Now you know why the CDC says it’s not contagious and not likely to be a significant public health issue for the USA.
The law states that the disease should be of Public Health Significance. So they can avoid the law by simply stating that it’s not significant./s
I don’t think that’s actually sarcasm. I think that’s exactly what is going on, and exactly the legal reasons being used.
Also, they’re saying that a person doesn’t have the disease until they show symptoms. What is they show symptoms in the middle of a 17-hour flight? Dump them in the ocean, along with everybody who came in contact with them?
