Scouter's Ebola Projection Update - 10/4/2014 - (Vanity)

To: Vendome; scouter My wife just flew into Newark from Brussels. Been waiting on the plane for 1 1/2 hours now to deplane. Medical emergency onboard with a passenger vomiting.

They have to wait for the CDC to come interview the person before they can leave.

Consider travel plans carefully.

Horrible.

[AAABEST]

That interview point out what a clusterf*** this is turning out to be.

Fed.gov is completely incompetent and hasn't a clue on how to handle this.

Both patients released for self-monitoring; one exhibited symptoms of an ‘easily-treatable’ disease.

Prayers for your wife and family

Ok, Texas size hurls on a plane would surely be trouble. /gallowshumor

[onona]

Got the wive home now. As you may have assumed, the situation was a true cluster eff.

Plane full of Liberians, many unaccompanied minors. Basically, they are fleeing their country to get here, sick OR well.

She was sitting about 6 rows in front of the guy, and the smell was quite evident from the sick.

CDC; Customs; they had NO PLAN.

Customs just kept telling everyone that directions were coming directly from the White House (now don't that make you all warm and fuzzy ?)

People had already gotten through customs when the started a panic announcement to all Customs agents NOT to process anyone from this flight.

The patient is still not cleared as free from Ebola.

They took names and numbers, and sent all the other passengers on their way.

Again, thanks for all your kind thoughts and prayers. I guess time will tell now !

There is no way anyone from the infected countries in West Africa should be allowed to travel, period.

Bttt

[fatima]

((((Hugs)))))Give her a glass of wine.

[Cementjungle]

Thank you for the update. We'll all pray that this was just a false alarm.

It does however, show that there's plenty of potential for the situation to get way out of control.

[txhurl]

Thanks for your reporting and thank GOD Mrs. Onona is in the clear!

FNC just reported that both passengers were released for self-monitoring.

[fatima]

Did he throw up at his seat or in the back of the plane.Maybe she doesn’t know.

[Georgia Girl 2]

I am not shocked that Liberians are fleeing to the US. Its our responsibility to stop them from coming. I pray to God your wife is safe and was not exposed.

[SaraJohnson]

Thanks for the update. What a dang mess.

[abb]

Suggest you contact local TV or newspaper and tell your story. Public pressure is the ONLY thing that will force action.

[Cold Heat]

Well....so it’s nothing....

I have had occasionally that symptom he spoke of with the eyes..I never went to a doctor about it. It has not happened again on over a year, but it scares the heck out of you.

You feel disoriented, you cannot focus your vision and it feel like your eyes are not coordinated..

[txhurl]

I’m curious what Mrs. Onona’s comments on that guy upthread who interviewed with CNN will be, once she gets rested.

[SkyPilot]

Prayers!

[null and void]

Prayers continue.
