Pennsylvania health officials as of Monday afternoon were monitoring 135 people for possible Ebola symptoms, an increase of 30 from last week.
This is so stupid, just ban flights from Africa, sure some will travel via other countries, but if we ban flights most other countries will do so, some already have, plus they have passports showing travel from Africa, you can quarantine those people, it will cut way back on this foolishness.
"Monitoring" is PC speak meaning they are all about town.
Trenton Makes, the World Takes.
I have no idea what. That’s what the bridge said.
Conversely, West Africa is screening people from Trenton!
Oh good, a new tagline.
And there it is. The Austin, TX local evening news said a couple days ago it's EMS weren't prepared. First Responders will never know what they're walking into until it's too late. Same with neighbors, delivery men, salesmen, etc. who happen to knock on a door with Ebola inside. A week ago, it was on the news that someone who flew into Austin was being monitored. Ok, so is the person still in Austin or a few hundred miles away? Are they making soup runs and bowling? No one knows. There are probably thousands of "monitorings" around the country.
The airports that are allowing ebola carriers in are in New York, New Jersey, Washington DC, Atlanta, and Chicago. I guess Obama’s policy of refusing to use any common sense will eventually cause much distress to a blue state.
With the blessings of Christie, eh? Will they be permitted to visit him in person? I’m about 10 minutes away. No worries. Since PA doesn’t charge tax on food and clothes we have lots of Trentonians shopping at the Walmart my sister visits. Yum.

(Since all records of obama's past were lost in a tragic boating accident and fire, no one can be certain that the guy in the red circle isn't him...)
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...
