Frieden is an Ombambot, for what it’s worth.

I am furious with this. Gawd, this administration is evil for allowing this to happen.

[mware]

They have NOT made contact with all who came in contact with him.

[Polynikes]

On a side note the medical definition of airborne is not met by ebola at this time. It is more like air facilitated as in large droplets.

[txhurl]

Oh lord, released from first hospital he presented to.

One of the docs said it was the Ebola Zaire strain.

[miserare]

Good advice.

If you have a ping list for this, I imagine it will become very active not too long from now.

Please add me to it if you do have one.

I am talking about all people traveling from Africa to countries in Europe not just this particular person. Europe has much more contact with Africa the the US. British Airways stopped flying to Liberia how many weeks ago? Our government NADA. Hell, they don’t even have a back up for a major radar hub.

October surprise. National emergency.

[combat_boots]

Why do we allow people who come from Africa into the country without a medical clearance?

Do you not remember that 0bama said ebola carriers can come to the US? That ‘we’ have the facilities?

Patient was not involved in Ebola work in Africa. Spokeshole will not talk about the airline or flight back from Africa. Claims he did not get sick for 4 days after returning, so nobody on the flight was exposed.

[mylife]

Patient is critical.

[tcrlaf]

“In regard to the airline flight...”

he’s trying not to talk about that, people will panic.

You’ll note they don’t want to say WHICH flights, and where??

[Red in Blue PA]

I am sure the government has contingency plans.....for themselves.

They told us this could not happen and it happened within a month!

[PghBaldy]

Part of the problem in Africa is they apparently do not have enough protective measures for healthcare workers. We would have the same problem if we have a large amount of victims, I would think.

[dragnet2]

It’s not a problem, people like the Bush’s fly on private secured aircraft and are limo’d into their private secured compounds....

They don’t bump bellies with all the dirty stupid tax payers...

You peons just take...Get back to work....Be happy.

[mware]

Said the patient is in critical condition.
