Special kind of stupid.

I get it too, to some extent. I mean, how are we supposed to accomplish this? Fine, so we ban all flights to the US from West Africa. There ARE NO flights from West Africa to the US. This guy came through Brussels. So do we ban flights from Brussels or does the whole world ban ANY flight from West Africa???
That’s what it would take. How can you accomplish that? What if the guy flew to Russia and then went to Germany and then to the US? It’s impossible to track.
I don’t know what the answer is and before I really started thinking about it - I shared your sentiment, but it doesn’t seem very realistic to implement.
Thanks, Jane!
There is nothing that could force me onto an airplane these days.
I quit flying in the 1990’s; nearly every time I flew I contracted a cold from some inconsiderate slob that should have stayed home. When flying you are trapped within a swirl of germs.
When I travel internationally, I am required to have a visa for entry. It's usually a single entry stamp. Japan gave me a five year unlimited commercial entry visa. That was only after a year of multiple in's and out's.
I had a room mate from Luxembourg. We flew from Ft. Pierce Florida to West End, Bahamas for a weekend of fun. When I landed in Fort Pierce returning they refused him entry. His visa was only good for one entry to the US. We didn't realize. His consulate in New York had to come down and get him out of a holding area. It took three days.
I called my congressional representative’s more than a month ago suggesting that if they did not implement quarantining of passengers from hot spots, it could lead to commerce in this country coming to a grinding halt. Sounds travelers are now starting to question the safety of flying - airline stocks nose dived today.
I hate to say I told them so.
When do other countries start banning flights from the U.S.?
What’s the difference between the crystals and tablets? Where do you get the crystals? Do you know the dosage, frequency?
She was very irresponsible. But then, she belongs to the same self-centered group as Thomas Duncan, who flew here with Ebola.
OK...I happened to hear Dr. Michael Savage discussing with Laura Ingraham on her radio show because she was sick...he said the crystals are much more bioavailable and usable by the body....and then said he would talk to her offline....I know MY doctor (MD and ND who teaches others) believes in Vitamin C.. (Dr. Jonathan Wright)....and you can order Crystals online...or get them at most health stores/departments.
I am not only taking Vitamin C but will also start taking zinc and echinacea and yes, I have to fly in mid-January.
I’m supposed to fly in early November....but, the hub says NO YOU ARE NOT! We shall see.
The radio news guys just said the chick flew to Cleveland to plan her wedding. Then hustled back to Dallas to catch her next shift. I’m guessing she could just plan her own funeral in dallas now. Talk about volunteering for a Darwin award. this chick is an absolute stone brain.
It’s a tough call. I am re-locating to AZ from IL.
So frontier..... you were negligent in protecting your passengers from Ebola exposure and death. You did not ask them nor have signs asking if there was contact with Ebola or anyone from affected regions. You did not warn of potential panic and anxiety resulting to your passengers from such a deadly encounter.
That will be $43 million please. It will be on behalf of them all. Frontier.... you are liable for gross and deadly negligence
Dallas Hospital ........ ditto except you were negligent for allowing the carrier of the deadly disease to expose all in the waiting room both staff,patients and families, especially the pregnant women and children both born and un born.
