Just ask Duncan, oh wait, nevermind, he’s no longer available to comment.

IDK, but I would trust my ear thermometer which I have compared against my mouth, and armpit results for accuracy, sooner than a remote infrared scan.

of course its fair...

a black guy from West Africa with Ebola in a plane with lots of white American grannies and white high school boys..

Ebola Man using the toilet, touching the back of the seat, touching the door knobs, his luggage banging against you as he gets on and off the plane, etc

and then theres that walk around in bare feet or socks in the TSA area, and the gloves on the TSA agents hands as he or she handles him and his luggage and then you and your luggage..

Lots of chances to make it fair and spread the love errr disease around..

and if the workers at La Guardia don’t want to clean the plane why would you want to sit in it for hours breathing in the same air shared by Ebola Man..

Eventually, there will be a travel ban from West Africa. The CDC is foolishly trying to delay it. Ironically, they are putting their own credibility on the line for politics.

The October surprise from the G-d of Israel perhaps is a pandemic brought on flights to the country that banned flights to Israel. The only bright spot might be to get a private glimpse on the face of Obola when he realizes he chose the wrong side...

They need to stop taking passengers here who have recently been to the affected countries.

Just lie our dead patient in Dallas, many people will lie.

"Have you traveled to Liberia, Sierra Leone, or Guinea?"

"No. You can even see my ticket is from Brussels (or Paris, or London)."

Most are making a connection anyways, and they will lie if the choice is between a lie and being turned back.

I think our government is no longer our government.

Have you heard of passports, which are generally marked when people enter or leave countries?

[Pollster1]

My experience was that when I entered France from Africa, my passport was stamped for France but not for the country I left. My experience was also that many countries stamped passports with an Arabic script that I would not expect customs officers to be able to read, and that the stamps do not go in order. I don’t know if that is still true, but it used to be true. It’s quite possible that our customs officers would not figure it out if a traveler lied about travel to Liberia, even one with a Liberian passport.

“Oh, I’ve been studying in Paris all year, and they stamped my passport when I came back to France from Italy.”
