Hundreds of airline passengers were exposed to the Liberian national before he landed in Dallas, last month, as it is revealed that he took at least three flights to get from Monrovia, Liberia to Texas.
Officials announced that Thomas Eric Duncan flew through Brussels to get to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport - but no airlines operate a direct flight from the European capital to Dallas, meaning he had to take a connecting flight in between.
U.S. officials have refused to release details of his itinerary, including which city he connected through - claiming that none of his fellow passengers are at risk.
Several leading U.S. airlines said on Wednesday they were in close contact with federal health officials about Ebola-related travel.
Airlines for America, the industry trade group, on Wednesday U.S. airlines are in regular contact with the Centers for Disease Control and other government agencies about helping to prevent the spread of Ebola.

A link to this thread has been posted on the Ebola Surveillance Thread
Internet tough guy.
You still can’t answer it straight. And can’t have a reasonable discussion. Which is all this little FR forum is. Not even any germs can pass through here.
All you can do is taunt.
This guy is not an agent of the US or any subordinate government. If he made it here when he has major contagion problems, that is at best the government’s fault, not his for naturally wanting to move on.
Like he was thinking, “hey, I’d like to spread mayhem all over the place even while I die!” Only Moslems do that and even they don’t like the slow, obvious spread of disease; they prefer one-shot big bangs.
Seems like high-grade fever goes along with ebola, which may help distinguish it from flu.
Somebody on this thread mentioned that the cabbies told him/her in Europe that ebola came there through illegal immigrants but that nobody would say anything about it because of potential loss of revenue. The same thing would likely happen here - just like everybody was mum about where the enterovirus came from. That makes it especially difficult because it won’t just be people who have traveled to Liberia who could be exposed. It could be anybody - anybody who would normally think they have the flu.
I’ve actually not been feeling well today so the question is very pertinent.
Zinc boosts the immune system, but too much can be toxic. Take Vitamin D3, 3000 IU per day. I totally agree about stopping flights from infected areas, but, gee, think of all the money lost. /sarc. Good luck with that.
We were hoping to visit my in-laws a couple hours from Dallas over the Christmas break. Who knows what will happen by then.

Eeeee-bolllll-aaaaaa ping!
Bring Out Your Dead
Were gonna need
a bigger cart!
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...

Yikes. Hope you feel better in the a.m.
Nope, I am not the president whose job it is to protect the people of the country. He could have outright banned travelers from ebola countries, but he didn’t.
And that’s what I’m wondering.
He flew on Brussels Airlines. I can only see one daily flight
Ok ok spare the plane but they need to use a disinfectant at least.
Are they scrambling to shut down traffic out of Africa, or West Africa?
I am so unimpressed with them, our government, the Chamber of Commerce and the whole rotten pornography addicted bunch of puny excuses for men claiming to be in charge of our country. The feminists who have them by the gonads are worse.
MEAN infection time is 6.3 days from this analysis in 2005.
(same strain, Zaire)

I'm 2 star general in the war on women....I wear a wife beater T-shirts and import young woman from the Philippines to work at my chicken ranch in Lodi.
But you dont know a thing about ME,
Sure I do, you've already ID'd yourself as a female and engineer.
You know anything poultry?
Like in a mandatory experimental vaccine for everyone else first, except the Extortion-Care Exempt Ones?
As in, we get the mandatory experimental vaccine (to maximize their profits) and they get the pill IF they have an exposure that warrants caution.
When did Mr. Duncan make reservations for his flight to Brussels and Washington on to Dallas. Was it prior to Sept 16 when he helped with the pregnant woman?
