Ebola on US shores

[YALE]

Add to that the virus is not spread like the flu and you have to come in contact with bodily fluids. Granted if the infected cough on you and spit gets in your eye you are fucked, but you are not going to catch it from sitting next to someone on the bus.

Yup. Humans don't make very good asymptomatic carriers for it, lol.

Fits in with what that x retired border guard was saying. HMMM

An employee of mine, a big Black African American in the truest sense, he is from Liberia. Well this asshole went home to Liberia a few weeks ago for R&R. Then went home to the US and will be back here in Afghanistan with me in 2 weeks. I am not fucking thrilled about this. His ass is getting quarantined. If I can get his return revoked and put him on medical leave of absence for a month in the US I will...our medics are mulling it over.

In Outbreak, the disease was spread by a monkey. CDC is now bringing the disease to Atlanta. I don't think that is a coincidence.

That seems a little over the top. If you are that worried just give him a blood test for it. This is not a fast spreading airborne illness. Being concerned and watchfull is one thing, but being that paranoid and quarrantining people with no symptoms is a bit over the top. It is about the same as if you quarrantined him because he was near people with HIV.

Why can't they treat them somewhere where it'd do some good...like Chicago or San Francisco...

By quarantine I was being a little over the top. Not like I can stick him in a connex and feed him through a slot. More like, make him stay on BAF for a week before he comes up here. His big problem is that he is one of those guys that doesn't know personal space. Stack on that his a BIG dude at 280lbs of solid black 6'3" mass and that he likes to pick us up and shake us around like rag dolls just to say hi.

Ebola is MORE contagious than HIV by the way.

I do not disagree at all. There is so much WTF going on I can't even keep track of it all lately.

I believe that history will show that eventually fate tired of their antics, and swatted them.

waiting for it to mutate and become airborne then we fucked.

They are bringing one of the infected US citizens to Atlanta. Watch this shit get out of their containment and spread like wildfire in the US. The death rate in Africa right now is 60%. Can you see the need now for FEMA to have all those plastic coffins in their inventory?

I mentioned opening up Alcatraz and retrofitting it for this. You get someone away from the mainland and can actually have a decent quarantine where those working on the issue are forced to stay there beyond the incubation time frame.

No wonder this board, and this forum specifically, are dead. Chicken Little mother fuckers. Lmgdao

Unless it changed overnight, they are bringing 2.

Yes, one to Atlanta Emory but now I am hearing it may be both there.

WHO say that the virus is moving even faster than expected.
