Hmmm, our local tv station just aired “a weekly test of the emergency broadcast system.” Weekly? I haven’t seen one of those for years. Must be just a coincidence, huh?
On a brighter note, maybe this will keep his sorry butt out of Texas.

Wondering that also.
Did anyone ever figure out why all those research scientists who specialized in biochem warfare/virology/bacteriology suffered an untimely and unexpected demise? At the time, just about everyone suspected they were being killed because of their detailed knowledge.
You mean that red band of counties at the top of the screen? Been going on a couple months, Sundays.
I always thought it was weather or abductions since by the time you notice the red crawler, you’ve missed what the alert is about and are just reading all the counties in the Austin/SanAntonio viewing area.
According to this Reuters article (http://preview.msn.com/en-us/news/us/first-ebola-case-diagnosed-in-the-united-states-cdc/ar-BB6EA9s ), he’s not likely a US citizen. Which begs the question of how he was exposed and why he traveled after a known exposure.
Travel restrictions in to/out of affected regions should have been imposed months ago until this was under control as clearly not all people can be trusted to do the right thing.
Last week I was at the local hospital with my daughter, she was in for some surgery on her shoulder and leg. So we're in a pre-op room with several other patients on gurneys awaiting surgery, and doctors and nurses. Doctor comes up to shake my hand, and I offered a fist bump instead. Laughed at how some of my relatives are now in the habit of fist bumping to avoid catching germs. I'm just surprised at how they're so lax in hand contact in a surgical setting. True it was a pre-op room, but lots of unknown people coming in and out is an easy way to spread germs.
Sure was lucky for the ratings that ABC had the Gates interview all ready for broadcast just as this ebola story broke...
Once word got around that those two American doctors were brought here and survived, it became inevitable that other infected people, who had the means, would come. And, will continue to come. Everybody wants to live.
8:00pm Easter WMAL/ABC identified him as American citizen in their lead sentence of radio broadcast.
CDC webcast plead “patient confidentiality” in stonewalling all other info.
If they're like other liberal elite organizations it means he's black.
From Conservative Treehouse
“Something strange happened this weekend. I moved to Cedar Rapids Iowa about a year ago and we have a very small airport. Saturday I was downtown at the hotel bar and there were a bunch of people from Dallas stuck in Cedar Rapids. They said it was because of the Chicago fire but I couldn’t figure out why they would end up here??? They were telling me stories of how no matter what they did they couldn’t fly to Dallas. One lady told me she was able to fly to Minneapolis in hopes of maybe getting to Dallas but when she got there, no flights to Dallas. Another lady drove to Des Moines in hopes of catching a flight to Dallas but after 10 hours at the airport there, she turned around and went back to Cedar Rapids. These people had no intention of going to Cedar Rapids, and it seems strange they would end up here as it’s such a small airport. It’s my understanding many more folks that could not afford a hotel that were on their way to Dallas were stuck at the Cedar Rapids airport. According to the folks I talked to, most were headed to Dallas and most had flights that did not go through Chicago.”
Did they discuss what field he worked in? Oil? Health? Construction?
No, the radio broadcast hourly news segment just had 3 or 4 sentences.
No excuses which we're bound to respect.
No, talking about the full screen program interuption with the buzzing noise and the announcer saying to tune to channel 10 in an emergency. You know, like we had when we were kids. The brought them back a few years ago after something bad happened. Don’t remember what it was. But haven’t seen one for a very long time but right after the evening news, here it was.
Hmmm.
I'm guessing Health or Missionary...
