“I was visiting Uganda .. where I’m adopting two special needs kids. So we stayed at a hotel the other night and I think it left friends on my body. My son, who’s four and a half, had pustules on him” Bedbugs?

Those surgical masks also make a great fashion statement...

Aviation officials in Chicago say... the CDC is handling it.

Seems pretty obvious folks; Avian Flu.

[ErnBatavia]

I remember in the semi-old days when you’d fly to Australia and New Zealand (and also the stop in Tahiti) when the plane landed, Immigration would board and do the “Baptismal Shower”.....walk down the aisle with aerosol disinfectant spritzing their way through the plane.

Don’t move to DC... that place is full of those Copper Headed Water Rattlers... and they are baaaaaad!

What about the potential for every communicable disease and virus carried by every illegal that crosses our southern border.

There have been hints that several diseases, once eradicated in this country have been re-introduced into this country.

[Jack Hydrazine]

Here are some funny ones.

[jazusamo]

You're correct, I've read the same things. It also doesn't help that a fair number of parents now opt their kids out of vaccinations for diseases these illegals bring here with them.

[Borax Queen]

I hope they sanitize those airplane seats. Really, all of them, if it is bedbugs, which apparently ARE now spreading into places like airplanes.

[Mygirlsmom]

I perdict that we’re all gonna die!

True that, but it's definitely not something I want the government involved in!

[jazusamo]

LOL! How would you like your dentist wearing one of those? I'd tell mine the treatment has to be free if I have to look in her mouth too. :-)

Mad Cow and now this. Someone is playing games.

Delta passengers quarantined following medical scare (which turned out to be bug bites

Snip: According CBS Chicago, the rash was ultimately determined to be the result of bug bites, but only after the plane was surrounded by Chicago fire department trucks on the tarmac at Midway airport.

Maybe bed bugs? Hope they get a good exterminator to go over that plane. (I’m getting *itchy*.)

[TBall]

I wonder if it was an undercover air marshal who took the pictures and sent them to the CDC? My imagination races over stuff like this.

[muawiyah]

Those were probably distractions created by one TSA agent to provide cover for another agent stealing something from another passenger.

There are no limits to what professional thieves will attempt.

[redlegplanner]

given the report of “sores”, ebola concern would be my bet....

pandemic flu just makes you turn purple and projectile vomit blood.

“Complacency - and especially that brand of complacency that finds it satisfying to sneer at the vigilant and prepared - is the true enemy.....”

Surely thou art not claiming TSAPersons are either vigilant or prepared for anything other than groping and stealing?

[KittenClaws]

Maybe bed bugs? Hope they get a good exterminator to go over that plane. (I’m getting *itchy*.)

Q1. Do bedbugs create “postules”?

Q2. Would the government tell us the truth if it thought it would create panic?

A1. No.

A2. No.

Doubtful that it’s Ebola....she’d be dead by now but there are strains of Ebola in nearby Cote d’Ivoire and Sudan.
