DeKalb Schools blocks two from school amid Ebola concerns

Two Dunwoody students who recently returned from West Africa were blocked from enrolling in DeKalb schools this week as a precaution against the spread of Ebola.

DeKalb school officials said the father worked for CARE, a humanitarian organization, as a finance controller in the Liberia/Sierra Leone office. He returned to the United States on Sept. 14 with his family and tried to enroll the children Wednesday at Dunwoody Elementary and Dunwoody High.

Let’s see, patients in Dallas (TX), one moved to GA...both Republican states. Any coincidence?

I'm upset with the shananigans so far, but I honestly don't see this going absolutely out of control here.

They would have to really screw things up for that to happen.  I am concerned, but I also think some common sense will kick in at some point.

Even Obola can't duck blame 100%.  He has to cover his rump some way.  He can't let this turn into a raging explosion.

I followed the link at work; looks like SHTF Plan is persona non grata at my agency.

PING!

Really? Perhaps there are more, many more Ebola infected patients in the U.S. about who we haven’t been informed?

I expect a plan from the jihadists to infect about ten of their comrades with Ebola, and fly them over. Here, once infectious, they’ll all travel cross-country, smearing their snot/saliva at every little gas-pump, every little quickie-mart door, every restaurant table, as they go along. Traveling right across the various interstates, going through every part of the country. Before they eventually succumb.

“But is it time to do that now?”

Depends on where you are...

If you are in Dallas, it is worth considering.
In my area? It’s time to start planning for it, at least. 30 days?

Normal Midwest rural Winter planning will take care of a lot of it. Here you’ve got to be ready to stay in for a couple of weeks (sometimes without power) every year, anyway.

Already have plastic for the windows and the camper (normal stuff), and I’m already gathering wood (First time we’ll use a lot of wood will be this winter, despite a large fireplace and being here for 11 years.)

Got a new, larger genny this spring, as well. Need to lay in some water, some canned meats, and we’re good, with an LP backup being the camper. Defense is another matter, entirely.

The REAL question is, what happens if the infrastructure starts to break down. Power, internet, etc. Communications will be tough, but that has solutions I already have.

Oh good grief.

Tell ya what. Those that believe this idiocy go hang our at Drudge’s house and we’ll call you when it’s over.

With the latest news that the Vinson lady has been sick for at least a week...and out in the wild...I'd say we have a very serious problem.

By the time another 20 or 30 are announced as testing positive it might be a little late to stock up on some things.

And NO TELLING what cities they will be in.

If you can't self quarantine at least Stay out of Wal-Mart.

President Ebola on TV now, looks nervous.

God only knows who the bimbo sitting next to him is.

[Brother Cracker]

[Bluestocking]

The fact that Obama took the extraordinary step yesterday of cancelling a fundraiser in order to deal with Ebola shows how dire the situation must be.

But maybe the dire situation in Obama’s view is not Ebola but a growing fear of a Republican landslide on Election Day. Would anyone be surprised if Obama decided to declare a state of emergency due to The Ebola Crisis and cancel the upcoming elections?

[TomGuy]

If it gets any closer, I am going to start wearing a sign:

Ebola Free Zone

That will stop it in its tracks!

Drudge is a bit of a kook ...

[RaceBannon]

well...you can guess what will happen to me next...

[Charles Martel]

I think Drudge was referring to what the Texas health workers are being asked to do. A bit too cryptic, IMO.
