Ping!
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.
Im not avoiding it, Thompson told Yahoo News. Im just not allowed to talk about it.
Not allowed BY WHOM?
is the glaringly elephant in the room question here....
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.
Holy cow.
Many times these people are just fine”
And how many times are these people not just fine?
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.
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.
Obama versus America.
Again.
Indeed. What could go wrong?
This is not news.
For example, the medical missionary organizations for whom Dr. Brantly and Nancy Writebol worked evacuated personnel as the epidemic grew. Writebol’s husband was among them.
They were flown back, but did not re-enter the population immediately. This group lived in voluntary quarantine in some isolated compound until it was obvious no infection was present. They lived in proximity to each other, but with no physical contact.
Makes perfect sense.
Private and cooperative evacuations are not a concern. A hot case on an airliner is — like the infected American/Liberian who tried his best to get back here but, thankfully, didn’t.
How lovely. Are they American citizens, or potential refugees once “cured”?
I’m sure that the CDP (Center for Disease Proliferation) knows what it’s doing, all is well.
A CDC employee was exposed to Ebola and was flown home by charter flight. That would account for one of the unidentified flights. Phoenix Air has contracts with CDC and DOD too.

If a private group or government is going to the expense and trouble to hire Phoenix Air to fly people home, those people are probably not walking around the general population. I agree with Jedediah, we need to worry about people on airliners, not Phoenix Air charters.
Here is the tail number of the Phoenix Air plane:

Bring Out Your Dead
Were gonna need
a bigger cart!
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 can’t they set up some Ebola treatment centers and quarantine sites on some Islands somewhere?
