Personally, I would like to know under what circumstances the children “who recently traveled to West Africa” came to be there. The phrase ‘to West Africa” to me means they were taken there by their parents and then brought back.

If this is the case, given what’s been going on here in the news for two months, what kind of parent would do this?

I sure hope it's malaria. (That feels so weird to say!)

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

(Since all records of obama's past were lost in a tragic boating accident and fire, no one can be certain that the guy in the red circle isn't him...)

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

Yes....unfortunately I kinda knew...but one could hope, couldn’t they?

I guess they’re the same kind of idiots that believed Friedan’s “Just wash your hands” crap.

We replaced the title and link to the news aggregator/blog site with the title and link to the original article. Please just post original articles rather than news aggregator/blog versions of the same.

Also it would be helpful if you included in your response posts in this thread, the locations, such as City and State, for each of your links to related articles.

Thanks.

Who in their right mind would take a child to visit West Africa?

Symptoms of a fever? I thought fever was a symptom of another problem not the problem itself.

Why would Somalis visit West Africa when Somalia is in East Africa?
