Ping for later...
Just think no one ever SWEATS, coughs, or exhales water vapor on a flight, like ever...
How when incubation period is 2-21 days does this VISITOR arrive on 20th, then check in on 26th.
Seems like maybe he knew and came for treatment.
When was Visa issued, does he need one?
How can they say there is only a “handful” of contacts when the guy was in the ER and sent home??? Been in an ER lately? How do they even know the identities of everyone in the ER the first time the guy showed up?
I’m putting my plan into effect. The 72 hour clock starts now.
3 day prior to the whit house breach
We’re suppose to trust this guy?
ATLANTA — Dr. Thomas R. Frieden, the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, spent much of Wednesday completing a report that would let the public see, in embarrassing detail, how the sloppy handling of anthrax by scientists at its headquarters here had potentially exposed dozens of employees to the deadly bacteria.
But just as he was sitting down for a late-afternoon lunch at his Washington, D.C., office, an urgent call came in. There had been another accident, this one just as disturbing, if not more so — and no one in the agency’s top leadership had been informed about it until that Monday, though the C.D.C.’s lab had been told about it more than a month earlier.
C.D.C. workers had somehow shipped a dangerous strain of avian influenza to a poultry research lab run by the Department of Agriculture. Known as H5N1, the virus had killed more than half of the 650 people who had been infected with it since 2003.

“I was, just frankly, stunned and appalled,” Dr. Frieden said in an interview Saturday.
Thanks (I think).
“Only when symptomatic are you contagious. Blood from nose, rash, vomit. Read about it.”
Nope
There have been many reports of asymptomatic patients infecting others.
That doesn't seem to be the case based on data from across the pond, although the infectious stage probably starts quite close to the symptomatic stage.
And Obie was visiting CDC about Ebola when it happened.
Not the problem. People can go from Liberia or Sierra Leone to Morocco then to France and onward to anywhere of course.
The only way to contain this or anything else is to shut down all flights from Africa and even that does not totally stop it.
This is why they have been so fearful of a modern pandemic. Because of modern transportation it can spread like wild fire. Especially if it happens to be airborne like the 1918 flu was.
Not what I read (has to be moist).
Agreed. And how long did he ignore the symptoms, thinking that he just had bad jet lag?
another bookmark ... am going for a break and shower for certain this time.
Note to self: But more bleach
This is exactly what will happen all over America. It LOOKS like the flu or a bad cold at first.
Washington DC
Just as in ‘hide the decline’ with global warming nuts, open borders Congresscrittrs will insure the CDC withholds the truth via the threat of loss of ‘free’ money from Congress if they don’t toe the party line and help ensure future democrat voters .
Imagine Obamacare costs with Ebola added to the mix-your death panel awaits.
have they tracked down everyone on the flight(s) he took? Airplane air is a cesspoole and the bathrooms not the most sanitary.
He is not an American. He is here to visit this scourge upo....oops, I meant to visit family. It is already established he is not a US citizen.
