We have nothing to fear but fear itself. And Ebola.

United Airlines Trying to Contact Passengers
Note to self ... do not fly United for at least 21 days. You just never know where those planes have been.

Here's a LINK to the article without paying. I've discovered that if you copy the headline and paste into Google, you are transported to the exact article behind the paywall. Works about 5 times in a row, then you have to cleanse the cache.

Ooooops, have to stay within GOOGLE LINK.

Thanks!

BTW, yesterday the head of the CDC said there is “zero risk of transmission” of Ebola on a commercial airline flight that a Dallas patient who has tested positive for the disease flew on from Liberia earlier this month.

they finally wrestled it through legal and decided they have to so as to avoid even worse liability. Practically speaking they have no real liability if they are honest but someone will sue anyway.

I’m not sure what else to read into this.

[bluecollarman]

Just want to throw this out there.

WHO fact sheet on Ebola haemorrhagic fever: The disease can still transmit the virus through semen for up to 7 weeks after recovery...

[Don Corleone]

We have nothing to fear but fear itself. And Ebola.

And Obama

[RetiredTexasVet]

Well girls (and guys if appropriate), hold out for 8 week old semen just to be safe.

[VerySadAmerican]

Note to o8eleven, don’t fly ANY airlines since it’s possible some of those on United probably got on other airplanes.

[Black Agnes]

More Ohare conspiracy stuff.

[mylife]

How hard is it to say United 921 and United 822?

[combat_boots]

Gees. Do you suppose the guy used the loo on the planes?

Oh man. All the airplane company was doing was fly people around.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

According to the WHO, “The incubation period from time of infection to symptoms is 2 to 21 days.” Mr. Duncan traveled 4 days after direct contact with late-stage Ebola, which fits within that range.

The management and lawyers for United are being proactive.
