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.

Comment:
I wonder what the stock market will do tomorrow?
Oh, yes.
We are so much better than *those* people in West Africa because we have the best health care in the world—and the CDC! Why, if we were ever to get a case of Ebola here, we would stop it in its tracks! One and done!
I’m pretty sure that Ebola didn’t read that script. What a mess.
