Sad thing is that is probably why, they did not ask him of recent travels overseas.

It would be racist.

Apparently not.....In the presser the Dr. speaking said “the individual was here visiting family members that live here”. I kept hitting rewind to make sure I heard it correctly.

Probably not airborne. If it were there would be a lot more rapid spread in obvious locations. For example when people stood around (relatively close) to that infected kid in the slum. It may go airborne at some point, but may change too much to be very serious at that same time (e.g. Reston).

OTOH, it doesn't need to be airborne to be big trouble.

Let’s hope he wasn’t symptomatic for any of those.

It doesn't mean that he wasn't contagious. Scientists are not entirely sure about all the ways Ebola can be communicated. Deaths of many doctors in Africa are a clear proof of that - they were not protecting themselves enough. In the USA Ebola is studied in biosafety level 4 labs (the highest.)

United flies Lagos-Houston.

Lagos is in Nigeria, not in Liberia. 972.46 miles as crow flies. He had to take a regional jet for that hop.

If anything, the information HELD BACK from the public only will lead to legitimate panic.

Or the family, and the people THEY came in contact with, at work, school, routine travel. Then, there’s the airplane itself, the crew and their travels, work, food, food handling.

Six degrees of separation and all that.

“Elevator security breach was 2 weeks ago when Obama was visiting the CDC”.

What was Obama doing at the CDC? Damage control? Now we get another “security breach” on an elevator in Atlanta. At the CDC?

What is going on here?

Not likely in plane air handler. Droplets are possible vector but they won’t make it through any reasonable filter. With the current virus the Nigerian in the plane killed a couple people who sat next to him, touched his puke, etc. He didn’t kill more than that.

No, Sis not a chance. This loser Obama could eat a live human baby on the White house steps and the believing fools would say the baby had it coming. Nothing taking down President Azaziel except LORD’S return.

Ive been to Urgent Care at Kaiser, trust me, you sit there for HOURS before you get to see a doctor, meanwhile, everyone is coughing and sneezing all around you. So everyone at that medical care facility this guy went to is now exposed, but the CDC won’t even say the name of the facility

At LAX ya got aircraft landing nearly every single minute....Like Dallas, Houston, NY, Seattle, Boston, Miami and on and on.

And the thought never occurred to the fat wealthy slobs who run the airlines they should immediately stop thousands from bailing out of Africa into the U.S., as they count their fat profits....

Nowhere did I make a claim about how well or often the aircraft are cleaned.

After that presser, I am 100% reassured there is NOTHING to worry about. Nope, not a thing...

The incubation is twenty-one days right? No way to know how many people he could have infected.

You enter every thread defending Obama and his
spread of infectious diseases. Why?

ANYONE WHO FLEW those days

Anyone who flew and touched his bodily fluids. That depends on a lot of variables like him sneezing on things. There is probably no way to know how bad it is at this point. It may be nobody, it might be a few, it might be 100. I would guess the number is low however, from the Nigerian in the plane experience.
