The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is considering adding the names of healthcare workers being monitored for the Ebola virus to the government's no-fly list, federal officials tell Fox News.

The move is being considered as a response to Wednesday's disclosure that Dallas nurse Amber Joy Vinson was cleared to fly on a commercial airliner earlier this week despite having been exposed to the Ebola virus while treating Thomas Edward Duncan at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital.

But if they get their names on the list, then they'll never get off it. Seems like a recipe for rebellion by the very health care workers who will have treat the Ebola victims, as well as family members, or anyone else who is exposed through no fault of their own.

[Servant of the Cross]

Considers?!!! WTH?

[FreedomStar3028]

Uh, you can’t get off the “no fly list”.

[BenLurkin]

Too late.

[Vigilanteman]

Of course, West Africans, where the virus originates, and jihadis, who will seek to intentionally spread it, will be exempt from the ban for reasons of political correctness.

[dirtboy]

Considering the CDC cleared her to fly with a low-grade fever, I think a better approach would be for the CDC to START FRIGGIN’ THINKING!

[allendale]

Sure put American health workers on a no fly list who have had contact with Ebola patients, but allow any West African to fly essentially unhindered into the United States. A person can remain totally asymptomatic for three weeks after becoming infected

Liberians fly wherever you want - Nurses No. How upside down is this.

[jetson]

Well, Barry’s name should be on there since he kissed one of them.

[Mechanicos]

Would it be wrong to hang around polling places in democrat areas wearing a Hazmat costume on election day?

[ThomasMore]

” How upside down is this.”

This is OBAMANATION. It is two levels after you reach the Twilight Zone.

[RummyChick]

This is absolutely crazy when West Africans fly around spreading this all over the world

[Vigilanteman]

I caught a snippet of the CDC Director on Fox last night offering the excuse that "We wouldn't want to damage the emerging economies of these fledgling democracies by stopping commercial flights."

Un-freaking-beleievable!

[polymuser]

This sure all seems to be about taking America (as my father knew it) down, down, down.

[lilypad]

The nurses are also running around and treating other patients, eating in the cafeterias , etc. at the hospitals they work at. How about that?

[ViLaLuz]

Dallas County already ordered no travel for them.

[Toespi]

CDC is saying, that the nurse who was in Cleveland, cancelled her meeting with her bridesmaids because she wasn’t feeling well, which was probably days before the flight from Cleveland to Dallas.

[dblshot]

So if one did try to fly they would not get through to the plane meaning only those people standing in the interminally long security checkpoint lines that snake back and forth before one gets to the checkpoint would be exposed. Now there’s a plan.

[I want the USA back]

If they can do that, they can block travel to and from the affected countries, for non-medical personnel.
They have been ordered not to do so by 0bama, who bears responsibility for any outcome.

[Timber Rattler]

"We wouldn't want to damage the emerging economies of these fledgling democracies by stopping commercial flights."

So the truth finally pops out...it's all about international politics and money.
