Our government is in charge.
What could go wrong?
The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, ‘I'm from the government and I'm here to help ...
The 6:00 PM news here in Maine showed the private medical jet carrying Dr. Brantly landing at Bangor International Airport earlier today (Saturday). I imagine the plane needed to be refueled before continuing on to Atlanta.
Some people did get off the plane to retrieve supplies, but these people, in hazmat-type suits, never left the tarmac area adjacent to the jet (according to the local TV news).
Ebola incubation period can be up to 20 days. People who come in here with it may not even know they have it.....10 days later, they collapse.
Also, the virus is spread through coughing, sneezing, etc.....just like an influenza virus. Wipe your grocery cart handles because ebola virus can live on surfaces for several hours.
I honestly believe the CDC is not being forthcoming because they don’t want mass hysteria.
The doctor stands a better chance over here but here’s the problem:
The disease is passed along through the fluids and that means the urine and feces.
So how do you handle and dispose of the urine and feces safely and where do you put it.
If this spreads, the CDC, Emory U, and Samaritan’s Purse will catch hell for this stupid decision.
Ebola? And they brought him back HERE???
WHAT - THE - F?????
The fool made a personal decision to expose himself and his colleagues to a deadly virus that has a 90 percent mortality rate ... OK, that is his choice ... But he should accept the consequences of his “Christian charity” ... and not put at risk an entire continent to exposure of something that none of its population has even the slightest immunity to.
I am so sick of these “compassion” pimps. If this doctor had the guts to go into the “hot zone” of some stinking African hell hole, where bestiality and and homosexual sodomy are rampant, then he should have the guts to remain there and face the consequences. Tough luck, pal ... you knew the risk, and you chose to go anyway. The rest of us did not volunteer to become “martyrs” for your misinformed ideas of “charity.”
