Press conference is supposedly happening now.

[Secret Agent Man]

wonder why we don’t have to monitor travellers from other places.

but closing off the border/flights to these people would somehow make it worse here, says the cdc political mouthpiece.

It is important to note that the patient's fever could indicate other illnesses

Bears repeating: Fever by itself means NOTHING...or rather, the possibility of too many things ranging from an infected toenail to Ebola

Something to keep in mind for those who put their trust in airport body temperature scans.

At this rate, we’ll have someone being monitored or tested in every dang state.

Is this the guy that was seen around inner city voting spots down there? (/joke)

This should be very inspiring for NC RATS to go vote ‘for Obama’s Policies’ now that NC may have their own vector /s

[Palio di Siena]

What’s up with the doc in NY that went bowling, etc.
is he still in Bellvue?

[Ray76]

Send them to Ft. Kent, Maine.

And EBOLA comes to North Carolina, thanks OBAMA and HAGAN!!

I hate to be political about a potential health crisis, but this oughta move another percent or two away from the hagin column (and maybe even the libertarian fag boy pizza delivery guy) and into the tillis column.

And rightly so. A travel ban should have been implemented weeks ago, and people like hagin and obama have prevented it.

“Ebola is not spread through the air”

Well, then, health officials are lying, because even the CDC says indirect contact with aerosol droplets sprayed from an infected person via cough or sneeze can transmit the infection. To quote the CDC:

“droplets (e.g., splashes or sprays) of respiratory or other secretions from a person who is sick with Ebola could be infectious”

Ping...

A link to this thread has been posted on the Ebola Surveillance Thread

Not much to see here.

It's going to be a looooooooooong flu season!

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your......

(Since all records of obama's past were lost in a tragic boating accident and fire, no one can be certain that the guy in the red circle isn't him...)

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...
