Wanted: Ebola screeners at JFK for $19 an hour
NYPost ^ | October 18, 2014 | Jennifer Bain, Philip Messing and Danika Fears

They’re looking for the few, the proud — and the really desperate.

For a measly $19 an hour, a government contractor is offering applicants the opportunity to get up close and personal with potential Ebola patients at JFK Airport — including taking their temperatures.

Angel Staffing Inc. is hiring brave souls with basic EMT or paramedic training to assist Customs and Border Protection officers and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in identifying possible victims at Terminal 4, where amped-up Ebola screening started on Saturday.

BREAKING NEWS!

Obama has figured out how to make plane travel safe.

You just have two lines at the TSA checkpoint

One says Ebola Free and the other says Not Ebola Free

Angel Staffing appears to be an opportunist organization that feeds at the government trough by filling government jobs.

This might be the seed for the DSA (Disease Safety Agency) to partner with the TSA. I’m sure the new Ebola Czar will do his best to fatten the government payroll and find worthy donors, err, staffers like Angel Staffing to fill the ranks.

Most of the TSA screeners I have seen where obviously hired to fill race and gender quotas and didn’t seen capable of doing more than wearing the uniform and going through the motions between coffee breaks. Bad enough these are the people charged with keeping us safe from terrorists, but to trust these nitwits with keeping Ebola from our shores is ridiculous.

The Obama Administration certainly does have a Third World mentality.

SBA Disadvantaged Business... bla, bla, bla

Please call congress and tell them that we must be deadly serious about containing Ebola by strict quarantine within the United States and from infected nations. This is our right and our duty and it is THEIR duty to protect US.

Capitol switchboard is 202-224-3121 or Google your congressman or senator and get his contact information and call him / her office directly. You can also call or go to their local offices.

I believe decisive response is urgent because you can’t put this Ebola genie back in the bottle once it gets out. It is a fire, it consumes all the fuel it can get and the fuel is people. The only way to stop a fire is to block it from the fuel or cool it with water. A vaccine or medicine to treat Ebola would be the water and we don’t have reliable, enough or any.

Every possible measure must be taken to stop the spread before draconian measures are imposed. What is being done now is sloppy. We are walking a dangerous road. The threat is blossoming by the day if not hour. Almost every hour there is some new Ebola development and none of them are good. This is a serious and potentially deadly event. Unchecked it could destroy or weaken the United States and facilitate our destruction by others. It has that potential for every country and that is why so many are responding with such strict quarantines. These consequences, no matter how small the probabilities, demand a full effort and significant response.

Ebola is being spread here in the United States right now. First Texas, then Ohio then? Terror is an excellent weapon. It disrupts, confuses, paralyzes and destroys a society. Many others and we on FR have speculated that terrorists may spread Ebola. How do you that remember 9/11 feel right now compared to what you felt then? Do you want to gather your loved ones near you to protect them? I do. Even more than I did on September 11, 2001! Isn’t this passive response by this administration accomplishing the very same things a terrorist would want?
When something is being done that makes as little sense as what Obama is doing there has to be some other reason. I leave it to you dear reader to draw your own conclusions as to the reasons.
What is happening now is insane. It makes no sense at all. For example the head of CDC says: “Stopping travel from Africa won’t do any good because you have to get people into Africa to fight Ebola.” “You can’t get Ebola from an infected person on a bus but an infected person should never be on a bus because he can infect others.” “Blocking travel from infected countries would damage their fragile economies.” What about ours? What about our safety? What about resources we have paid for that should be protecting us?

Even the most despotic dictatorship in Africa has acted to protect his nation by strict quarantine and stopping travel from infected countries. Even CDC, the UN and WHO advocate and credit strict quarantine for nipping the spread of Ebola in the bud at the source in places like Senegal and Nigeria where both have had faster and more successful outbreak controls than we have had here. 35 countries have stopped travel of people from infected West African countries. It is so obvious even a child could understand it so why is it OK for people from infected countries to travel here?
I will post this message and keep posting it until someone stops me.

The salary isn’t so great, but they make up for it with the retirement plan.

Part of Obola’s job creation plan. :o/

I've been saying unemployment will go down with all the new positions as doormen and elevator operators get filled.

Let’s not forget Hollywood’s demand for gardeners, chauffers, cooks, maids, pool boys, doormen, butlers, masseuses, auto detailers, sidewalk sweepers, dog walkers, baby sitters, housekeepers and other high skilled immigrant labor jobs.

Thanks Maggie another crony Pubby capitalist.

Off subject I noticed on Fox we have 4 with Ebola, the forth person is not identified. My question is what happened to the Sheriffs deputy who was suppose to be tested 11 days ago? I have not read any story on him.

The reason I ask is if he is infected it would blow the lid off direct contact as the only way you can get it as he was never with Mr Duncan. If he is infected he destroys the narrative and thus would put huge pressure on the regime to keep secret.

I may have missed it but I know you can find out.

Thanks

Little-mentioned patient at Emory expects to be discharged ‘very soon, free from the Ebola virus’

The Ebola-stricken aid worker arrived in Atlanta from West Africa on a specially equipped “air ambulance” Sept. 9. The patient was driven from the airport to Emory University Hospital, then whisked into a state-of-the-art isolation and treatment facility.

The hospital declined to release any further information, citing confidentiality policies. There was no mention of where or how this person had become infected, or who this person was working with in West Africa, or where the patient was from. The patient has never been identified publicly.

Emory also remained tight-lipped about how the patient was doing, declining for five weeks to provide any updates.
