How does one contract Ebola from their neck? Isn’t that the excuse we have been given, that these two nurses in Dallas got it because their neck was exposed? But then the Islamic caliphate posing as our POTUS administration said it can only be contracted through bodily fluids, so what does this mean? That these nurses picked up Duncans vomit and rubbed it on an open wound on their neck?

I agree. Thanks for the "brakes." I have given contributions to Doctors Without Borders, over time.

This one nurse - she makes the rest of the organization look very bad.

It feels like there is political manipulation going on here, in order to nail Governor Christie, when he is trying to protect the lives of citizens from a highly communicable fatal disease.

If the nurse in question wanted to be constructive, she could advise the NJ Governor on how to set up appropriate facilities instead of filing a frigging law suit and crying about a decision SHE originally made - going to West Africa.

I would BEG to be quarantined if I thought there was the remotest chance that I might pass on a deadly disease to other people, and I’ll bet everybody reading this would do the same.

We quarantined TB patients in the days when there was no cure, and we nearly eradicated that disease in the US until we stopped assaying the health of would-be immigrants.

Sure would be lot of people alive today if the first AIDS carriers had been turned away from our country or quarantined indefinitely. Cruel? Not if you were a hemophiliac. Not if you lost a large volume of blood in a accident or as a result of a surgical procedure. Not if you needed blood for any reason.

Doctors Without Borders? Two kinds: sacrificial (can’t say enough good about them) and showboats.

Why did Obama declare Flounder to be the Ebola Czar?

RE: If I visit Guatemala and want to bring back a stray dog, it has to spend six weeks in isolation quarantine in order to prevent any diseases from entering the US.

Personally, I think quarantining is for its part, good science.

I ran into an old alumni friend of mine, a surgeon. I respect his medical opinion. He says quarantining makes good sense. As for Ebola being airborne, he says, "Just wait until flu season." If someone gets the flu, or even a cold, who also gets ebola, it's effectively airborne, regardless of the exact CDC/biowarfare definition. Sure, it's not airborne like weaponized nanoparticles of anthrax, or smallpox, but it's airborne "enough."

Yup. “Science tells us”. Could be nuclear physics, could be microbiology, could be organic chemistry, it’s all “science”, and it TALKS!

The more we hear the “don't worry, all is well” nonsense from CDC and NIH (and other Obama propagandists including the MSM), the more thinking people are getting uneasy. The public is realizing the so-called “experts” don't know what they are talking about and their credibility is declining on a near daily basis. States and local hospitals need to take the lead here because the feds are incompetent.

"DOGS DON’T SUE."

However, my dog came from Mexico in 1999. She's been getting her revenge for her detention ever since.

We have an Ebola czar? Has anyone seen him since the day he was appointed?

The Papers are asking the same question:

A sense of chaos infects our Ebola response. Anybody know where exactly the ‘czar’ might be?

So the govt. is saying that if I’m a cattle rancher, I shouldn’t keep my cattle in a pen because that makes it harder to keep them together and control them, one might get out, etc. However, if I remove the fences, I have a much better chance of keeping them together and intact.

Wow, I guess common sense has been wrong all these years. Who knew?

I am sick and tired of hearing people throw around “science” as means of cutting off discussion or debate. These people have no awareness of just how stupid it makes them sound. I swear they sound like extras from idiocracy. “uhh....I science....do you science?” “Yeah....I science too...” “ Uhh....good...you smart too...you can talk to me.”

Or they are simply overconfident despite the levels of uncertainty.

Wow, and that makes perfect sense. Flu or cold on top of Øbola and it is effectively weaponized.

Quarantine is seen as a bad idea and welcomed by the head rat and his mob because it allows ebola to be given a fair chance to succeed. Can anyone out there dispute his intentions?
