bring out your dead _____ France during the plague
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
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?
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.
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.
Of course, if Vinson sneezed during the flight, that could be problematic. (Ya think?)

With a transmission rate of 2 and a one-month transmission time, there would be 2 active Ebola cases at the end of the first month, assuming the index case either died or survived with immunity. In two months there would be 4 cases, in three months 8 cases, in four months 16 cases, in six months 64 cases, in nine months 512 cases, in one year 4,096 cases, and in two years 16,777,216 cases. If cases emerge after three weeks instead of four weeks, the numbers are much worse. If healthcare workers die off early in the Ebola epidemic, as one would expect with no vaccination and inadequate protection, then the transmission rate would increase from 2 to who knows how high, also leading to much higher case numbers.
from several articles above this one...nice - just nice...right before election time in NOV...what, Democrats afraid of voters going to the polls?
So how are the Benghazi and IRS scandal investigations coming along?
It is comforting to me to know that common sense is present in the community where a person is known to have been exposed. Schools closed, teacher seems to be quarantined. This is how lethal infectious diseases are handled. Wish the fedzilla government would shut down travel from the infected countries.

““Solon Middle School and Parkside Elementary School will be closed tomorrow, Thursday, October 16, as a precaution.
How does closing for one day make any difference?
That’s a little over the top. Send them home. Lock the doors. But they, under no one’s calculations, would be contagious yet.
Closing the school(s) is going to cause some panic.
Did anyone else catch this near the bottom of the article?
***Meanwhile, the Cleveland Metropolitan School District confirmed that it was made aware that a teacher who works at Cranwood School may have come into contact with a person diagnosed with Ebola virus. City Health Officials have assured officials that students, staff, and families were not at risk, but CMSD has taken several precautions to ease any concerns about safety at the school. Overnight, the school is being cleaned with a bleach-based cleaning solution in accordance with the guidelines provided by the CDC.
The teacher is at home and will remain at home until cleared by health officials to return to work. CMSD insists that the measures taken at Cranwood were strictly precautionary.***
Who is the person with Ebola that the teacher came into contact with? Is it the traveling nurse or someone else? A clarification would be nice, but I guess that’s too much to ask of journalists these days.
