The Ebola Virus
 

That kills 90% of those infected.

The worst outbreak so far and spreading.

Should we stop planes from Africa from entering the U.S.?

We should also be concerned about diseases, entering through our southern border.

You might this article of interest, graciegirl. It looks like a great deal of planning has gone into preventing an epidemic like this spreading in the US.

yes! Plus shut down the Southern border and implement existing laws for legal entry ONLY!

After all the security screw ups at the CDC regarding baD handling and controlling of deadly virus materials why should we feel their is any ACTUAL controls or prevention in place? How confident the proposed plan even works?
And like so many other issues of significance, administration/implementation/ENFORCEMENT?

I am concerned we have defaulted to words being considered as actions as proven to be the case far to many times on very serious issues.

ENFORCEMENT????????

I am not sure how we can have any kind of impact on the workings of the CDC and ICE https://www.ice.gov/ along the border. Maybe, the media picking up this concern will make medical workers in that area more vigilant for ebola and diseases like it coming across the border.

Could Ebola sneak across U.S. border?

I think many pandemics have spread through travel, from the Bubonic Plague to HIV which originated in Africa as many diseases that affect humans have since most of our evolution occurred there. I fly frequently and mostly change planes in Phoenix. Probably 80% of the conversations I overhear in the PHX terminals are not in English. Many travelers are dressed in their native attire - and that is PHX, not JFK or LAX.

NOOOOOOOOOOO! Gracie, don't suggest that, how will I get home in December?:cryin2:

Hey, Mix, did GG for Gov lose your vote?

Just googled this up, since we are all gloomy doomy on totv.

I'm looking forward to some comic relief when the movie shark NATO gets here.
Darn AutoCorrect, that's Sharknado, thanks to towel for the heads up. Thats Tal, not towel, and i will not use an Oster fee, i mean apostrophe.

Not to minimize ebola, but Florida is number one in chikungunya cases. It's not deadly, but painful.

Never, she has my vote, but how can I vote if I can't get home from Africa?

A-bowl-of virus: That's a lot of virus!

I read on a CNN news feed that they are bringing an American doctor and nurse back to the US because they have been infected. Hmmmmmm

Hopefully they will get better care and survive. I believe they are legal as well!

Yes, that's true, they are bringing them in on a special plane for quarantine reasons and will whisk them away to keep under quarantine while they try to save their lives.

Also, FYI, there is a huge US=Africa Leaders Summit in Washington next week and most high level governments from most of Africa have been invited to attend. However, at least 3 of the most highly effected countries have backed out of the Summit due to their countries being the ones with the highest percent of the virus. Very upstanding of them to be that considerate.
