I’m actually more concerned about THIS:

According to Shawn Moran, the vice president and spokesman for the National Border Patrol Council, scabies and lice are the two main infestations that his agents come across. He adds that chicken pox, measles, H1N1 and tuberculosis are also pretty common. Really, he says they see a whole gamut of diseases and that’s what his men are most concerned with.

Don’t be so fast to believe doctors and CDC on how this disease is transmitted. Think back through the years and remember how wrong they have been on issues. Some new research...

If proper quarantine measures are enforced, no problem. If they're not you'll know they haven't been when Ebola wipes out the large queer community in Atlanta.

“American Ebola Patient Arrives in US”

James Woods (the actor) tweeted: “Sounds like the first line in a Stephen King novel.”

Or a Michael Crichton book...

My daughter is a med student at Emory. She said that the medical professionals there are decidedly nonplussed by Dr. Brantley's arrival and stay. In their eyes, the area around Grady and Emory is replete with TB and other serious diseases and the CDC is packed with some of the scariest viruses known to man. Security at Emory is high and these people know what they are doing.

That the social media is all in a tizzy doesn't surprise me. Too bad they cant get up in arms about stuff that actually matters, such as the president systematically unraveling the Constitution. Nope, lets go ape over professionals handling a medical case in the way they were trained.

Something is not adding up.

His condition has been described as grave. Yet he steps down from the ambulance with minimal assist from just one aide. He then walks to the doorway being led by his hands, but no support. No evidence of oxygen. His gait is slow, but steady.

Me thinks he might be a decoy.

Based on the video at the link the article title is complete bullshit.

how not to spread the disease.

Good grief!

I’m glad this Christian missionary is going to get the treatment he needs (and Emory is equipped to do it). My understanding is that he was to be transported under secure conditions, with a specially equipped plane, etc.

However, I don’t know why he couldn’t have been moved by that specially equipped plane to some other point in Africa where a special clinic was set up for the purpose and treated and cured there before being brought home.

May God bless him and may ebola not spread here.

Of course, as open as our border is, if we have an outbreak, it will likely be by any number of people allowed to come here freely (and in droves) from Africa. There are apparently Africans who have gained citizenship here who go back and forth frequently.

There should be an absolute prohibition of any entry to our country for any person who has been to Africa for the last year, unless they are quarantined beyond the incubancy period and a safe period thereafter before they come here. (In addition to all of our borders being shut and our airports prepared to prevent people from leaving their planes if they shouldn’t be here.)

It’s legal to knowingly bring in people who have a deadly highly contagious disease? We have no laws against this?

He ***walked** into the hospital. If so, then how “gravely” ill could he be?

So, the real patient zero, was already in the United States. Down border entranced, with the “kids”, and their dispersal anonymously- to basically anonymous towns, was an “illusion.” Well done!

A disaster waiting to happen.

A classic media created crisis in order to gin up viewership..........

I'm surprised they haven't thrown in "global pandemic" just to increase the angst........LOL!

My advice to everyone is to stay home, keep your doors locked and for heavens sake, don't drive anywhere until this nation has been given the all clear signal.

That should cut down on the traffic and make my driving a little easier............

Yes, he's such an expert medical professional that he contracted the deadly disease he went overseas to treat... then comes home with the deadly disease to be treated... by a Govt that's allowing diseased individuals to walk freely into the country by the thousands.

Move along people, nothing to see here...
