Ebola Comes to the United States: Deadly Virus Crosses U.S. Border

The final phase of Baraq Hussein Ubama's fundamental transformation of America is about to begin.

“Ebola spreads between people when they have direct contact with blood or other bodily fluids from someone with the disease. People can contract the disease by indirect contact with items that are contaminated with the fluids, such as needles and medical waste”

So its just like AIDS. Wonder why its OK to quarentine people with Ebola but not....O wait. Thats right. Nevermind.

These people are US citizens.

They need to be brought back home for treatment.

[FlingWingFlyer]

“The reason we are bringing these patients back to our facility is because we feel they deserve to have the highest level of care offered for their treatment.”

Which one again proves that the Nazi DemocRATS are wrong when they lie to us and say that America IS NOT an exceptional country made up of exceptional people.

Speaking of Terminus, The Walking Dead returns 10-12-2014.

You know I have never seen 30 seconds of any zombie movie or television show. I don’t get the hoopla.

I wonder if a simple toilet flush by a Ebola infected person could contaminate an entire restroom? Suppose that restroom was the small toilet room found on an airline. Could the amount of fecal matter that is released from toilet “aerosol” contaminate others with the Ebola virus? Has the simple modern day toilet become the Achilles heal for the next epidemic?

Lice, infectious diarrhea, multi-drug resistant tuberculosis, scabies, chickenpox, and growing numbers of sexually transmitted diseases have to sneak across the border.

For Ebola, we'll send a private jet...

Bring Out Your Dead

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...

Why? I have no doubt that these are decent human beings however they volunteered to do this knowing the risks involved. It’s not like they went off to war to defend our country. They were working for a private charity, not the American people.

I don’t believe I owe them anything. I’m sorry for them but I have children and grandchildren who haven’t volunteered to risk their lives. I wouldn’t volunteer to do this type of work if I was married and had a family. I would put my family first. This person voluntarily decided to take the risk they should take responsibility for their decision. Do the rest of us not have any say in the matter?

Bringing them into this country risked millions of other Americans who don’t deserve to be exposed to this danger. I can’t believe people think this was okay. We’re not talking about a case of lice here. This is a very serious virus. We are not sure how this person contracted the disease. The survival rate is very low.Considering he is a doctor I’m sure the usual precautions were taken yet he still contracted it.

There is no cure and the only treatment is supportive praying that the patient can fight off the disease. It was morally wrong, IMO, to deliberately bring someone with this type of virus into our country. There was nothing admirable about this. Or charitable. The charity that he worked for certainly could have sent a volunteer medical team and equipment to HIM without risking the chance of starting what would amount to a plague to the rest of us.

It seems the people are at the government’s mercy in all things now. It seems we cannot manage to import enough disease and pestilence. While a person who is this giving deserves admiration I do not believe they deserve the risking of other’s lives who choose to stay home and not take these types of risks. I don’t believe we need to commit suicide to show our appreciation for their sacrifice. But because you think you owe this volunteer for a private charity working in Africa that means my family has to bite the bullet and just pray we haven’t started an epidemic here. God help us when people that believe this way are making life and death decisions for the rest of us. As an American citizen I think I deserve the right to expect that my government would protect me from this type of risk. In fact, it should be their #1 priority to keep diseases like this OUT of here.

At this point I wonder if it even matters anymore. Why the hell not right? What exactly to we have to lose at this point?

Downright poetic, null.

I think you should set it to music. A "catchy" tune?

Life/health BUMP!

Thanks to all posters.

I see what you did there...

[BuckeyeTexan]

I think the CDC is up to this particular task. Yes, Ebola is deadly, but the treatment facility in Atlanta is light years ahead of those in West Africa and so are the societal and sociological conditions.

I haven’t yet made up my mind about the risk though.

[dragnet2]

lol...

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

“...the treatment facility in Atlanta is light years ahead of those in West Africa...”

Future Obama speech.....

“My fellow Americans....it’s not fair that these two American medical workers with ebola get the finest medical treatment here in the United States while those infected in Africa suffer with sub-standard medical care.”

“Therefore, I’m issuing an executive order in which every man, woman and child infected with ebola in Liberia, Gambia, Sierra Leone, Nigeria and elsewhere in West Africa will immediately be brought to the United States for treatment.”

“If you have any questions, I may answer them after I return from my three-week vacation at a multi-million dollar estate in Martha’s Vineyard.”

It would not surprise me...

[proudpapa]

Call me cynical, but I’m of the opinion that nothing happens by coincidence, Our gov’t wants this to happen. This will hit elderly and inner urban minorities the hardest.

Two groups that are statistically a drag on our government due to medicare, medicaid, and other expenses like food stamps. Etc.

[Oliviaforever]

Could you please cite a US law that permits the federal government to exclude US citizens from entering the United States?

Part of the new agenda to protect those with AIDS from "discrimination".

Planned Parenthood (IPPF) is seeking with other groups to prohibit notification of HIV/AIDS status to sex partners and family.

“A guide for young people living with HIV to help them understand their sexual rights”

“Sexual and reproductive rights are recognized around the world as human rights - Every person living with HIV is entitled to these rights and they are necessary for the development and well-being of all people and the societies in which they live.”

“Young people living with HIV may feel that sex is just not an option, but don’t worry — many young people living with HIV live healthy, fun, happy and sexually fulfi lling lives. You can too, if you want to! Things get easier (and sex can get even better) as you become more comfortable with your status.”

“This guide is here to support your sexual pleasure and health, and to help you develop strong intimate relationships. It explores how your human rights and sexual well-being are related and suggests strategies to help you
make decisions about dating, relationships, sex and parenthood. It explores the rights of young people living with HIV to:

• express and enjoy their sexuality (page 3)
• decide if, when, and how to disclose their
HIV status (page 5)
• experience sexual pleasure (page 7)
• take care of their sexual health (page 9)
• practise safer sex (page 11)
• choose if, when, how many, and with whom
to have children (page 13)
• access support and services that respect
their dignity, autonomy, privacy and
well-being (page 15)
