Who wants to bet this is because of the new Ebola Czar? The New York Times has an article about the travel ban (how we shouldn’t do that....but we should quarantine)......too much is coming together at once for this story to be a coincidence.
People should panic when a disease with a mortality rate of 70-90%.....that is normal. Yet we are told not to.
This administration will literally have the blood of US citizens on its hands before too long.
No one says anything and they continue to have her ... one customer is three times a week ... make work, IMO .. but hey .. Liza's happy to work, earn money and I can surf FR unencumbered ...
If the disease doesn’t kill us, the litigation will........
How would the passengers see them? There are no passengers on the plane while they are cleaning it.
Anyway, the cleaning team for all airlines should be wearing PPE.
The new Ebola Czar is a "political operative" -- because hemorrhagic fever is, above all, a political problem.
Following protocol and protecting your employees? Bad idea because it harms the corporate image.
Our society doesn't live in Reality, we live in some weird parallel universe where appearances count for more than fact.
Drug czar?
Are corporations ever going to remember that tge government works for us?
Maybe after they go under?
Are people still flying non essentially? Because that is coming
I haven’t flown in a few years so things may have changed but since when are the cleaning crews under the public’s eye?
Perception will be a much larger problem than the disease. Our economy could possibly suffer greatly due to fear.....not reality.
I sure would not want to own Frontier stock unless it was to short them. Companies are going to get hammered along with the rest of us.
Please call congress and tell them that we must be deadly serious about containing Ebola by strict quarantine within the United States and from infected nations. This is our right and our duty and it is THEIR duty to protect US.
Capitol switchboard is 202-224-3121 or Google your congressman or senator and get his contact information and call him / her office directly. You can also call or go to their local offices.
I believe decisive response is urgent because you can’t put this Ebola genie back in the bottle once it gets out. It is a fire, it consumes all the fuel it can get and the fuel is people. The only way to stop a fire is to block it from the fuel or cool it with water. A vaccine or medicine to treat Ebola would be the water and we don’t have reliable, enough or any.
Every possible measure must be taken to stop the spread before draconian measures are imposed. What is being done now is sloppy. We are walking a dangerous road. The threat is blossoming by the day if not hour. Almost every hour there is some new Ebola development and none of them are good. This is a serious and potentially deadly event. Unchecked it could destroy or weaken the United States and facilitate our destruction by others. It has that potential for every country and that is why so many are responding with such strict quarantines. These consequences, no matter how small the probabilities, demand a full effort and significant response.
Ebola is being spread here in the United States right now. First Texas, then Ohio then? Terror is an excellent weapon. It disrupts, confuses, paralyzes and destroys a society. Many others and we on FR have speculated that terrorists may spread Ebola. How do you that remember 9/11 feel right now compared to what you felt then? Do you want to gather your loved ones near you to protect them? I do. Even more than I did on September 11, 2001! Isn’t this passive response by this administration accomplishing the very same things a terrorist would want?
When something is being done that makes as little sense as what Obama is doing there has to be some other reason. I leave it to you dear reader to draw your own conclusions as to the reasons.
What is happening now is insane. It makes no sense at all. For example the head of CDC says: “Stopping travel from Africa won’t do any good because you have to get people into Africa to fight Ebola.” “You can’t get Ebola from an infected person on a bus but an infected person should never be on a bus because he can infect others.” “Blocking travel from infected countries would damage their fragile economies.” What about ours? What about our safety? What about resources we have paid for that should be protecting us?
Even the most despotic dictatorship in Africa has acted to protect his nation by strict quarantine and stopping travel from infected countries. Even CDC, the UN and WHO advocate and credit strict quarantine for nipping the spread of Ebola in the bud at the source in places like Senegal and Nigeria where both have had faster and more successful outbreak controls than we have had here. 35 countries have stopped travel of people from infected West African countries. It is so obvious even a child could understand it so why is it OK for people from infected countries to travel here?
I will post this message and keep posting it until someone stops me.
