Now if I were paranoid I might think that terrorists loaded a bunch of ebola people on planes and sent them to airports. The gov got wind of some of them and shut down air flights as a precaution on pretext of a fire. ..........

Ok now you have scared the &^%&$ out of me. The whole day has been so overwhelming, don’t think I will sleep.
I am really afraid for our country.

there are probably 50 health care workers in isolation right now because of this guy

Nobody's in isolation.

The contacts should be in quarantine, but, if they are, I bet it's "voluntary home quarantine".

IF - and I should emphasize, NOBODY knows what's about to happen, but IF cases start popping up among HCWs and their families in Texas, then the s*** is most definitely going to hit the fan.

I remember being in Miami when the Swine-flu “epidemic” was in the news. We switched from fist-pumps to elbow-bumps. But with Ebola, cross the street and wave! We are not ready for this.

Brainwashed. I just talked to a normally sane family member that through her job comes into contact with people who have recently been to Africa. She is not in contact with them daily or in large numbers but is in contact with some. I told her I was concerned and she spouted the whole spiel about how hard it is to catch. She even joked about my concern. It is like the Twilight Zone or something, many just believe what they are told. Thank goodness she doesn’t live near me and I sure don’t plan to get-together with her any time soon either.

Whatever the guy’s motives, the facility he took down was a major cog in the ATC system. Chicago is a major hub, O’Hare is one of the busiest airports in the world. A hiccup there affects flights nationwide. Not just stranded passengers, but aircraft and aircrew that aren’t where they’re needed to be elsewhere in the country. Thus people can’t get a flight to Dallas because the planes and crews are stuck somewhere that doesn’t connect.

...Went to hospital on 24 with symptoms and they sent him home...”

How can that be?! Many on FR say we have the best health care in the world and will be all over this little virus. What - they thought he just had the flu?

I am thinking that he was not honest with the first set of healthcare workers that he saw.He most likely never told them that he recently came from Liberia. He probably was either in denial, or deliberately trying to spread the disease.

Time for the poem

There was once a virus called Ebola,

It sat in wait in the Congola,

It killed a bunch of African peopola,

Got a ride to the US freeola,

Decided to mutate into one bad asshola, Now we wait for the SH*T TO HIT THE FANOLOA

“If he was here to spread it, he would have headed straight to the malls.”

He might have.

From Liberia according to AP. Allegedly left on September 19 and arrived in Dallas the next day to visit relatives and started to feel ill 4-5 days later.

It's a virtual certainty he went to the mall, theater, restaurants...

According to local news, the patient was taken by ambulance and the Dallas city ambulance personnel who transported him are in quarantine, per the mayor of Dallas, Mike Rawlings———————
Consider 5 guys ride an Ambulance, now in quarantine, according to the MAYOR. That’s just the ambulamps ride.

50 is not a high quarantine estimate.

It is natural to send out instructions before they are needed, it isn’t the kind of thing they delay until the emergency arises and then start mailing out.

“Elevator security breach was 2 weeks ago when Obama was visiting the CDC. an old alert? Strange ...” Probably happened because most of his “security” detail are Affirmative Action hires.

All of the good secret service guys are already in the bunkers.
