Ebola evacuations to US greater than previously known
Yahoo News ^ | 9/9/14 | Jason Sickles

Posted on 09/09/2014 1:57:28 PM PDT by Kartographer

An undisclosed number of people who’ve been exposed to the Ebola virus — not just the four patients publicly identified with diagnosed cases — have been evacuated to the U.S. by an air ambulance company contracted by the State Department.

“We moved a lot of other people who had an exposure event,” said Dent Thompson, vice president of Phoenix Air Group. “Many times these people are just fine, they just had an exposure. But you have to treat it as though the disease is present.”

How many exposed patients have been flown from West Africa to the U.S.? Thompson said medical privacy laws and his company’s contract with the State Department prevent him from revealing the figure.

“I’m not avoiding it,” Thompson told Yahoo News. “I’m just not allowed to talk about it.”

Not allowed to talk about it.

For all we know there are many more full blown cases.

Obama takes this danger to Americans as seriously as one would expect.

Yeah, we’re arrogant. Can’t happen here, even if we bring them back. Couldn’t be any worse than the Black Plague or the Spanish Flu.

“Many times these people are just fine”

And how many times are these people not just fine?

Hey, hey no need for panic! The resident FR Ebola experts have assured us it is no more dangerous than transporting someone with a hang nail.

Remember Obama's African Leaders Summit about six weeks ago?

That was the purpose of the Summit, to guarantee access for the powerful and connected to American treatment here in the United States. The timing supports my case.

You have to wonder whether some of those brought back to the US are Peace Corps volunteers who were serving in or near the affected areas. And of course there are the US military advisors Obama has sprinkled over the African continent, too, who come to mind as well.

The military and federal employees are always involved in Ebola outbreaks, just not as rank and file soldiers or clinic operators.

Flooding our country with Ebola victims may be a conscious effort on the part of the aliens currently administering our government to inflict further harm. Sooner or later the “Bug” is bound to escape into the general population.

Since it is a State Dept.contract we can safely assume that diplomats and family have priority flying ambulance evacuation. Might be a visiting VIP there, but if they’re really VIP’s they wouldn’t be there, would they.

African head of state is a possibility.

Can’t talk about Ebola cases, can’t talk about where the illegals were dumped, can’t talk about Benghazi book. Can’t talk about much with 0bola in charge.
