymptomatic spread supposedly will not occur. I say supposedly only because "symptoms" can be an incredibly crude hallmark. But by and large, once a developed world community was looking for Ebola as a primary differential amongst febrile presentations, spread would be quickly limited.

THAT is the point CDC officials have chosen to emphasize (and it is an accurate point), rather than preventing spread to the US in the first place. The latter is a far easier and far less life endangering precept. It's almost as if CDC officials wanted an outbreak here so they could show off their wares.

Obama's incompetence, laziness, and complete lack of giving a shite is going to literally get us all killed.
If this breaks out wider than the one guy, it's time for the military to stage a coup.

I don't get this "it isn't an airborne disease" stuff. I understand that maybe the germ is not just floating around in the air but when someone sneezes, coughs or just gets a couple of drips of spit on you when conversing with someone who has the disease seems to me to put one at high risk. We've all been spit on a few times when conversing with someone. Should we not be concerned with that scenario?

You should definitely be concerned with that. It lives on for DAYS after the bodily fluid (sneeze droplets, sweat, tears) of an infected person comes into contact with a surface. It's not airborne, but it's just a step below that. What they're not saying loudly, because they don't want a panic, is how long the virus survives on surfaces that infected people touch with their fluids.

Now it's been revealed that four of his relatives are schoolkids who've been attending school since he's been here. If his family is like my family, the first thing they all did when he arrived is hug and kiss him. It also turns out that when he first went to the hospital, he told them that he had just arrived from Liberia, but that information didn't get passed along.

He payed for a plane ticket and flew over, sorry to disappoint since I know how bad you wanted to be a bigot on this.

It doesn't say which community the patient was from. Was he an illegal or a black?
He's a Liberian here visiting relatives, so chances are he's Black.

That devaluation is an inexcusable travesty.

I was being completely serious when I posted in the other thread that my tennis friend's husband landed today from the Middle East but originating in West Africa. He's sick with a cold, heavy congestion & body aches. She was trying to get him a Dr appt when she picked him up.
I'm really not all that worried about the Ebola thing in general but I really don't want to play tennis with her tomorrow high fiving & hugging when we win.

But you think if a person who flew here gets one other person sick then we should have a military coup? What will you do when this country has to face real adversity? Ask for everyone's head?
