Nothing. I’m highly suspicious and have said so before. The other question is when these folks get sick, will they be treated in Dallas? Or quietly flown to Atlanta? I think they will have a hard time getting nurses to come to work in Dallas for a while.....

Very close contact skin to skin for a period of at least a minute or so with a patient not just symptomatic but quite ill?

There are some in Africa who had only the most fleeting of contact and contracted the disease, but they were dealing with patients near death. The worst seems to be anything that came into contact with a deceased patient in the hours following death, though.

The proper caption is, “You’ve got Ebola!”

Now we have to be worried if the person is black or white and dies or survives...

And that'll be the main thing some folks worry about. *sigh*

Exactly. Shedding virus particles like crazy!

Thru the smallest cut in the caregiver's skin.

In the case of the Spanish nurse, they are speculating she may have caught it while taking off her space suit.

Not really, we don’t need anymore hosts running around the country! One was bad enough!

Whoah, Jessie Jackson was with the family. No protection of any kind in evidence, I believe he was photographed fist-bumping the girlfriend/wife to be?

You can sit and do the math on man-hours. For each single person that comes up with Ebola...you can figure at least 3,000 man-hours tied up into this guy, tracking his friends and family down, testing them, and trying to prevent further issues. You can figure by March of next year...at least 10,000 people in Texas who have contracted the disease, and the whole system overcome with man-hours that they can’t sustain. Just figure one single McDonalds that a guy might visit and having the entire crew put on quarantine. Or a Wal-Mart visit....where the 300 employees are now quarantined.

If ebola really gets going here, it will spread through the schools. Pitchforks will come out if this concentrates on kids.

Too late is right. It’s here.
And with reports of people being caught at the border who are from those countries, banning flights would only do so much good.

Two hairdressers voluntarily admitted to ebola unit in Madrid along with 5 others - all in contact with nurse Romero. Total isolated in Spain now 14. Hospital says Romero should have reported error in touching her face, Romero relatives say that Romero wasn’t tested despite reporting symptoms.

I realize that, but with the refusal to ban flights, the useless temperature scans at a few airports, this will become epidemic before long.

Really? I haven't seen much fighting back against the communist takeover of our country so far. I find it hard to believe this -- or anything -- will change the fundamental complacency of the American people.

The question is how many people has she exposed.

More than a few I would suspect. I don't believe a single solitary word that comes out of the mouths of the CDC. They are all a bunch of professional liars. I'm sure they had to have known there was a very good chance that others would be infected by this African guy, yet it seems they did everything they could to minimize the danger. What A holes they are.

It suggests to me some kind of susceptibility on the part of the receiver, whether the virulence of the contact or something within their own makeup that is more prone to infection by this virus or something about the method of entry by the virus.
