“If you like your Ebola free United States, you can keep your Ebola free United States” could be another Barack Obama promise. Just another in the long time of promises with, as Jim Geraghty of National Review has noted, comes with an expiration date. This one set on September 20, 2014, when the Ebola patient arrived in Dallas carrying the disease.
Since then, the Obama administration has been asked about stopping flights into West African countries where Ebola is a problem. Their position is to keep the flights going. But don’t worry. We are taking people’s temperature before they board the flights.
Compare this to the Obama administration banning flights to Israel back in July. It turned out to be a political stunt quickly cancelled after Senator Ted Cruz threatened to block State Department appointments unless questions were answered. The administration claimed that rockets fired by Hamas put flights in jeopardy despite none of the rockets coming close to the airport.

I have nothing but contempt for this man and his Administration.
I took my grandson’s temperature yesterday and it was OK.
Guess I can safely say he does not have Obola...
Yep.
If ebola was from Europe, flights would be shut down and F-16s would be patrolling the Atlantic.
Thank you for posting this, Jim. An interesting illustration of Barky’s priorities.
Funny this is hitting the public consciousness. I thought the same exact thing when I first saw Obamugabe wasn’t going to move to stop flights from Ebola-stricken nations.
Are there any direct flights to the USA from these countries?
Isn’t it about time for some patriots to step up and end the juvenile, irresponsible Obama regime? Problem is, there’s very few patriots in Congress these days.
ok, I’ll ask the elephant in the room question: how many of the inflicted rushing to the USA for treatment are muslim?
Could he do something about American companies landing in these countries?
“Are there any direct flights to the USA from these countries?”
And of course our wonderful “American-based airlines” will put profits over protection of their customers and continue to fly to Africa and to accept interlining passengers that have come to them through European gateway airports. Just wonder when the pilots unions are going to speak up, or better still start refusing to man those flights.
There are direct flights and even non-stop flights.

"White House Won't Restrict Flights to and From Ebola Countries"
I know I'm dreaming but I'd like to see what happens.
Obama will lie...when the cases get high...
That’s Ebola.
To America they’ll fly...when the fever gets high...
That’s Ebola.
When the cases get high... Hop a plane to the sky...
That’s Ebola.
When your fever gets high... and you puke pizza pie...
That’s Ebola.
Come sing-a-ling, come sing-a-ling, come sing-a-ling.
When the fever is high...with pain in your thigh...
That’s Ebola.
When the blood starts to flow...on a plane you will go...
That’s Ebola.
That’s Ebola.
When the world starts to spin...like you drank to much gin..
That’s Ebola.
I hate to agree on this one... but I think you're right.
We're going to allow these people to potentially kill us because they're black.

PREVENTION
PARAPHRASING SOCRATES, THE CDC ADMITES THAT ALL THEY KNOW IS THAT THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT EBOLA.
CDC edited out the following text on Sept 19:
Because we still do not know exactly how people are infected with Ebola, few primary prevention measures have been established and no vaccine exists. When cases of the disease do appear, risk of transmission is increased within healthcare settings. Therefore, healthcare workers must be able to recognize a case of Ebola and be ready to use practical viral hemorrhagic fever isolation precautions or barrier nursing techniques. They should also have the capability to request diagnostic tests or prepare samples for shipping and testing elsewhere.
Why did the CDC edit all of that information out? Did the science change, or did the government make the edit for some other reason(s)?
There is no FDA-approved vaccine available for Ebola.
If you travel to or are in an area affected by an Ebola outbreak, make sure to do the following: •
Practice careful hygiene. Avoid contact with blood and body fluids. •
Do not handle items that may have come in contact with an infected person’s blood or body fluids. •
Avoid funeral or burial rituals that require handling the body of someone who has died from Ebola. •
Avoid contact with bats and nonhuman primates or blood, fluids, and raw meat prepared from these animals. •
Avoid hospitals where Ebola patients are being treated. The U.S. embassy or consulate is often able to provide advice on facilities. •
After you return, monitor your health for 21 days and seek medical care immediately if you develop symptoms of Ebola(http://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/symptoms/index.html).
Healthcare workers who may be exposed to people with Ebola should follow these steps: •
Wear protective clothing, including masks, gloves, gowns, and eye protection. •
Practice proper infection control and sterilization measures. For more information, see “Infection Control for Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers in the African Health Care Setting”. •
Isolate patients with Ebola from other patients. •
direct contact with the bodies of people who have died from Ebola. •
Notify health officials if you have had direct contact with the blood or body fluids, such as but not limited to, feces, saliva, urine, vomit, and semen of a person who is sick with Ebola. The virus can enter the body through broken skin or unprotected mucous membranes in, for example, the eyes, nose, or mouth.
OBAMA OPEN US BORDERS TO A DOUBLE WHAMMY - TERRORISM AND EBOLA
Doomsday warning: UN Ebola chief raises 'nightmare' prospect that virus could mutate and become airborne - making it much more infectious
United Nations warns Ebola virus currently plaguing West Africa could become airborne
The longer it moves between human hosts the greater possibility of mutation.
The risk grows the longer virus is living within the human 'melting pot' NGOs have said the Ebola virus is currently infecting five people every hour.
More than 3,300 people have died from Ebola since the outbreak first began.
Officials call for 1,000 new Sierra Leone isolation centres to contain virus British survivor says 'horror' of children dying from disease must be avoided.

From Pigs to Monkeys, Ebola Goes Airborne
Nov 21, 2012 | Jane Huston | Research & Policy –

Ebola has a 21 days incubation period before the infested person show symptoms. The CDC maintains that a person infested with Ebola cannot transmit it until they show symptoms of the disease. How can they assure that the person cannot infest another person after 10, 15, or 19 days of being infested by the virus while still not showing symptoms of the virus? The CDC falsely assure the American people that it cannot be transmitted by air although studies in Canada seems to prove otherwise.
When news broke that the Ebola virus had resurfaced in Uganda, investigators in Canada were making headlines of their own with research indicating the deadly virus may spread between species, through the air. The team, comprised of researchers from the National Centre for Foreign Animal Disease, the University of Manitoba, and the Public Health Agency of Canada, observed transmission of Ebola from pigs to monkeys.
They first inoculated a number of piglets with the Zaire strain of the Ebola virus. Ebola-Zaire is the deadliest strain, with mortality rates up to 90 percent. The piglets were then placed in a room with four cynomolgus macaques, a species of monkey commonly used in laboratories. The animals were separated by wire cages to prevent direct contact between the species. Within a few days, the inoculated piglets showed clinical signs of infection indicative of Ebola infection.
In pigs, Ebola generally causes respiratory illness and increased temperature. Nine days after infection, all piglets appeared to have recovered from the disease. Within eight days of exposure, two of the four monkeys showed signs of Ebola infection. Four days later, the remaining two monkeys were sick too. It is possible that the first two monkeys infected the other two, but transmission between non-human primates has never before been observed in a lab setting.
While the study provided evidence that transmission of Ebola between species is possible, researchers still cannot say for certain how that transmission actually occurred. There are three likely candidates for the route of transmission: airborne, droplet, or fomites.
Airborne and droplet transmission both technically travel through the air to infect others; the difference lies in the size of the infective particles. Smaller droplets persist in the air longer and are able to travel farther- these droplets are truly “airborne.” Larger droplets can neither travel as far nor persist for very long.
What do these findings mean? First and foremost, Ebola is not suddenly an airborne disease.
Doctor Boards Atlanta Flight In HazMat Suit To Protest "Lying CDC"
Zero Hedge ^ | 10/2/14 | Tyler Durden
"If they're not lying, they are grossly incompetent," said Dr. Gil Mobley, a microbiologist and emergency trauma physician from Springfield, Mo. as he checked in and cleared Atlanta airport security wearing a mask, goggles, gloves, boots and a hooded white jumpsuit emblazoned on the back with the words, "CDC is lying!" As The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports, Mobley says the CDC is "sugar-coating" the risk of the virus spreading in the United States.
You are 100% right..
Thank you. I’ll bet there is a LOt they don’t know. I remember the AIDS stuff when I was in college. First warning was just to gay guys about transmission. They didn’t have a clue it was going to end up in the blood supply. At one time, medicine didn’t believe that drugs/illnesses would break through the placenta barrier in pregnancy or drugs impacting the brain. This Administration is like Baghdad Bob. I’m continually amazed by them, but I shouldn’t be by now.
Until the first Journalist is impacted, all we will see by the usual suspects in the official MSM-arm-of-the White House, is White House propaganda.
