Modelers predict rapidly rising Ebola Toll ...

“Not surprising. A quarantine offers those in it a stark choice, stay and die, run and live”.
No - Not really... It means stay here be observed and we can begin treatment as soon as you show any symptoms - giving you a head start in the treatment process. And by staying here you do not expose others to Ebola... If you don’t show any symptoms after about 25 days so - you and feel relieved and go on about your life - knowing you dodged a bullet this time.
Ahhhh, the difference in perception from being locked inside surrounded by the sick and dying looking out vs being outside in relative safety looking in!
BTW, an outbreak isn’t declared over until a 42 day period (two full incubation periods) passes with no new reported cases.
Wellllllllll, "we" did vote obama into the presidency twice.
How stupid are "we"?
Your perception of a quarantine is different from mine ... Your vision seems to be a big compound with hoards of the living dead.
You talking OUTBREAK ... an I would agree with that but not an individual case ... max incubation period is under 25 days. If not re-exposed and re-exposed
Read this please ... where isolation and quarantine has been shown to work...
Also a person who has the Ebola virus inside their body but not showing symptoms — as you well know - cannot run away from the disease just because the idea of a quarantine is unpleasant ... run away and die is the outcome.
Thanks for the ping!
Airport Security Gaffe Couldn’t Have Made It Any Easier For Ebola To Enter America
CNN’s Senior Medical Correspondent Elizabeth Cohen told Robin Meade on HLN’s Morning Express with Robin Meade that she and her two colleagues were not asked a lot of questions when they returned from Liberia while covering the Ebola crisis.
“I expected that they were going to take my temperature, they were going to ask me lots of questions, but they didn’t.
“I said, ‘I’m a journalist, I’ve come back from Liberia, I was covering Ebola.’ And the gentleman who was helping me, the officer, he started to hand my passport back and say, ‘Welcome home,’ but instead he said, ‘Oh wait a second, I got an email about passengers like you, hold on a second.’
“And he went and conferred with someone and he didn’t know, and they conferred with someone else and in the end he said, ‘You need to watch yourself for signs of Ebola.’ And I said, ‘Well, what am I watching for?’ And he couldn’t tell me.
“Now, as if that weren’t bad enough Robin, I was traveling with two colleagues, a photojournalist and a producer, and they weren’t told anything. And they also said that they were journalists who’d been covering Ebola.
“So we were all kind of shocked and pretty horrified at the lack of screening in U.S. airports, but you know, as we’ve been talking about, that may be changing, they may be doing more to screen passengers who are coming in from west Africa.”

What can you do to force stoppage of bringing West Africans from the Ebola Hotspots into America — to stop the government from issuing visas to Ebola Hotspot residents ... to stop airlines from flying Ebola Hotspot Residents into the U.S. ?
- Incessantly call/fax/email the corporate headquarters all major International Airlines and tell them point blank that unless they stop transporting residents of West African Ebola Hotspot Residents to America - you will work with an effort to BLACKLIST them along with the efforts of millions of other Americans .. And will contribute to any legal fund to help file lawsuits against them for endangering the American public.
- Incessantly call/fax/email all politicians running for national office - 33 Senate seats up for bid and a large number of House seats... For the Democrats - ridicule them for being obama’s lackeys, lampoon their being dominated by obama’s insane policy of continuing to allow West African Ebola Hotspot Residents into America. Demand of all politicians running for office and those that are not this term... demand that they take definitive action to force the CDC, the State Department and Immigration to cease issuing Visas to Ebola Hotspot Residents... The CDC can issue health advisories insisting that travel by Ebola Hotspot Residents is dangerous to American.
