Fellow passengers on his plane were given warnings about the disease’s symptoms, which can include bleeding from the nose and mouth, but were allowed to continue on their journeys.

As Ebola has an incubation period of up to 21 days, there are fears that some may even now be spreading the disease still further.

What?????

[Freeport]

Yeah... Why would you not quarantine the whole plane?

[Mr. K]

Did anyone else on the same plane eventually travel to the USA?????

In 21 days this could be a $hit$torm

I am losing track of those infected but one person was said to have come into contact with 59 at last cont.

If each of them came into contact with just two people we are screwed.

59, 118, 236, 472, 944, 1888, 3776

21 days of wandering around town touching stuff, coughing, serving meals, etc. before even showing symptoms. That’s a lot of door knobs for each person. And then multiply it by 6 (people sitting next to the guy), or 150 (the entire plane load).

According to the Daily Mail (UK) one of the passengers was the Vice PM to some country in West Africa.

That might explain why they did not isolate the passenger

.stupid politics.

Given the cost to Nigeria of treating multiple potential Ebola patients, and the option of those potential patients becoming another country's problem, I understand Nigeria's decision. I don't approve, but I'm convinced that I know why they did it.

God help the world, this is insane.

Yeah...

THAT, is the scary part. No one seemed concerned enough to issue a quarantine or a test or anything just basically the old standby "take two aspirin and put your end between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye..."
