This is turning into a freakin’ nightmare. But, I am comforted by the knowledge that the disease would have spread faster in this country if Thomas Duncan had been denied entry.
“...or other body fluids...”
Like sweat. However, if one is to believe the CDC, this teacher would not be able to pass it on if she is in fact infected. Unless it was virus from the nurse and was on her clothing. Can last 6 days in some cases.
The sheeple are getting a bit antsy and are watching less Kardashians and more Ebola on their boob tube
She wasn’t even on the same flight and they are closing the whole school? Are they serious? Are the janitors going to wear Haz-Mat suits to clean the school?
Why? According to the CDC you must damn near swap spit to get it. I hope the Obola administration stops fed lunch funding for those days.
It’s all so stupid. /s
Believe me when I say this puts a major bug right up Obola’s bum.
He doesn’t care about the American people. He has an agenda that is being destroyed outside of his control.
What is far more troubling, though, is that whole facilities will be closing their doors whenever someone sneezes within a mile. With ambulance chasing lawyers always at the ready, nothing else can be really expected. The US economy (or whatever remains of it) will be further impacted by such fear. Take that teacher, for example... would you put the lives of hundreds of students at risk, even if per entirely trustworthy assurances of the CDC the probability of infection is 0.01% ?
Is this the Dem October SURPRISE?
Do you have a source for that outside of the CDC?
Ebola is going to be a drag on the economy. The cost is going to be enormous, whether the death toll is small or large.
a difference in professions....registered nurses go into battle to fight disease and they get blamed to breaking some unknown “protocol”....and teachers get to stay home and get paid for being on a plane that someone else had been in before....a cushy job but somebody’s got to enjoy it I guess...
“The cost is going to be enormous...”
All of the flight attendants (and pilots?) were put on paid leave for at least 21 days and to be watched. Same with the nurses and the doctors that were near Duncan.
That might be feasible for a few cases and can be absorbed. Not if it becomes hundreds of different events.
lmao, dfu.
The plane seats may be no problem but what about the plane’s bathrooms? Who knows what is retained on those surfaces....
I live in eastern PA. The western border of PA is the eastern border of OH. I’m staying indoors for 21 days and monitoring my temperature because I am exercising an abundance of caution and I take the safety of my neighbors very seriously.
Six degrees of separation from horrible death.
Do you think the airline knows whether she got out of her seat to use the lavatory?
