Anybody heard what precautions are being taken at sewer treatment plants? All that vomit and stuff needs to go somewhere — how long can the virus survive downstream?

I have a great idea:

Lets send Reid, Polski, obola, and his big a$$ wife, Bohner, McPain all to Africa to take care of this “pandemic” and bring our military back from there since they fight “wars” not “diseases”

knowing homeland security and the dopes at TSA, they’d probably provide a complimentary wheelchair to cart the Ebola riddled corpse/carcass around the airport.

Any turd squeezers out there to answer this question? I’m familiar with the entire process, but would prefer a certified waste treatment operator answer you. (A Turd Squeezer)

The virus can only survive a few days on a dry surface.

In a wet environment full of feces..... at least 82 days.

Think of all the possibly contaminated voting booths! We had better put off the elections until we can decontaminate all public polling centers to assure the safety of our citizens!

The Dems and their lapdogs in the media are worried about this hurting them in November. They couldn’t care less about dead Americans.

As slow as the WH reacts to things the election will be long over before the first oven gets lit.

Strategists said part of the problem for Democrats is that Ebola is drowning out their main campaign messages, particularly on the improving economy.

WTF? Does that refer to the fabricated numbers the BLS puts out every week?

I think halting this election for anything short of a global thermonuclear war would get VERY ugly quickly.
