Ebola in the USA: Are You Concerned?

[BDKJMU]

Let's see, before the swine flue scare it was y2k.. of course, we've got fake global warming to worry about, and the never ending "War On Terror" which is all based on nonsense..

Fear is the best method of control.. ask George Orwell.. "Keep them constantly afraid about things that aren't related to your rule"

I wasn't afraid of swine flu, Y2K, GW or Ebola. Seems you're more afraid of things than I am.

I'm wasn't afraid of any of those and am not of Ebola. But I am definitely concerned, especially considering the clowns that are in charge in DC..

[hitchinaride]

You would blame the government for the spread of Ebola? (smh)

Comment Prompts Ebola Scare On Flight From Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — A single comment about Ebola from one passenger on a flight out of Philadelphia prompted a scare in the air and a dramatic response when the plane finally landed.

We want to tell you up front that no one had Ebola on the plane.

But this situation demonstrates how public health officials are trying to stay on top of the threat and how even a mention of this deadly disease is taken extremely seriously.

It all happened on a U.S. Airways flight from Philadelphia to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic.
For those on board U.S. Air flight 845, it started normal enough. When that flight landed, a flight attendant made this announcement.

“I want you to keep your wits about you. There will be some people coming on. Please stay out of their way, please let them do their job,” said the flight attendant in a video.

The person, who posted a video to YouTube, wrote the passengers “were told by the flight attendants that there was a situation and that a passenger may have been in Africa and had Ebola. She was certain it was a hoax, but did not take any chances.”

A team of local officials wearing hazmat suits boarded the plane, recorded by many passengers as the team walked to the back. From there, they escorted an unidentified man off the plane.

In a statement, the airline confirmed the incident saying, “We are following the direction of, and strictly adhering to, all Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines in place for airlines in response to the Ebola virus. The flight was checked by officials and cleared.” As for the passenger:

“The symptoms would be evaluated. They would decide whether or not this patient merited Ebola testing, and if so, then that would occur,” said Dr. Amesh Adalja.

Dr. Adalja is an infectious disease physician at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. He says the medical community would have fast learned if the case had been real.

“From the medical perspective this seems like a joke, a hoax, that really went badly. I would really advise people to take this seriously because Ebola is no joke and people are very anxious about it,” he said.

The passengers were let off the plane about two hours after it landed.

As far as that false Ebola scare, U.S. Airways said it regrets the inconvenience, but it places passenger safety above all else.

A spokesperson for U.S. Airways released the following statement:

“US Airways flight 845 from Philadelphia to Punta Cana was met yesterday by local officials upon landing due to a possible health issue on board. We are following the direction of, and strictly adhering to, all Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines in place for airlines in response to the Ebola virus. The flight was checked by officials and cleared. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused but the safety of our customers and employees is our first priority.”

**** Donks.

Yep.
"U.S. general warns Ebola could cross U.S. southern border

The military’s top official responsible for Latin America says he’s concerned illegal immigrants from West Africa could already be sneaking across the porous southern border carrying Ebola, adding a new potential danger the White House will have to grapple with.

Already, lawmakers on Capitol Hill have panned President Obama’s new proposal to start taking the temperature of passengers arriving from West Africa at five U.S. airports.

The bipartisan group of congressmen told Mr. Obama to issue a full-blown travel ban prohibiting citizens of affected countries from entering the U.S., and imposing a quarantine on any travelers who arrive from West Africa.

But legal channels may not be the only vulnerability. Marine Corps Gen. John F. Kelly, commander of U.S. Southern Command, said he was in Costa Rica last week and encountered an embassy employee who’d run across a handful of Liberian men preparing to be smuggled into the U.S. as illegal immigrants.

“Anything can ride on the network,” Gen. Kelly said this week at the National Defense University in Washington.

He said the danger is two-fold: Not only might illegal immigrants from Africa enter the U.S. unchecked, but if Ebola spreads to Central America it could spark a new wave of illegal immigration to the U.S. that would make this summer’s surge “look like a small problem.”

“If Ebola breaks out in Haiti or in Central America, I think it is literally ‘Katie bar the door’ in terms of the mass migration of Central Americans into the United States,” the general said.

Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson on Thursday defended the steps he’s taken so far, which will soon include U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents giving closer scrutiny at five U.S. airports to travelers from the three most heavily affected West African countries. Officers will be asked to take the temperature of travelers to try to spot fever, which is one of the early symptoms of the disease.

Mr. Johnson said only about 150 people a day come from Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone, and more than 90 percent of them go through the five international airports he’s targeted in New Jersey, New York, Virginia, Georgia and Illinois.

The secretary also issued a pointed plea to reporters to show “responsibility” in their reporting and avid coverage “that is certain to feed the flames of fear, anxiety and suspicion.”

But both Democrats and Republicans on Capitol Hill said more needs to be done to push the nation’s barrier against Ebola overseas, rather than meeting it in U.S. airports.

“Until this disease is controlled and wiped out, the president should begin a ban on air travel to and from infected regions of Africa,” said Rep. Dennis Ross, one of the lawmakers to sign a letter to Mr. Obama demanding the changes.

The letter-writers pointed out that 27 African countries have already taken those steps, “but the United States inexplicably has not......."

At least Ronnie Reagan was able to kill a bunch of you fags with AIDS.

Negative. Reagan worked in Hollyweird, was Gov. in the land of fruits and nuts...he was definitely not homophobic.

Tip O'Neil on the other hand, was a hard drinking Irishman from a white working class man's-man community...and controlled the CIA's budget...covertly.

Yeah but that was when he was a Democrat.

"State: Don't bring waste from Ebola victim's personal items here

BATON ROUGE, La. - A judge on Monday afternoon granted state Attorney General Buddy Caldwell's request for a temporary restraining order to block the disposal of incinerated waste from the Dallas Ebola victim's personal items and belongings at a Louisiana landfill.

It has been reported that six truckloads of potential Ebola contaminated material collected from the apartment where the Dallas Ebola victim became ill were brought to Port Arthur, Texas on Friday to be processed at the Veolia Environmental Services incinerator. From there the incinerated material is slated to be transported to a hazardous waste landfill in Louisiana for final disposal....."

Has anyone listened to interviews with CDC Director Thomas Frieden? This guy is a clown. He almost never answers a question. He is heavily trained in media relations and does not provide an answer that is worth a shit.

How is a person that worked with an ebola patient, and on constant monitoring, allowed to take public transportation? The CDC is another flailing government program. We are all fucked.
