Yes, unless they were to use sodium hypochlorite, or very high proof alcohol or a few other agents, little point to the cleaning if Ebola virus is dispersed except for the cosmetic value.

I have allegories and when they are bad, I cough and sneeze a lot. Flying with this mob in power would be an ordeal.

A foreign substance is injected into the precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual.

‘The CDC is getting out in front of what could be a problem in the United States if somebody with the virus slips through security checkpoints overseas and arrives in America.’

Hey CDC. There are no security checkpoints on 90% of our Southern border and we border some of the poorest and worst cases of medical care on the planet. Not too hard for ISIS to book an infected person into Mexico City, get on a bus to Nuevo Laredo, walk five miles outside the city and cross directly over the border unseen and unstopped. Two days and a bus ride later he is coughing up a storm in the faces of millions of New York City commuters.

Yes. I’d say about 20 feet. Any virus ejected from say a sneeze could travel at least 10 feet and then float in the air for another ten feet before coming to rest, where it could ‘survive’ for probably four hours.

Exactly what type of cleaner do they use on the cloth seats?

They would probably have to steam clean the cloth seats. Most airplanes are lucky if the seats get cleaned once a month. I think the passengers are the ones who should be wearing the haz-mat suits. Airplanes are basically huge petri dishes.

My allergies have just kicked in this season. Does this mean that mere nasal drip is enough to be kicked off a flight now?

I’d better get an Islamist robe so that I am exempt from such protocol.

Why are we permitting travel visas for people from Eboland?

“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 ?”

Yet we let people with AIDS walk amoung us...

“Treat all body fluids as though they are infectious,”

There’s a Jack T. Ripper joke in there somewhere, but I’m too skeeved out to think of one at the moment.

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

...or, on the end of a 10-foot pole...

But there’s nothing to worry about. Just keep importing millions of illegal third world invaders because it’s good for the economy. Obama has it all under control.
