“I think there are two different parts of that equation,” he continued. “The first is, if you’re a member of the traveling public and are healthy, should you be worried that you might have gotten it by sitting next to someone? And the answer is no.”
“Second, if you are sick and you may have Ebola, should you get on a bus? And the answer to that is also no. You might become ill, you might have a problem that exposes someone around you,” Frieden said.
Another Ebola Risk: It Eats Logic

Mark Davis: So because of concern over the fragile economies of West African nations, or the slight that we may inflict to thousands of people who pose no risk— because of those, we need to say, “Hey, just in from Monrovia? Come on in!”
Steve Bucci: The biggest reason is those kind of bans have historically been proven to not do what they promise to do. They don’t give you the level of protection as a society, whether it be a city or a country that it seems intuitively they would.
MD: We absolutely have the ability to say “If you have a Liberian passport, you’re not coming in.” Try to tell me why that’s not a good idea.
SB: Because it will waste assets and it will not work.
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...
Seems like the Obama Feds want states and locals to handle things when it is convenient to them but don’t want states to deal with non citizens at other times.
Go tell Arizona that they have the right to protect themselves against “immigrants”.
Deport them to D.C.
Seems simple to me. If someone fails to “self report”, simply isolate them with several weeks of food and water, and then DON’T TREAT THEM.
Typical Obola,not my fault if your state becomes infected,it’s your fault
So this POS Obama is once again setting the stage for being able to blame someone else (the States) if something goes wrong and ebola spreads! .........Who is going to pay for this 3-weeks of monitoring by the States?
