A plane from Nigeria landed at JFK Airport Thursday with a male passenger aboard who had died during the flight after a fit of vomiting — and CDC officials conducted a “cursory” exam before announcing there was no Ebola and turning the corpse over to Port Authority cops to remove, Rep. Peter King said on Thursday.
The congressman was so alarmed by the incident — and by what he and employees see as troubling Ebola vulnerabilities at JFK — that he fired off a letter to the federal Department of Homeland Security demanding more training and tougher protocols for handling possible cases there.
The unnamed, 63-year-old passenger had boarded an Arik Air plane out of Lagos, Nigeria, on Wednesday night, a federal law enforcement source said.
During the flight, the man had been vomiting in his seat, the source said. Some time before the plane landed, he passed away. Flight crew contacted the CDC, federal customs officials and Port Authority police, who all boarded the plane at around 6 a.m. as about 145 worried passengers remained on board, the source said.

Cursory EXAM. Not blood test.
If it takes hold in the inner city, it will go gay very soon thereafter.
They think it’s ebola free. Don’t think it has been declared so yet.

I'll wait for my Nigerian government lawyer to confirm that, while he/she/it is working on the 2.7 million dollars some stranger willed me from his estate...I have no idea how I became so popular among so many wealthy Nigerians.
I think every plane that leaves the ground should not be allowed to land for 21 days.
Uganda.
Malaria is a big killer in Africa. Without treatment, it can kill in days.
I was hoping no one would notice.
Nope, more disgusting pix. Not funny. Puking is NOT funny, guys. It’s vile and ugly.
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
Ah, maybe that’s why MH 370 never showed up.
