This is serious - quarantine the island - no one goes in or goes out.
oops - forgot the sarc tag
Well, my daughter is going in on Wednesday so I hope that if they let her in they let her out.
Yet another reason to never go to Hawaii - a stronghold of polynesian gibsmedats who despite the Haole.
With apologies to Roger Miller.

Also Brought to You by Obama: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever

Epidemiologists are sure to appreciate Obama’s gifts to America, which include Ebola, enterovirus D-68, Chagas disease, and don’t forget dengue fever:
Dengue hemorrhagic fever has been added to the list of diseases brought by the surge of “unaccompanied minors” who have illegally entered the U.S. this year....
While dengue hemorrhagic fever is typically not fatal, the [World Health Organization] documents the disease causes a severe, flu-like illness that affects infants, young children and adults, with symptoms that include severe headache, pain behind the eyes, muscle and joint pains, nausea, vomiting, swollen glands and rash.
The “unaccompanied minors” of all ages didn’t just enter the US. They were imported all the way from the jungles of Central America, then they were immediately distributed throughout the country.
Other diseases these agents of Hopey Changey fundamental transformation brought with them include drug-resistant tuberculosis and malaria.
The massive of influx of foreigners carrying serious diseases that had been essentially eradicated in America (at great expense) is a reminder why we used to enforce immigration laws. But that was back when our government meant the country well.

I suspect Rainboma thinks it is a good thing that we see a rise in diseases. It levels the playing field. We must be brought down, according to his ideology.
Make sure she is diligent about using bug repellent. From what I’ve heard, dengue is a nasty disease—one name for it is “bone break fever—and it is spread by mosquitoes.
Also, there are four major kinds of dengue. Infection with one kind makes you more likely to die if you get infected with a different kind.
Doesn’t The Obamanation go to Hawaii every Christmas????
Let him in and don’t let him out!!!!
Oh yeah. Good point. Good idea.
Thanks, I will caution her about that. We live on Maui but she’s going over there for business.
Not really. They’ve been nice to me. I haven’t met with any unfriendliness anywhere.
Dengue Fever Ping.... (HI)
FR guys, want to repel mosquitoes from your lady, “Bombshell” by Victoria’s Secret perfume instead of DEET or there is the old standby of Avon’s Skin So Soft Baby Oil.
