An undisclosed number of people whove been exposed to the Ebola virus not just the four patients publicly identified with diagnosed cases have been evacuated to the U.S. by an air ambulance company contracted by the State Department.
We moved a lot of other people who had an exposure event, said Dent Thompson, vice president of Phoenix Air Group. Many times these people are just fine, they just had an exposure. But you have to treat it as though the disease is present.
How many exposed patients have been flown from West Africa to the U.S.? Thompson said medical privacy laws and his companys contract with the State Department prevent him from revealing the figure.
Im not avoiding it, Thompson told Yahoo News. Im just not allowed to talk about it.

How many times? 90%? 75%? 60%??
Odds are zero. Hemorrhagic fever and enterovirus are 2 very different things
Your tax dollars at work.
Maybe they can enroll the exposed people in schools with the illegal alien kids, so that they can exchange pathogens.
We really need to take out the trash this year and in ‘16.
PING!
Except for non-government-dependent American citizens.
The US government has contracted that plane for the next 6 months. Apparently the medical personal would not go to Africa without evacuation assurances if exposed. Estimates are they will be pulling back 3 exposed every month. But those were just the initial estimates.
Considering the fact that recently WHO admits to 200 deaths in one day
and the fact that Ebola is returning to areas where it had already burnt through
and the fact that it is spreading exponentially in Africa, (see the graph at post #1783)

I think that we will see more flights in the not too distant future .
Given the 'honesty' and 'transparency' of the current administration , we may never know where treatment may occur.
The resident himself said there’s nothing to worry about.
It’s official
We are doomed
Doomed I tellya
Youre Welcome, Alamo-Girl!
The new out break from a different strain is the indication that it is not the disease that is more virulent. They got it backwards as usual.
I don’t think these flights are a move to infect America with Ebola or hide how bas thigns are. I think this is simply disease control Feds being disease control Feds.
USAMRIID has a number of people on the ground in West Africa. They would not say anything if their people got sick.
They would simply remove them to the USA for treatment.
The State Dept contracted “Angel flights” are much lower profile than a US Military marked Biz-jet, C-130, or C-17.
Before we started importing Ebola cases, there was virtually zero risk of any Ebola epidemic in the US. Now, there is a nonzero risk. Some say it’s major, some downplay it, but no one will say it’s still zero. So already, it’s increased — which is VERY bad policy.
