Do they still have airliners that dump out their toilet waste inflight ?

Will the ground crews be wearing triple thick hazmat suits while they service the plane ?

Considering that the human can eject bodily fluids almost 20 feet (sneezing, coughing), how does one keep that far away from the infected, sealed inside a metal tube ?

One posted theory here, was that the government was going to chemtrail Ebola onto the American people.

“The CDC is getting out in front of what could be a problem in the United States”
One just has to laugh at this.

Bring Out Your Dead
I've had it with these M-Fin' body fluids
on this M-Fin' plane!
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...

The only logical way to protect air travelers, US citizens, and America from the Ebola virus is golf. Fore!

If in-flight cleaning is needed, cabin crew should follow routine airline procedures using personal protective equipment available in the Universal Precautions Kit. Some airlines use anti-bacterial cleaning agents, while others simply use ordinary cleaning sprays - they're simply pushing the bacteria around without killing it. United is one of those airlines that don't use anti-bacterial spray, and they have flights and aircrews that go to Africa. Something to think about on your next flight.

Considering the time from infestion until symptoms, that cough or sneeze 2-3 weeks ago from another passenger could have been the culprit.
Yet, someone carrying a pair of nail clippers or a granny in a walker get more scrutiny.

It could be awkward, those stewards and stewardesses trying to serve drinks while wearing hazmat suits.

Umm . . . it doesn't matter whether they use anti-bacterial sprays or not, since Ebola is a virus.
