Two health workers at a hospital in Orlando, Florida, who were exposed to a patient with Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) have begun showing flu-like symptoms, and one of the two has been hospitalized.
Officials at the Dr. P. Phillips Hospital said on Tuesday the two healthcare workers were exposed to the patient - the second confirmed case of MERS on U.S. soil - in the emergency department before it became clear that he might be infected with the virus, which is often deadly.
The second healthcare worker is being isolated in his home and watched for signs of infection.

Dr. Dietz: All right, now, you listen up! I'm not responsible for you being here, or for the dead people in your home town. Neither is Denninger, or the nurses who come in to take your blood pressure.
Stu Redman: Then who is?
Dr. Dietz: No one. Everyone. God. Who knows?

The idiot who came to the U.S. infected with MERS is from Saudi Arabia. Figures.

Imagine what would happen to our healthcare system if just 1% on 320 million Americans became ill.
I think it is appalling that the Obama administration has not addressed this. They should not be allowing anyone into the US unless they were quarantined for a few weeks before travel.
I believe they WANT people to catch this and die. Mainly because there is no excuse to allow travel to the US with this virus.
Nothing to see here, it’s just a political stunt.
Even if there’s something to it, we have Obama Care.

No, actually, they're not.
Most likely camel humping.
And a, what, third infected die?
Imagine what will become of the cities.
Hey, if I were a conspiracy theorist nut, I'd say, "now that would be a great thing to blame an impending economic collapse on". But, I am not.

This administration will solve the problem by letting millions more come to this country from the middle east, to get free health care, paid for by us suckers.
T.B., Polio, Whooping Cough and other infections and diseases are showing up again in the USA too.
We need another Ellis Island but the liberals would be aghast.
