irst they say this:
quote:
Spokesman Josh Earnest said that current anti-Ebola measures, which include screenings in West African airports and observation of passengers in the United States, will be sufficient to prevent the “wide spread” of the virus. 

Then they sat this:
quote:
West African countries are screening travelers for elevated temperatures, but it is possible to be infected and not show signs for several weeks.  

What a fricking circus this administration is.

The disease isn't contagious until symptoms appear. Symptoms include fever, headache and fatigue. At that point, the Ebola virus is spread via bodily fluids.

Health workers are at especially high risk, because they are in close contact with infected people and their bodily fluids. Adding to the danger, doctors may mistake the initial stages of an Ebola infection for another, milder illness.

take it easy. You are not going to catch it from a United airline seat. IF you worked in the hospital and were dealing with the patient you might want to be careful.

However if you are that concerned about it, just take the travel size lysol wipes and wipe down your seat then use germ x on your hands.
