Homeland Security Not Screening New Arrivals For Zika Virus (What could possibly go Wrong?)
BreitBart ^ | 02-14-2016 | Edwin Mora

“Based on our current understanding of the virus, enhanced public health entry screening for Zika would not be effective because most people who are infected with Zika are asymptomatic and therefore could not be identified during the screening process,” said DHS in a statement. “Accordingly, CDC is not conducting, or recommending that CBP conduct, enhanced entry screening for Zika, such as active symptom monitoring and temperature checks at ports of entry for arriving travelers. CDC and CBP will continue to coordinate on appropriate measures.”

Some health officials estimate that up to 80 percent of the people with Zika do not show any symptoms. Currently, there is no preventing drug or vaccine to combat the virus.

In the old days, immigrants were stopped before entering the US, and made to go through quarantine. They had to have skills needed by the nation at that time, and could not be mentally deficient or have a host of other disqualifications.

We honestly don't need one more thing to help bring down our national IQ. We're doing just fine doing that by ourselves. On an unrelated topic, let's all remember to lift up Kanye West tonight in prayer.

Tiny heads will be all the rage in the fashion shows now. Giant butts and tiny heads. Welcome refugees.

Obola and the elites permissive immigration policies couldn’t possibly contribute toward the spread of these diseases worldwide.
Right?

On yet another unrelated topic, Drudge has a story about the elite doubling their security. I honestly don’t know why. Actually I do.

Has anyone read whether, once infected, you are ever able to safely have children? In other words, does the virus or its adverse effects ever leave or become safely dormant in the infected body? Since the virus is transmitted in bodily fluids, this issue affects both men and women. From what I have read, the experts insinuate that once infected a man is not aways infectious, but I wonder if the virus can reappear spontaneously at time like the various herpes strains.

I've been wondering the same. Not sure the authorities know.

I’ve asked this same question and no one knows. If this disease becomes standard, and we’re all infected, like in “The Walking Dead,” our civilization is done.

The disease is not about immigrants. Anyone who goes to an infected area, like on a cruise to the Caribbean, can get it. All it takes is being bitten by a mosquito. ItS wrong to blame this on immigration.

When you come across the border, if, in the 2% chance they are actually interviewed, they are asked for their fake name and told where to pick up benefits. You’re right- that’s a good idea.
