They had 20 with 8 deaths. They have no known cases now. Perhaps you missed my point, the key word is “success”.

This isn’t Nigeria, we have rights here and you can’t be quarantined if you don’t want to be.

The CDC personnel watched 900 in Nigeria and that worked out fine. 20 got sick, 8 died, the rest were not infected, but tracked in case they were.

Wrong. Local health authorities can order you to stay where you are or be arrested.

No, he was stupid, not criminal. Obola deserves life in prison for letting him in.

Law on the books mean squat. They were not used during the Aids outbreak. In fact, they haven’t been used since the late 50s anywhere in this country.

Actually take 5 days out, since it has been about that long already.

Just 18 more days...

The last time strict, forced quarantine was used in this country was for the control of TB. That ended late 50s to early 60s. Before it ended, suspected cases were forced to stay at sanatoriums run by the state untill they received a clean bill of health.

Also, Ellis Island and other points of entry had forced quarantine of suspect disease carriers. None of this is done now, and can not be done under existing law.

“monitoring” suspected cases is not quarantine.

When all these people get sick—Obama can cancel the elections—due to the crisis. 100 years of Democrat rule! What state better to punish than Texas?

Do you think this Ebola scare plus the entero-virus (now causing polio like paralysis in some cases) will cause people to actually force the border closed?
