Man was already treated and cured in Liberia

An Indian resident who tested positive for Ebola—and was cured—has landed in Delhi from Liberia.

The 26-year-old man is being isolated in a facility at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International airport, The Times of India reports.

According to the Times, the man had already been treated for Ebola in West Africa, currently does not have symptoms and tested negative for the virus before he flew. However, his semen tested positive for the virus.

He had a medical clearance certificate from the Liberian government saying the had been treated and was confirmed negative from blood tests—that would deem him Ebola-free, according to the World Health Organization and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). His blood also tested negative in India. Semen can test positive after clinical clearance for up to three months, according to the CDC. The agency recommends abstinence from sex—including oral sex—for at least six months. If abstinence cannot be followed, the CDC recommends condoms to prevent disease spread.

Apparently India doesn’t trust him to keep it in his pants.

Don’t tell the TSA about this.

Tested his semen.

Just. D@mn.

Liberia might have been wise to have done the same...before sending them home, a lot less would have been infected.

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your......

(Since all records of obama's past were lost in a tragic boating accident and fire, no one can be certain that the guy in the red circle isn't him...)

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...

Apparently the Indian government is smarter than the American government.

Why?

What are you afraid the jerks at the TSA will do?

Start handing us guys copies of ‘Hustler’ before pulling our pants down?

However, his semen tested positive for the virus.

They required him to give a semen sample?

The agency recommends abstinence from sex—including oral sex—for at least six months.

A sensible precaution. However, we are talking about people, not angels. Maybe he should be quarantined.

They mean if abstinence will not be followed... Nobody is forcing him to have sex.

What the !*%#&#>?

Are you kidding me? What fool would even dream of oral sex with someone who had Ebola in their sperm, even if they were wearing a piece of sealed PVC pipe instead of a condom? The very definition of selfish misanthrope would be someone with Ebola who would even suggest such activity!
