Does anyone who still flies up to now, care to comment on well cleaned planes are after a flight to prepare for the next one?


Oh, you don’t wanna know...

I’ve often been the last to deplane, with little kids. They come through, pretty damn quick, one does a quick spray n wipe, one vacuums, one checks the pockets on the seat backs. But I have found trash from other people down at the bottom of those pockets. So it’s not a rigorous clean by any means. They are usually chatting and distracted.

Basically, zero cleaning. Turn around times are about 10 - 15 minutes from unload to reload. There is a periodic cleaning schedule that is infrequent but more thorough.

I think there’s a case to be made for that.

The CDC is handling Ebola like low level pathogen not a viral disease with about a 70% mortality.

They better hurry and use the # to control this before Barack finds out about Ebola being in the United States.

Can you trust the people who couldn’t do a web site with containing Ebola? (pass it on)

Everybody listen up! The CDC has laid down some new standards today and I want to catch everyone up so you don’t look racist in front of your co-workers:

1. It’s A-OK to fly internationally from Liberia with known Ebola contact so long as you are (to your knowledge) asymptomatic.

2. It’s NOT OK to fly domestically with known Ebola contact so long as you are (to your knowledge) asymptomatic.

How copy?

I realize my next comment may be indiscreet but. . .

. . .given today’s (lack of)moral standards, shouldn’t someone warn her fiancé that sharing her bed and her “charms” in the past 5 days means he probably has Ebola also. And any of his family members. . . and people they come in contact with. . . and people at the shower. . . .

Obama knows. It was on the news already.

He issued a statement:

“Hey! Watch this drive!”

Yep, I sure do!

I truly can’t tell if this is all malice aforethought, or abject incompetence.

Occam’s Razor tells us incompetence - but Obola’s People and their actions speak differently...

“get in touch” might not have been the best choice of words

I think we’ve been appointing far too many people ignoring their actual skills.

You can have a degree and be a total incompetent. This Friedan seems to be an example of that.

As for Obama, he’s another example of exactly the same thing?

Who is going to pay for all of this, the people who MAY BE infected?

I saw a link stating the baby daddy has been isolated, but is not presenting symptoms.

As soon as I find it again, I’ll post and ping you both!

If they didn’t give her care in Emory, that would be racist.

Yeah I wonder what type of vacuum they use on the plane. If it is not HEPA filtered they are in effect spreading pathogens like Ebola.

‘Must be a affirmative action hire’...Bingo...I have been thinking this thru for a week...take institutions that have been riddled with affirmative action for 50 years and challenge it with a deadly disease...predictable results.

yeah and if it is the same rag they are basically spreading the Ebola virus to multiple surfaces if there were traces of Ebola after the flight Patient #3 was on.

I feel more scared for the airline cleaning crew... they are the ones that have to clean the bathrooms where Ebola victims may have been vomiting and/or excreting other... bodily fluids..

Despite the fact Miss Vinson did not exhibit symptoms on the plane

Aside from the fever she was running when she got on the outbound flight? This woman was sick with fever when she left Dallas and had an even higher fever on her flight home, so there should be two flights full of people who should be concerned, not just the return flight.

And on each flight, how many times did she use the restroom, touching the door handle, faucet handles, soap dispenser, etc? How many people touched the same overhead bin that she touched? I hope the CDC folks know what they are talking about - from what I've read, Ebola can be transmitted through the mucus of an infected person, just as the flu and the common cold often are. If this woman had flown with the common cold, some number of people on the plane would have caught cold because they touched surfaces she had touched and later touched their own noses or lips - why will Ebola be different?

Why is ONE nurse going to Emory and the other is not?

Something is fishy here.
