Plane full of Liberians, many unaccompanied minors. Basically, they are fleeing their country to get here, sick OR well.So happy that your wife is home safe and sound. What an ordeal for her -- and for you. Praying hard that she and other passengers were not exposed to Ebola.
The "planeload of Liberians, many unaccompanied minors," deserves a thread of it's own
This is terrifying.

I'd like to see the visas all revoked, and all flights from the region coming into other countries checking the visas before they allow them to board for flights into the USA (or elsewhere).
They keep telling us that they know how to handle it. They talk about quarantine, isolation, contact tracing, and personal protection, but yet allow people to stream out and into the USA. And a CNA who was in contact is free to work in a nursing home, but his family has to be quarantined. So he's would be allowed to come and go daily.
That doesn't seem like isolation or quarantine to me. Additionally, the screening measures are not particularly comforting. A questionnaire, and temperature, both of which can be easily circumvented by lying and taking Tylenol.
Plus the test for Ebola is not always accurate initially. I have read several articles where people in the region tested negative, were released and sent home, and a few days later were back in worse condition and testing positive.
Dr. Brantly’s first test was negative, but they continued to quarantine him and his 72 hr test came back positive. So when I hear these reports in the news, immediately stating it is not Ebola, and releasing people, it makes me more even more nervous.
I would feel better, if they said something like it doesn't appear to be Ebola, but we are taking precautions, and will be performing further tests. But that's just me. Others may not feel the same way.

It obviously takes some time for the virus to be detected. I don’t know how much and I don’t think they do..so they use different levels of concern to create different levels of observation to full quarantine.
But that’s for a potential contact.
As for incoming people from the affected area..You just don’t know...and yes people lie every day.
That is why we created Ellis island..
My grandparents came through there...They never talked about it...not once..

It was a sarcastic remark. Seriously, I guess I have to put a sarcasm tag on absolutely everything. So many other FReepers understood my intent, but not others.
To: Cold Heat
We need to go back to having an “Ellis Island”. JMHO

Update: Yes, Wife did get a one page hand out from the CDC, as in what you do in case of; and here's what to give your doc in case of
She also got an email from cdc very soon the day after stating "all is well, remain calm"
Bottom line, this was handled like crap. IMO
Thank you all again for your kind thoughts !

Thanks for posting an update. I sure hope all these reports that it is NOT Ebola turn out to be accurate, and that whatever it is, no one else gets it. Prayers for you and yours and all involved.

Just, wow. But not that we expected much more from how they’ve been handling things. You and she will remain in our thoughts.

Anybody who thinks they are infected with half a brain and enough money to fly to the usa to increase they chances of survival will be coming... Hopefully the airlines will put a stop to this stupidity...and bar travelers from infected countries. ... This kind of disease can kill pilots too...
