PING!
They say that like it is a cold hard fact. It is pure conjecture based on anecdotal evidence. Since this "fact" is being promulgated by the Obama government and the MSM I think we should assume that it is false.
of course they are infectious while asymptomatic so fever checking at the airport is useless
question is when did this traveler buy his ticket?
Did he have a passport and visa?
was he running to America knowing he was infected?
Was he sent?
Was he honest with the medics he first saw about where he was from and when he arrived? the medics who gave him antibiotics and sent him home probably in a taxi to infect other people...
Who is paying his bills? oh never mind
Too bad the friends this guy visited weren’t Mark Zuckerberg, Marco Rubio, and the rest of the shamnesty gang.
One way to turn a red state blue (like Texas) is to intentionally spread a pandemic that wipes out a significant part of the population. I put nothing past the handlers of the @ss clown occupying the White Hut.
If I hear one more time that it can only be spread when the patient is symptomatic....how is that even possible? We don’t catch other viruses that way, which is why family members pass colds and the flu around so quickly. I think it’s another lie we’re being told.
Why are we letting anyone in from Liberia? And this guy was walking around for a week! Who knows how many others are infected?
There is one, fairly well documented, problem with depending on African officials to screen passengers exiting an Ebola infected area - bribery.
You can get almost anything you want with the right amount of money passed to the correct official. The harder it is to get something the greater the cost. So, if you had the money for a round-trip international airline ticket and wanted to leave an Ebola infected area what would you spend to ensure you did leave?
I was in the Dallas airport for an hour on September 21 (the day after this guy was there).
Ebola-guy probably stayed in the international arrivals and customs area. I just had a brief layover changing gates in a different part of the airport.
Nevertheless, I couldn’t help but re-trace my steps.

Eeeee-bolllll-aaaaaa ping!
Bring Out Your Dead
Were gonna need
a bigger cart!
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the Bring Out Your Dead ping list (formerly the Ebola ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the Bring Out Your Dead threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
Can we assume the politically correct idiots 'protecting' the country have NOT bothered to isolate the people he stayed with?
“The deadly disease spread via fluids, such as blood and sweat. It does not spread as easily as the flu, which can be carried by coughs from a victim to a new host. “
I find this to be highly suspicious. If you have Ebola and you cough and spittle etc flies through the air and is inducted into another person then of course they can get it.

If two more conservative States are hit can we assume this is the democrat's "October Surprise".... Democrat won't even stop flights out of Africa for a few weeks ... Time we need to discover if this can be spread easily on an airplane...
