• 8:34 p.m. EST: Dallas to declare citywide disaster. Dallas County Commissioners plan to declare a disaster Thursday over “the potential for widespread or severe damage, injury, loss or threat of life resulting from the Ebola virus,” Dallas’s local NBC affiliate reported. As part of the declaration, the city may restrict travel for health care workers who may have cared for the first Ebola patient.

Now they are closing schools in Ohio over Case #3’s Airline travel Ebola exposure.

From the PFIF, including the comment which I wish I had thought of first—

Two schools in the Solon School District in suburban Cleveland are closed Thursday as a precaution because a staffer “traveled home from Dallas on Frontier Airlines Tuesday on a different flight, but perhaps the same aircraft,” as Vinson, the school district said in a statement. Shocked

“Although we believe what the science community and public health officials are telling us about the low risk of possible transmission of the virus through indirect contact, {I should have said “riiiggght. You don’t believe them either, huh?”} we are nonetheless taking the unusual step of closing the dual school building for Thursday so that we can have the schools cleaned and disinfected,” the district posted on Facebook.

Montgomery County, bedroom suburb of Washington, DC, stricken with terminal PC felt it necessary to proudly announce they would no longer mention nor name hospitalized suspect EVD cases due to the diversity of the local population which maybe, could be, probably would feel stigmatized by such revelations.

Memento mori liberal scum.

"As part of the declaration, the city may restrict travel for health care workers who may have cared for the first Ebola patient."

Followed by travel restrictions on persons living in the affected area, i.e., you, your wife and your children.
