Newly instituted screening procedures at New York's JFK International Airport identified 91 arriving passengers as having a higher risk of being infected with Ebola based on their recent travel, CDC director Dr. Tom Frieden said Monday. None of the airline passengers had a fever, Frieden said, noting that of five people who were sent for further evaluation, none were determined to have Ebola.

I ain’t traveling. No way. No how.
See, it’s working. They just need more money and more government parasites to run the show more efficiently.
So shut up and pay your taxes!
I imagine they’ve been “flagging” a lot of little old ladies in wheel chairs and toddlers.
Duncan didn’t have a fever either. That’s why he was allowed on the flight from Africa. Good God. Is anyone going to get this right????? Obviously, fever alone is not an indicator.
Big deal. Means nothing. The idiots will hold this up as a “see told you so” Meanwhile the plague spreads.
More government Kabuki Theater.
blood tests...
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...
I might say that right is wrong and wrong is right and mens hearts will fail them etc.
Luke 21:26New King James Version (NKJV)
26 men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken
When testing for something, ya got yer choice of a tendency toward false positives or false negatives. When considering Ebola, which side would YOU rather err on?
I am OK with letting travelers from these ebola countries coming in. BUT!!!, they should be welcomed with a handshake by Zero, Moosechelle, Hairy Reid, Nazi Pelozi, Smucky Schumer, Mark Uterus and really all the derocRATS that oppose travel restrictions. Put up or shut up.
No symptoms ... at least not yet. Did they capture some basic info for future tracking?
no clinton gloves....allowed
re the clinton gloves comment
At a White House meeting last week, some Secret Service agents wore rubber gloves when greeting the officials. Clinton personally assured the group that Secret Service Director Eljay Bowron “is taking steps to ensure that it will not happen again.”

The left knows all of this, at least those at the national level. They seem to enjoy suffering in those who they see as beneath them. That would be us.
To the leftist elites we would be like massive livestock deaths to farmers. Order more livestock and start over, better that the fence jumpers are gone.
