DEVELOPING: A plane reportedly is being quarantined after landing in Chicago, and the investigation is said to involve the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Aviation officials in Chicago say the city's health department and fire department have responded to a flight that landed at Midway International Airport, but local police and fire officials told Fox News the CDC is handling it.

“I was visiting Uganda .. where I’m adopting two special needs kids. So we stayed at a hotel the other night and I think it left friends on my body. My son, who’s four and a half, had pustules on him” Bedbugs?
Seems pretty obvious folks; Avian Flu.
I remember in the semi-old days when you’d fly to Australia and New Zealand (and also the stop in Tahiti) when the plane landed, Immigration would board and do the “Baptismal Shower”.....walk down the aisle with aerosol disinfectant spritzing their way through the plane.
Don’t move to DC... that place is full of those Copper Headed Water Rattlers... and they are baaaaaad!
LLS
There have been hints that several diseases, once eradicated in this country have been re-introduced into this country.
I hope they sanitize those airplane seats. Really, all of them, if it is bedbugs, which apparently ARE now spreading into places like airplanes.
True that, but it's definitely not something I want the government involved in!
Mad Cow and now this. Someone is playing games.
Snip: According CBS Chicago, the rash was ultimately determined to be the result of bug bites, but only after the plane was surrounded by Chicago fire department trucks on the tarmac at Midway airport.
Maybe bed bugs? Hope they get a good exterminator to go over that plane. (I’m getting *itchy*.)
There are no limits to what professional thieves will attempt.
given the report of “sores”, ebola concern would be my bet....
pandemic flu just makes you turn purple and projectile vomit blood.

“Complacency - and especially that brand of complacency that finds it satisfying to sneer at the vigilant and prepared - is the true enemy.....”
Surely thou art not claiming TSAPersons are either vigilant or prepared for anything other than groping and stealing?
Maybe bed bugs? Hope they get a good exterminator to go over that plane. (I’m getting *itchy*.)

Q1. Do bedbugs create “postules”?
Q2. Would the government tell us the truth if it thought it would create panic?
A1. No.
A2. No.
Doubtful that it’s Ebola....she’d be dead by now but there are strains of Ebola in nearby Cote d’Ivoire and Sudan.
