Just Breaking on News Wires now.
Wow! I stand corrected. I just found a press release from a Republican US congressman — calling for a travel ban for flights from W. Africa.
Duncan Calls for Ebola Travel Ban
Oct 14, 2014 Issues: Foreign Affairs and Foreign Aid, Health Care
WASHINGTON – In a radio interview Tuesday, Congressman John J. Duncan, Jr. (R-Tenn.) called for immediate measures to restrict travel from countries with an Ebola outbreak.
Duncan told radio host Andrew Wilkow on the Sirius-XM network that the U.S. response has been lacking.
“I sent a letter to the President and to the head of the CDC last week demanding to know the rationale for allowing these flights to continue and putting the American people in this kind of risk,” Duncan said. “The President should immediately ban travelers who originated from countries where there is an Ebola outbreak from entering the United States until this threat has passed. At the very least, these folks should be quarantined for 21 days if they want to come here.”
“I have nothing against lending U.S. expertise to fight this disease and helping out during a humanitarian crisis, and we can send health care professionals safely,” Duncan continued. “But allowing the free flow of travel by the public from western Africa is just reckless.”
The Washington Times reported this morning that the “National Institute of Health’s own statistics show that the division that handles infectious diseases has seen its funding jump from less than $1.8 billion in 2000 to $4.8 billion in 2010.”
“This is not a money issue like some are trying to make it,” Duncan said. “It is about common sense policies that protect the American people. There are foreign policy elites in our government who want to be worldly and worry more about political correctness than protecting the American people. But the U.S. cannot solve all of the world’s problems on its own and we need to put the safety of the American people first once again.”
Thanks.
How does one build up their immune system?
WBAP Dallas (and Rush) report Vinson will be transferred to Emery University hospital in Atlanta.

It takes dedication...no junk food, soft drinks, hot dogs, pizza...

[Days previous in politics.] No need to fear. We’re genetically special.
[Now in political speech.] It’s coming! Run for your lives! Quick—find someone to blame for it all!
[Pile of irony and sarcasm there.]
Wonder how long this virus can live outside a host?
3 to 10 days on a cold door knob (under 39F)

Get sleep. Cut out sugar. Eat veggies, garlic, coconut oil, vitamin b, c, d, etc..
Texas....Galveston and San Antonio have the level 4’s. Why wasn’t first 0bola nurse sent there - if not Atlanta? Just curious.
That is the magic question.
In this article it says there are only 19 beds in the country for this type of situation.
Only 19 such beds in the ENTIRE COUNTRY??!!
Sheesh...so much for the $Billions the Govt has raked in, over the years, for 0bola *preparedness*.
The Republic is finished due to Universal Suffrage
Such action on the part of the military would be the first step in restoring the Republic as the Founders established it.
The apparatchik in DC has NEVER solved a problem, continues to grow, and will never reform itself.
There is no other way.
Used to be the the CPUSA and their homosexual COMINTERN buddies would meet in secret.
Now they are in your face, large and in charge, from the WH to the local apparatchik at the county commission.
Any attempt to suppress domestic communism is now branded as hate speech or domestic terrorism.
The Republicans are useless.
It’s time to start developing a strategy to cripple the marxists, and it must be done totally outside of the electoral process through acts of civil disobedience and counter propaganda, with sympathetic State Governors and legislators assisting in the process.
All else fails, the military can fire the scumbags wholesale in all three branches, provisional military government for six months, then new elections (no incumbents need apply) only taxpayers and veterans enfranchised, all amendments repealed except the Bill of Rights, dueling legalized within DC limits.
I agree. The stopping of the flights is definitely tied into the border issue. That is what many on both sides don’t want to touch.
Both sides(some Repubs like Cruz and Jindal are okay)can rot in hell for unleashing this stuff on this nation just so they can keep the borders open!
>>I’m wearing surgical mask and gloves to My polling place!
You will need a tablet stylus, if you have a touch screen voting system.
Touch screen voting machines don’t work with the lower electrical conductivity of nitrile or latex gloves.
Also bring a bleach sprayer for the stylus and touch screen.
Alcohol gels don’t work at killing the Ebola virus at less than 90% alcohol concentrations.
