CDC planning new travel-related measures to fight Ebola
The Blaze ^ | 10/7/2014 | Pete Kasperowicz

Posted on 10/07/2014 4:06:00 PM PDT by mojito

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Tuesday it will soon announce new travel-related recommendations aimed at stopping the spread of Ebola in the United States, and indicated the new measures would be announced later this week.

CDC Director Tom Frieden didn’t say whether the new recommendations would include a ban on flights from the three West African countries that have suffered an Ebola outbreak.

Expedited screening and approval, no doubt...

Bring Out Your Dead

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...

You can be sure that nothing forthright or effective - like a travel ban - will be announced.

So the new measure will be asking them to fill out a questionnaire and taking their temperature?

That makes me feel better, because certainly no one who would lie on a Liberian airport questionnaire would lie on a TSA questionnaire.

No kidding, they are already admitting they were wrong. Keep the pressure on folks. Remember, God tells us that children (minds of children) will be in charge in the end days. It is our job to keep as many as possible from believing them.

New measures: All air travelers in the US (yes, even on flights from Denver to Chicago, etc.) will have to bend over and have a thermometer shoved into their rear-ends by the TSA upon deplaning.

Screening for international passengers will be phased in later, once an international coalition has been created and the UN weighs in on the proper procedures to implement.

“You can be sure that nothing forthright or effective - like a travel ban - will be announced.”

Don’t be so sure... Obama’s position didn’t go over so well with the electorate, and an election is coming up. The question is how oboli will spin the change in policy.

Whatever measures they will announce should have been already.

I like that and it comes closest to the truth than any other explanation.

Just remember, these are the same idiots that leave samples of deadly diseases laying around. Now we have to endure their bonehead policies that they claim will, “prevent” this disease from spreading.

banning travel would be a good start.

keystone cops cdc.

note they don’t want to stop foreigners with restrictive laws. if obama declares martial law and activates orders concerning biological diseases, the restrictions we will be under will be draconian. won’t give a sh1t to do that to us.
