Fresh fears after passenger flying from to Nigeria to JFK dies in his seat after vomiting profusely

A 63-year-old man died during a flight from Nigeria to New York's JFK after vomiting profusely - but it was only a 'cursory' exam by the CDC that confirmed he did not have Ebola. The passenger boarded an Arik Air plane out of Lagos, Nigeria, on Wednesday night, but passed away before the plane reached its final destination.

Flight attendants called the CDC, Port Authority and customs officials, who then boarded the plane as it touched down, forcing 145 worried passengers to remain on board.

The authorities then conducted tests on the body and it was only a short evaluation that suggested he did not have the deadly virus, prompting concerns there are still 'vulnerabilities' in airports.

Interesting, what you’re saying about it spreading. But I do think that Nigeria is on to something. If a person appears sick, and especially if diagnosed, put him on a plane to the Land of OPEN BORDERS. He’ll get the best healthcare in the world (for a while longer), and probably get to stay, if he recovers.

Kind of sad to see Third World countries OUTSMARTING us, but not at all surprising, given the Keystone Cops running our government.

Ebola patients on the other hand don’t vomit and drop dead.

Remember the mid-90s non-fiction book "The Hot Zone", by Richard Preston? The first chapter describes the death of a French man living in Kenya who contracted Marburg virus, another deadly hemorrhagic fever virus very closely related to the Ebola virus. The man dropped dead after vomiting a prodigious amount of blood in a crowded Nairobi hospital waiting room - after flying to Nairobi on a crowded flight.

Presumably the gentleman who passed away in the current incident did not vomit blood.

After seeing the list of third world nations that are temporarily refusing passports from various nations, I realized we are now a fourth world nation.

Could have also been symptoms of drug smuggling internally.

Well, I’ll bet Jeh Johnson is quaking in his Gucci loafers after getting that letter from Peter King. Like Eric Holder, Kathleen Sebelius and others that have run afoul of the mighty US House of representatives.

yeah, I am sure he is.

POTUS continues to permit 100 visas a day to be processed from several W. African Ebola infected nations. He cannot seriously think that the majority of those who become infected will be living here in majority communities does he? He will single handedly destroy many Black Coommunities, fratricide / genicide, in the hopes of getting some added Democrat votes someday.

The man lives in his own world, a system of beliefs that do not concide with reality. A true Democrat.

Sounds like a textbook heart attack, actually. Vomiting is a common symptom.

I didn't realize that.

Yes, but at least we didn’t penalize his fledgling democracy by forbidding him to fly.....

The fledgling democracy is about to be declared Ebola-free, no new cases having popped up in over a month.

Nigeria's 19-case outbreak began with a visibly sick passenger who arrived from Liberia and passed out in the Lagos airport. Initially, they thought he had malaria. By the time they figured out he had Ebola, he had infected several of his caregivers. Extensive contact-tracing, involving 18,500 face-to-face interviews, yielded a pool of 900 people, who were monitored for 21 days. All 19 cases that eventually developed were traced back to the sick passenger.

Well, I went into cardiac arrest following a day or so of ralphing everything, even water. I'd call the vomiting profuse. And the hospital thought I had a bad flu.

The PTB have determined that the USA will be the MASH tent for the rest of the world. Call it the new world order.

He either had ebola or aspirated his own vomit. It’s not easy to aspirate enough vomitus to drown in it instantly.

Well it’s so unfair we have these modern hospitals. You know, we wouldn’t have those hospitals if we hadn’t abused third world nations and taken all their wealth...

Cough, cough, sputter, sputter...
