The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention posted tweets tonight about the nation’s latest Ebola patient, New York City Doctor Craig Spencer.
The two tweets described Spencer as having successfully passed through the CDC’s ‘enhanced screening’ for travelers from Ebola hot zones.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
It will be real interesting to see if his GF comes down with it. I predict the Uber driver and the bowlers will be OK.
wait wut?
Is he also one of the multitudes spewing contempt for the Dallas Medical care system caught unaware that our federal government is so utterly stupid and inept in their job that they were allowing people in form these affected countries? Non Americans with no business being here?
THis is pure insanity
Obama would rather we die than offend West Africa.
Those screenings are working so well! We should have more!
There’s no better plausible explanation.
I do believe the WH has the vaccine and/or antedote for this. It’s not for the peons.
I, for one, know that I’ll sleep much better tonight knowing that the CDC has implemented the enhanced procedures.
Note to self: tomorrow morning go buy more water, ammunition, and canned food. In that order.

This is from the Doctor’s without Border’s website concerning returning MD’’s from Ebola stricken areas.
“Upon returning to the United States, each MSF[this is the French translation of Doctors without Borders] staff member goes through a thorough debriefing process, during which they are informed of our guidelines.
The guidelines include the following instructions:
1. Check temperature two times per day
2. Finish regular course of malaria prophylaxis (malaria symptoms can mimic Ebola symptoms)
3. Be aware of relevant symptoms, such as fever
4. Stay within four hours of a hospital with isolation facilities
5. Immediately contact the MSF-USA office if any relevant symptoms develop
These guidelines are consistent with those provided by the CDC to people returning from one of the Ebola-affected countries in West Africa. MSF is also implementing new federal guidelines outlining reporting requirements for people returning from Ebola affected countries.
Our colleague in New York followed the MSF protocols and guidelines since returning from West Africa. At the immediate detection of fever on the morning of October 23, 2014, he swiftly notified the MSF office in New York. He did not leave his apartment until paramedics transported him safely to Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan, and he posed no public health threat prior to developing symptoms.
While MSF is not in a position to comment on his medical condition or the care he is receiving, the organization sincerely wishes for his swift and complete recovery.
Steps Doctors Without Borders takes to ensure the health and well being of its staff and the community at large:
If returned staff members do not live within four hours of appropriate medical facilities, MSF will ensure they are accommodated appropriately during the 21-day incubation period.
In the unlikely event that a staff person develops Ebola-like symptoms within the 21-day period, he/she is advised to immediately contact MSF and to refrain from traveling on public transportation. Local health authorities are immediately notified.
As long as a returned staff member does not experience any symptoms, normal life can proceed. Family, friends, and neighbors can be assured that a returned staff person who does not present symptoms is not contagious and does not put them at risk. Self-quarantine is neither warranted nor recommended when a person is not displaying Ebola-like symptoms.
However, returned staff members are discouraged from returning to work during the 21-day period. Field assignments are extremely challenging and people need to regain energy. In addition, people who return to work too quickly could catch a simple bacterial or viral infection (common cold, bronchitis, flu etc.) that may have symptoms similar to Ebola. This can create needless stress and anxiety for the person involved and his/her colleagues. For this reason, MSF continues to provide salaries to returned staff for the 21-day period.”
Taking a jog, being sweaty and then getting on the metro is fine to do. Bowling, being in touristic hot spots and having a restaurant meal are A OK, too. These are all within the realm of approved activities if you are feeling punky and crummy, but do not yet have the squirts and experiencing an elevated temperature of 103.
If Only!
Well DUH, he had just got back from Guinea, he wasn’t experiencing symptoms yet..it takes a few days to a week to show up..WOW, and these people are in charge of keeping US safe, we are so screwed
The Democrats are in panic trying to keep all this news quiet until after the elections. Democrat Politics ALWAYS trumps public safety.
Hopey-Changey!!!!
Defund the CDC! Abolish the FDA, HEW, EPA...
‘Ebola-raddled doctor rushed through customs’
And what lesson do we learn from this story, comrades?
We learn that this was George W. Goldstein’s fault.
(Two Minute Hate portion of WH briefing commences.)
"...I do believe the WH has the vaccine and/or antidote for this. It’s not for the peons..."
Very interesting theory you shared.
My thoughts are that President Obama is an America-hating sociopath who is presenting as sane...yet is really NOT.
It is simply shocking that a FULL TRAVEL BAN has not yet been enacted to/from all global ebola hotspots.
Ha...Obama just channeling Sir Winston Churchill....
Churchill's strategic directives to his war cabinet:
1. Destroy manufacturing industry ...starting with ball bearing factories
2. Destroy means of production and distribution of petroleum products
3. Destroy means of production of electricity...start with coal mines and railways.
4. Terrorize the population ...fire bomb Dresden.
And the Obama equivalents:
1. Taxes, EPA, Obamacare and jobs exported
2. Stop the Keystone pipeline and target Fracking
3. EPA and CO2 to shut down coal fired electrical generators
4. Introduce Ebola and numerous diseases into USA by open borders, import thousands of illegal children from South America and continue to allow flight from Ebola infected countries.
