ORLANDO -- A passenger who became ill with Ebola like symptoms on a flight from Houston to Orlando was isolated and removed from the plane Monday.
Orlando International Airport officials said the passenger was on Southwest Airlines flight #718 and became ill. The flight crew spoke with the passenger who told them he had traveled to West Africa at the end of August....

Poorly written article, if the passenger had last been in West Africa during the end of August, that’s way beyond any 21 day window.

But when did he return?
Just one more reason of many why you couldn’t force me onto an airplane if your life depended on it! When I did fly years ago, I picked up a cold nearly every time I flew.
It doesn’t say. It just says he was last in West Africa at the end of August. That implies he went elsewhere before going the Florida.
I hadn’t heard about the quick CDC approval to return to work. Then I read about it here. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2782694/Ebola-victim-s-stepdaughter-took-hospital-vomiting-wildly-given-clear-return-work-nursing-assitant.html
What’s up with the CDC? Are they trying to make this spread? She was in the ambulance with him! I’m so mad now, I could spit!
So much Ebola. Doctors Without Borders announces Norwegian woman has Ebola.

Maybe he brought some bats back with him, for snacks or something.....
Flew from Houston, eh? I wonder if anyone’s keep track of the infection tracks. I would be willing to be that a majority of infections come from major international flight hubs (i.e. NYC, LA, Miami, Atlanta) and from border states (i.e. Texas, Arizona, California). If a majority of cases are starting in border states, it’s probably a safe bet that Obama’s experiment in open borders is the reason.
Let this and all of this administration’s previous missteps be heavy stones around their necks that will bring them to their knees in shackles very soon.
He doesn’t believe in ebola, doesn’t read cursive, and doesn’t believe in September,...just skips it straight out,...not to worry.
I flew out of Houston (Hobby, on Southwest) this past Friday, and will be flying back in this Friday.
I am not overjoyed by this, at all.
Not. At. All.
....”the passenger who told them he had traveled to West Africa at the end of August....”.....
And apparently that didn’t mean a thing. I’m beginning to think air lines are letting these people through because they don’t want to deal with them at airports.
So, he traveled TO West Africa the end of August. How long did he stay?
No , if he was going to Disney World,
he would be headed towards the White Hut
..and looking for "Goofy" !
I’m close to having a phobia about flying but forced myself to do it a couple times especially when I got to go to Europe. I know it’s safer excepting contagion and TSA groping, a few other factors, but I love car trips where you can go at your own pace but statistically it isn’t nearly as safe as flying and I don’t feel as safe as I once did on interstates and freeways, too clogged with bad drivers and huge semis. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do and hope for the best.
Too long. Not ebola.
Question: "Do people from West Africa hang with others that have come, (posibly just come,) from West Africa?
