I think all incoming people from West Africa should be confined in Reid’s condo at the Ritz Carlton in DC for 21 days and Reid should be required to stay there and alert everyone as to their condition.

“an invasion of America through the transmission of viruses may be considered payback on the part of the Left”

You are 100% correct my friend. The useful idiots on the left think they are visionaries.

Meanwhile, they activate in themselves the very worst of human depravity—the call for genocide—but they’re too stupid to understand they’re digging their own graves.

YOU FREAKING IDIOT REID!!!

You don't ban FLIGHTS you ban PEOPLE who have recently traveled to one of the infected countries from boarding a plane to here!!

EVERYONE coming to the US via plane ALREADY has to go through customs BEFORE getting on the plane coming here!!

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS CHECK THEIR FREAKING PASSPORT FOR A RECENT VISIT TO ONE OF THE WEST AFRICAN COUNTRIES!

We have IDIOTS running our government, and THIS TIME their low IQ’s could KILL US ALL !

It doesn’t matter what countries they have to take connecting flights from. The US can deny them travel visas. How hard is that?

The flu season in just starting. People are going to get sick and think it’s Ebola. The hospitals are going to get flooded. We are headed for a serious meltdown of medical care in this country. Oh, and we have Obamacare. Once people start dieing maybe this country will react. Let’s hope it will not be too late. It’s going to be a long cold winter in this country.

“If there was a ban they would just fly to smaller countries before coming here.”

But if it saves one child, is it not worth it?

The liberals own ebola. It’s their fault.

read post # 4254 in the Ebola Surveillance postings :
( http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3191066/posts?q=1&;page=4251 )

95% of confirmed cases have an incubation period in the range of 1 to 21 days; 98% have an incubation period that falls within the 1 to 42 day interval. [1]

Unless the sentence structure is somehow misleading, this passage appears to indicate the following:
• 95% of Ebola incubations occur from 1 – 21 days
• 3% of Ebola incubations occur from 21 – 42 days
• 2% of Ebola incubations are not explained (why?)

If this interpretation of the WHO’s statistics are correct, it would mean that:
• 1 in 20 Ebola infections may result in incubations lasting significantly longer than 21 days
• The 21-day quarantine currently being enforced by the CDC is entirely insufficient to halt an outbreak
• People who are released from observation or self-quarantine after 21 days may still become full-blown Ebola patients in the subsequent three weeks,
even if they have shown no symptoms of infection during the first 21 days.
(Yes, read that again…)

I hope they have this on tape/video so it can be played over and over as Americans are dying from Ebola.

house needs to pass a bill requiring quarantine or banning visitors from ebololand and see if the senate votes it down they need to do it now before the election, the people want the ban/quarantine overwhelmingly.

Boehner do something, either pass legislation or quit.

I wonder if the Regime has contemplated a travel ban from the US to other countries, once Ebola is epidemic here in the States?

I fully understand the statistics, and that they may need to be revised for different strains of virus.

95% is pretty good.... 98% is better, but 42 days (six weeks) is a looong time. People who have been exposed should be warned, but at some point, you can’t keep them quarantined any longer.

I’m not wedded to the 21 days, but I don’t know if doubling the time for the extra 3% of safety is doable from a behavioral and societal point of view.
