I’d sure as hell want to know if I was on those flights. Or knew someone who was
Insanity. And to the person(s) who posted, no matter how developed, secure, etc the protocols are, some of the people involved in them (see e.g. Presbyterian ER) aren’t doing their jobs.
And that’s all it takes.
How comforting.

The CDC has their orders to ensure Ebola spreads resulting from their passive behavior.
So in other words..the federal authorities will decide who gets info and who doesn’t. Comforting..not.
Nothing that a script for some antibiotics couldn't cure./s
"It's just not necessary,"
Maybe, maybe not, but wouldn't it be prudent considering the seriousness of this disease....... [see tagline]
Translation. We don’t want the folks to panic. Translation of “panic” - citizens realizing that the officials screwed up and calling them about it.
Instead of properly informing about 200 people they were on an Ebola flight, they’ll let tens of thousands worry they were on the Ebola flight.
Way to go, government.
CDC is full of BS. I no longer trust them. The head of the CDC is an elitist bullcrap artist. He is a liar.
How to spread Ebola for $1,800
Uncle Sam has spent the past decade and a half frightening you out of your basic rights. He listens in on your phone calls... he practically takes naked pictures of you at the airport... and he’ll tell you he’s doing it for ONE reason.
We are fighting the most frightening undeclared war in American history.
There are terrorist cells in every corner of the world — even sleeper cells right here in America — just waiting for an opportunity to create the next 9/11.
Or something worse.
But there’s a new terror hitting American soil, and it’s our own politicians unleashing the carnage. Countless American lives may be at stake right now, thanks to the single greatest risk to your safety — and your life.
Political correctness.
Ebola, one of the most gruesome deaths on the planet, is burning like a brushfire through Africa — and it’s now reached America. The same global health officials who claimed the disease was “contained” now admit it may infect 1.4 million people worldwide... and counting.
Just days ago, our president stood before the United Nations and declared Ebola an urgent national security threat. So why the heck isn’t he halting flights from infected regions of Africa to the United States?
The truth is, he’s jeopardizing your life so he doesn’t have to hurt some Third World politician’s feelings.
And the damage has already been done. Right now we have a confirmed Ebola case in Dallas, and it appears the patient recently arrived from Africa. We don’t know if this patient has infected others — but there’s no doubt a travel ban could have prevented the whole ordeal.
But you don’t need some accidental tourist to bring Ebola into America. Any terrorist with $2,000 to spend could do the job.
Did you know you can book a flight from Freetown, Sierra Leone to JFK for just $1,800? Right now. You could be spreading Ebola across America in less than a day’s travel time.
And if you think this is a bridge too far for the ISIS and al Qaeda terrorists of the world... if you don’t think they’d attempt this kind of suicide mission... remind yourself that these are the same crazies who strap bombs to their chests.
Except an Ebola outbreak would be much more terrifying.
While Obama is acting like the top rooster on the world stage, you and I are sitting ducks. Your safety... right now... is in the hands of Third World airport security and America’s porous borders.
Contact your elected officials today and DEMAND that we halt all air travel between America and nations infected with Ebola. Because it’s high time we stopped protecting foreign politicians’ feelings — and started protecting Americans instead.
We now know his route of flight and the dates, should be easy to narrow the flight numbers down to just a handfull
How do they know he wasn’t exhibiting symptoms, albeit mild ones?
Were they sitting beside him monitoring him?
So even assuming he wasn’t feverish when he boarded the flight in Africa (which is a big assumption), he had a long journey. He could easily have been showing symptoms on arrival.
Idiocy.
WTF????
Typical bureaucratic response. “We know better than you, we are smarter than you, we are the experts, so you are at our mercy. Like it!”
Since there are NO direct flights from Monrovia to Dallas, he could have come an almost infinite variety of ways, with a stop/transfer in London or Brussels. Then direct flight to NY/Phila/DC/Chicago/Miami? Where?
One of my kids was in Morovia about a year or more ago. My memory, such as it is, is that there’s basically a daily flight from Monrovia to Brussels, and that’s it. There MAY be a flight to London or Frankfurt, other major Euro transfer points, not sure.
How many on his flights/how many in those airports/how many of those were with how many others?
Did you see this? Unbelievable.
Basically, more government people saying “trust us”.
