God help us.
What are you worried about? After-all, the clown show that is and has been Obola’s administration has been extremely competent, honest and transparent so far.
ANYTHING this government says, purports or sponsors is a lie. WHY can’t everyone understand?
Of course the CDC is lying for as a general rule no government principal or agent in 2014 A.D. can tell the truth. They are born to lie, they live and love the lie. They even lie to themselves.
He should carry one of these... Plush stuffed ebola toy: http://m.ebay.com/itm?itemId=381008562684
This brave Doc has got huevos the size of Liberia. He should expect a surprise HIIPA inspection, CMS audit for the last 5 years of billings, OSHA inspection, formal complaint from his state medical board and an IRS audit.
Wish I was joking but these all will come to pass.
I would like to think someone walking into an airport dressed like that would get some additional scrutiny...
My kind of guy.

I am starting to see some signs of self preservation out there.
I wonder if those parents are still withholding their kids from school in Dallas. I hope so.
Once symptoms appear, the virus is reported by CDC to be contagious. Each sneeze (not a primary symptom, but it happens) potentially contains droplets with enough virus to infect another person. Each drop of blood or whatever that oozes from wherever can kill.
Well before symptoms appear, there are only a few dozen, a few hundred, or a few tens of thousands of viruses in the entire body, and the risk from contact with a few droplets is quite low.
What about the transition period? Is CDC simplifying too much when they don’t mention any risk in the hours before symptoms appear, when the infection has spread enough that it is about to trigger fever? Of is Ebola still relatively safe right up to the start of the fever and maybe a bit after that? I’m a skeptic and suspect it’s more of a statistical thing, where the risk in lower before the fever starts but still significant in the last day or at least the last hours of apparent health.

We need more truth-tellers like this doctor!
This Dr. was just on Fox News with Neil Cavuto. He makes a lot of sense. As more and more of the 3rd world countries get overrun by this disease, there will be more and more people on flights coming into America, and he doesn’t feel that we are ready.
He just arrived from and International flight, and he said there was zero screening of any kind for disease. The only question he was asked was whether he had any tobacco or alcohol.
He feels that screening procedures should be implemented for flights, and fever centers set up for screening and triage of individuals with out exposing all other sick people to who knows what.
That’s all I can remember, but there was more.

Eeeee-bolllll-aaaaaa ping!
Bring Out Your Dead
Were gonna need
a bigger cart!
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...
Good for him!!! I agree.
