Travelers from Ebola-affected countries to be monitored for 3 weeks
All travelers coming from Ebola-affected areas will be actively monitored for 21 days starting Monday, CDC Director Dr. Thomas Frieden announced in a telebriefing on Wednesday. Contact information including email, two phone numbers and a physical U.S. address will be gathered from all people coming to the U.S. from Liberia, Guinea or Sierra Leone, Frieden said.

Immigration loses track of MILLIONS who overstay their visas. So I have the fullest confidence they will successfully monitor these people for 21 days. Snark
Obama loves this. Haven’t heard a thing about Benghazi or the gun running. It’s not even about ebola. It’s all about Africa.
Remember, there are 150 people per day coming from Ebola-land. Good luck with that; you’re gonna need it.
PING!
More Kabuki theater. It’s the Czar putting up an Ebola Potemkin Village to calm the Serfs.

“More Kabuki theater. It’s the Ebola Czar putting up an Ebola Potemkin Village to calm the Serfs.”
Yep, just more Kabuki theater in Obama’s Phony War on Ebola.
Why are the so called experts at CDC, Homeland Security and TSA not stepping up and doing their job to protect Americans from passenger fly ins with Ebola or exposed to Ebola in countries raging with deadly Ebola, without banning or severely restricting air travel from Africa?
They don’t want to. Again, this is a prime example of the need to use Cui Bono, the old Latin phrase which asks the question, “Who benefits?”
o Cui Bono or who benefits with no real travel restrictions from Africa to the USA?:
1. The airlines, which fly people and freight from and to Africa.
2. The businesses which service the air lines and need their business.
3. The need of our left wing progressives to have another unending “war” like the war on poverty. A war on Ebola is the ultimate wet dream of liberals, who never let a good crisis go to waste.
#1 and #2 above are obvious to any of us with half a brain.
#3. Requires a little explanation. A War on Ebola will make the War on Poverty look like a very small wet puddle compared to a full scale and large flood like Noah’s.
A liberal/progressive War on Ebola will require us to hire millions of people with worthless degrees and/or psychiatric problems to fight this war. We will have shore to shore facilities to provide offices for these previously unhireables. They will require hundreds of thousands of supervisors to motivate and to monitor them and to waste money like VA hospital administrators do now.
Our worthless State Department will expand our embassies around the world to the size of the one in Baghdad to house and office the warriors of the Kabuki War on Ebola.
Moosella and Jill Biden and the worthless Follywood idols will do thousands of PSAs telling us to spend our time and money supporting the Kabuki War on Ebola.
They will start marches, marathons and other BS social circle jerks to raise money and to support the Kabuki War on Ebola.
They will pour gallons of ice water or whatever on sports idols and Follywood idols to support the Kabuki War on Ebola.
Our military will no longer fight Isis and bad guys, they will be included in the great War on Ebola. Barrack E Obolabama has started that process with our troops in and being sent to Western Africa to fight Ebola.
None of the above will save lives. Like the long time Kabuki War on Poverty and other expensive liberal wastes, this fight Ebola will thrive without any real positive results. Each death from Ebola will result in more money and more worthless people involved in the Kabuki War on Ebola.
They will tie the War on Ebola in with Global Warming to take away any rights we have left.
Monitoring, and NOT quarantine?
And we knew that “monitoring” worked so well.
Nigeria is now declared Ebola-free. Study up on the methods they used to achieve this most estimable status.
Monitored while they attend the Alabama/Auburn game, tour NYC, shop at busy malls, travel on crowded busses and subways or take a cruise?
What THEY hear: "Time to get on a bus, or a plane! How about a short cruise for 21 days! Lets go to Disney World!"
AFAIK, Nigeria doesn’t have resources to waste like the United States does. If we didn’t have tons of people so delusional to the status of our nation, Ebola likely wouldn’t be an issue for Americans, much less within the U.S.
Monitored for three weeks, that's over 3,000 people being monitored at any one time!
I'm not convinced that three weeks is enough. Isn't the problem if people from "EbolaLand" (love it) come to the US and engage in whatever practices caused the emergence and spread of the disease there?
Why? We were told by Obama (actually by his teleprompter)that it is highly unlikey ebola will find its way here?
Doesn’t everyone trust him>
Does this apply to Liberian Nationals coming to see how good our health care system is?
Why?
There is no one actively screening at the ports of egress in that country and just because a few thousand people died, doesn’t mean all people can die.
Hell, newrly 20,000 people died from MRSA in this country, in the last year and we don’t see them on the news...anymore.
I’m confused here...It is not possible to get Obola from someone who was in an Obola country, but it is possible for someone from an Obola country to infect others...This is so difficult to understand, the people with the CDC must be the smartest people in the universe...
Just went to the oncologist. They are asking everyone if: they’ve traveled to West Africa in the last 3 weeks, if they know anyone with Ebola, if I’ve had any fever, throwing up or one other thing....can’t remember.
“I wonder if anyone has run the cost incurred national for Thomas Duncan’s trip to America?”
I’ve heard a low number of $500K and a high number of a cool $1M. Clearly, only a racist country/hospital/medical staff would spend so little....
Because they’ve done so well making monitoring lists and keeping track of those people. NOT.
There’s only so much we can really do about MRSA, you are talking about a disease that even in hospitals can cause infection because it is resistant to both cleaning chemicals as well as antibiotics. MRSA has been around for a long time. However, Ebola is something that a clearly weak effort was made to control the spread. It potentially could be extremely deadly if children get infected by it, or if it makes it’s way into places such as te homeless people. What’s even worse is the fact that we are left with uncertainty given both flu season and the fact that early Ebola symptoms are so similar to the flu, and treatment that has allowed survival needs to be done ASAP. The fear so far is the worst factor. Pray that it stays that way.
