Ezra Klein says not to worry.
It's amusing how libs are in full force preaching to not worry about it, and even mock those who express concern about a virus that causes you to bleed out through your eye sockets and nose.
The same people who stand in line and protest things line the Redskins and Chic fil a think it's irrational to expend energy even discussing Ebola

I am not a liberal but I am not concerned with catching ebola and I cetaintly don't believe there is a massive gubment coverup going on.

Discussing it is fine and ppl should be aware of it and be on the look out for symptoms but the paranoia that some posters have it

I'm thinking this guys family must be furious at him for coming here and exposing all of them to Ebola, only four days after he knew he had helped care for a woman who died of Ebola.

I'm not afraid either, but it's worthy of news and discussion.

my
was not directed toward ebol but the reaction of some posters here. My original post in this thread was to reassure ppl that the ebola isn't going to jump out of the texas hospital and infect everybody and that ppl just need to chill the freak out.

My liberal friends are freaking out on FB and demanding that all people flying into the U.S. from any affected area be quarantined for 30 days before entry.

Exposing himself to Ebola in order to help someone in need is noble, but exposing his family to it, is downright reckless. "Inconsiderate" is too benign a word to describe what he did when he got on that plane.

This guy's family must be absolutely terrified right now. You can bet they aren't sleeping good at night.

Link above about airborne nature of Ebola
not one single piece of scientific evidence that ebola is airborne in that article?

Consider why US ordered 160k Ebola suits a month ago. And why against all iD protocol they would allow travel to infected nations and bring infected people here. This one is hiding in plain view.
better to be safe than sorry, plus if we don't need them we can ship em to africa

As I asked in your other thread: If a person sneezes on, say, a shopping cart handle and you use the cart next then wipe your eyes, or your baby sucks his thumb or whatever, could the virus be transferred that way?

I would hope that his family is in a seperate isolation wing of a hospital. They know that they have been exposed and should take all precautions. Now ppl like the ones on fb and saying that we should quaratine everyone for 30 days (even though it only takes 10 for symptoms to appear) don't have too much to worry about.

NYT article:

The current Ebola virus’s hyper-evolution is unprecedented; there has been more human-to-human transmission in the past four months than most likely occurred in the last 500 to 1,000 years. Each new infection represents trillions of throws of the genetic dice.

technically yes, but if the person has no symptoms he/she is not contagious yet. I would be more worried about more common diseases than ebola from a shopping cart. That is why you should always use the sanitizing wipes at the store.

With no consistent policy for quarantining foreign arrivals, every one of those work-ups has the potential to kill your Uncle.
uncles is a ER doc in memphis.
The dismissive bullshite regarding a disease as virulent as Ebola is breathtaking. The disregard of standard quarantine public protections, and acceptance as such, is astounding. The American public should never have been exposed to Ebola. The fact that it was, and that anyone is okay with that, is uneffingbelievable!
Tom Frieden and his fellow administrative idiots at CDC stated, 2 months ago, that Ebola was not a threat to the US. President Obama repeated that BS a few weeks ago. They were wrong, as I warned folks here they might well be. Now it may be that Ebola in this country manifests as a far less deadly precept than it is in Africa. Nonetheless it is a damn serious disease.

Richard Preston’s 1994 best seller “The Hot Zone” chronicled a 1989 outbreak of a different strain, Ebola Reston virus, among monkeys at a quarantine station near Washington. The virus was transmitted through breathing, and the outbreak ended only when all the monkeys were euthanized. We must consider that such transmissions could happen between humans, if the virus mutates.
