Thoughts on the two patients being flown from Africa with Ebola?

[Maury V.]

You think they planted the virus, and then got extracted when plan A failed?

No no, it's the fact that they're being released so soon. I'm no doctor but I would think they would keep Dr. Brantly and the other victim isolated for a few more weeks to ensure the serum had no ill side-effects. We'll know right away if something happens.

I currently live in the city where Dr. Brantly is from (Abilene, Texas) and if anything happens, who knows what this city will do.

Of course, Ebola is a horrible disease, but you have to enter in contact with body's fluids like feces to contract it.
And with western hygienic standards it's quite hard.

It's not like flu, if not we would have million of dead people in Africa.

It's a good point, if it can only kill a few hundred people in Africa, the continent of piss and shit, then in the west only spitting football players will be hit hard by this. Win win.

I heard Ebola is all the rage amongst teens these days

 

[SouthtownKid]

I think maybe flying their families out to Africa would've made more sense. The risk of bringing the Ebola virus here is not worth it IMO.

I don't know how that's a lot better. Fly a bunch of people to some Ebola-infested area of Africa, then bring 'em on back. Also seems like not a great plan.

You know what's cool? Skype.

This is what got me...the complete selfishness of the people involved.

IF I went out of country and IF I came down with some horrible sickness...I would never attempt to come back to the states to say my goodbyes...not in a world with internet and this level of connectivity. I would not put that many people at risk to accomplish one last act of selfishness...

Well you're healthy right now, so it's easy to say that when you know you're not infected with a disease that has a kill rate of 50% at the moment.

So in 21 days or so, we will know when the world is fucked...GGPO

Federal officials have said that the patient's temperature was checked when he boarded a commercial airliner on Sept. 19 and he did not have a fever.

I hate to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but why were they taking his temp back in September?

And why the "contact" with a bunch of children that attend 4 different schools?

 

[HDRchampion]

Damn we are fucked! 4 Schools? You know kids don't like to wash their hands & shit...I like how they keep saying is very unlikely these kids have the virus, its very unlikely this can spread, its very unlikely fuck you!

Why the fuck are people allowed to leave a country that has an epidemic going on...Im curious exactly who is conducting these testing before boarding a plane. What are they using to scan for symptoms...

Not it's not...I know like I know my name I would not put my family at risk just to see them face to face before I die.

I like how they are always saying don't panic, even when shit is getting riskier/worse.

FUCK THEM. This shit really seems intentional.

That's because everyone now is a malignant narcissist with severe entitlement issues. We have successfully created an entire generation of them, worldwide.

Just wait until the weather starts to cool. Rather than flu season we'll have ebola season.

That really is one of the things that has puzzled me about it for a very long time. Why is it found in naturally (maybe not) in an area that is not its ideal living conditions. When you go back in years to information about previous outbreaks of years long past there was some information abut this. The idea that in colder less humid climates that it can spread through the same methods as influenza A, is quite disturbing to think about if it were to get a foothold here.

 

[bklyn4ever]

Well now that we have officially had our 1st diagnosed case on US soil it is only a matter of ti e before we see many more cases. I love to travel, however, this is the problem we can potentially bring things back!

Times like these make me glad I live in wyoming

 

[Evilpoptart]

Maybe I should start watching those crazy bastards on "Preppers" Perhaps they aren't so crazy after all...

 

[smokehouse]

Riots...famine, energy shortages, society's demise...you can prep for those things (kinda). The government blowing you to pieces? A virus? Yeah...not so much. If the government wants to send a missile at your home or run it over with a tank...not much you can do about that. If a nasty virus spreads through the populous...no gun/food ration is going to stop that either.

So, we might have patient number two in the US. Not confirmed yet, but a patient in DC has been admitted to Howard University Hospital with ebola like symptoms. Twenty-one days and counting.
