A small price to pay to protect the rights of illegals to cross the border at will.

Maybe you should make a list.

I was one of the first on FR to make the point about transmission by aerosols. This is more confirmation.

It’s pretty crazy to me that trained medical professionals are dying in such large numbers.
We are told Enola is pretty hard to transmit, yet trained doctors with protective suits are getting it?
Something isn’t adding up.
I really have to wonder if there’s a silent outbreak going on, especially given that we have a de facto state run media.

I would prefer that they separate the categories, Ebola Has Killed More Than 200 Doctors, Nurses, “And Other Healthcare Workers” in Africa, leaves some questions unanswered.

Who says they're trained or have protective suits? The vast majority of these are West African nurses and doctors. I have no idea what kind of training or gear they've received, and I know the conditions they work under are atrocious.

That’s also part of the sleazy plan. If they start forbidding flights here from Ebola hotspots, and start rigorously quarantining suspected or potential carriers of Ebola, it will automatically beg the question, “Why aren’t our BORDERS CLOSED?!”

Yes, but the CDC is so politicized that instead of acknowledging the truth - that we don't really have a definitive understanding of all the ways this virus is transmitted - the CDC keeps pushing the narrative that Ebola is ‘hard to get’. Anything that you can become infected with, despite the fact that you are using relatively high-level protective barrier clothing/suits to prevent yourself from becoming infected, is by definition not ‘hard to get’.

Sounds rough over there. Good thing the plane trip back to the USA magically removes the ability for the disease to spread and absolutely no quarantine period is needed.

Meanwhile 4,000 American soldiers have been deployed to Liberia without proper training or protective gear...

“It” (ebola) can get in through pores. Watch the Samaratin’s Purse guy’s testimony before congress.

Hands and feet have many pores.

“Don’t touch the walls” is what visitors to ebola wards are told.

EBOLA PANIC IN THE DEFENSE DEPARTMENT...!!!

Soldiers returning home from Ebola infested African countries are quarantine 21 days in Italy before entering U.S.

430 doctors and nurses died killed by the disease while treating Ebola patients in Africa...

Some African countries put 42 days in quarantine those coming from Ebola countries.

Why are health care workers from Ebola countries not forced to be at least 21 days in quarantine when they return to U.S.A. for the protection of their own families and the country?

“Why are health care workers from Ebola countries not forced to be at least 21 days in quarantine when they return to U.S.A. for the protection of their own families and the country?”

A sane country would.

Obola just broke into regular programming to promote the insane idea that there should be no quarantine. LOL!!!

I read today that ebola kills 57% of the nurses there.

Yea I saw an article about why hazmat suits aren’t helping.
The virus is crazy small (millions within a drop of blood), yet extremely complex and obviously deadly.
Evidently the lungs of an infected person can’t cause a sick person to breathe and thus make it “airborne”, but mucus can carry the virus.
So it’s a little technical and possibly misleading the way it has been characterized.
In other words, purely air from an infected person is “safe”, but air isn’t always the only thing coming out of a person’s mouth.
A solid sneeze in a crowded area could possibly infect people.
That’s without even addressing vomit.
The main thing to remember is that legit information is scarce, and the big government/ media complex will make damn sure we don’t know anything inconvenient for them.

Seriously?
I’m not in front of a TV.
I suppose open borders and a run away virus with no known cure is ideal for the Kenyan who wants to fundamentally transform us- into a third world nation that is.
I’m sure the Agenda 21 pushers are loving the possibilities here.
