NEW HAVEN >> In the wake of an Ebola scare in New Haven Thursday, the state has ordered two individuals under quarantine, Mayor Toni Harp said.
Harp said local police visited neighborhoods near Edwards Street and Wooster Square Friday to alert residents that there were two individuals in their neighborhood under quarantine and to distribute a letter from Harp “that we are on top of it, and that they are safe,” Harp said.
A third individual currently at Yale-New Haven Hospital is also under quarantine as officials await a final decision from the CDC that the patient does not have the Ebola virus, as was preliminarily reported yesterday.

How is it that we can quarantine people suspected of having Ebola, but we APPARENTLY CANNOT ban travel from places where so many have been exposed to Ebola????
A third individual currently at Yale-New Haven Hospital is also under quarantine as officials await a final decision from the CDC that the patient does not have the Ebola virus.
Does this mean the other two have tested positive?
There are reports that people are saying they have ebola to get faster and better attention.
Anyone found to have done this should have $50,000 slapped on their bill.
Names!!!!
The government is starting to look like the Keystone Cops out there.
Obola is smiling today
One has preliminarily tested negative. But they are waiting for a second test to confirm.
My guess is that one person was in “close” contact with another. Wink wink.
How is it that we can quarantine people suspected of having Ebola, but we APPARENTLY CANNOT quarantine people that we KNOW have AIDS?
Well with AIDS it became a sympathetic disease to liberals because of who gets it.
Flu season is going to bankrupt the insurance industry with precautionary Ebola screenings and quarantines.
Please call congress and tell them that we must be deadly serious about containing Ebola by strict quarantine within the United States and from infected nations. This is our right and our duty and it is THEIR duty to protect US.
Capitol switchboard is 202-224-3121 or Google your congressman or senator and get his contact information and call him / her office directly. You can also call or go to their local offices.
I believe decisive response is urgent because you can’t put this Ebola genie back in the bottle once it gets out. It is a fire, it consumes all the fuel it can get and the fuel is people. The only way to stop a fire is to block it from the fuel or cool it with water. A vaccine or medicine to treat Ebola would be the water and we don’t have reliable, enough or any.
Every possible measure must be taken to stop the spread before draconian measures are imposed. What is being done now is sloppy. We are walking a dangerous road. The threat is blossoming by the day if not hour. Almost every hour there is some new Ebola development and none of them are good. This is a serious and potentially deadly event. Unchecked it could destroy or weaken the United States and facilitate our destruction by others. It has that potential for every country and that is why so many are responding with such strict quarantines. These consequences, no matter how small the probabilities, demand a full effort and significant response.
Ebola is being spread here in the United States right now. First Texas, then Ohio then? Terror is an excellent weapon. It disrupts, confuses, paralyzes and destroys a society. Many others and we on FR have speculated that terrorists may spread Ebola. How do you that remember 9/11 feel right now compared to what you felt then? Do you want to gather your loved ones near you to protect them? I do. Even more than I did on September 11, 2001! Isn’t this passive response by this administration accomplishing the very same things a terrorist would want?
When something is being done that makes as little sense as what Obama is doing there has to be some other reason. I leave it to you dear reader to draw your own conclusions as to the reasons.
What is happening now is insane. It makes no sense at all. For example the head of CDC says: “Stopping travel from Africa won’t do any good because you have to get people into Africa to fight Ebola.” “You can’t get Ebola from an infected person on a bus but an infected person should never be on a bus because he can infect others.” “Blocking travel from infected countries would damage their fragile economies.” What about ours? What about our safety? What about resources we have paid for that should be protecting us?
Even the most despotic dictatorship in Africa has acted to protect his nation by strict quarantine and stopping travel from infected countries. Even CDC, the UN and WHO advocate and credit strict quarantine for nipping the spread of Ebola in the bud at the source in places like Senegal and Nigeria where both have had faster and more successful outbreak controls than we have had here. 35 countries have stopped travel of people from infected West African countries. It is so obvious even a child could understand it so why is it OK for people from infected countries to travel here?
I will post this message and keep posting it until someone stops me.

How badly this is being handled!!
Mr. Kitty and I frequently go to a farmer’s market on Wooster Square on Saturday morning.
Even though I know there’s probably no chance of getting Ebola, I probably won’t be going tomorrow. Why? Cause the government has lied to ee too many times and I don’t trust them.
