Only good part is the guys flight path to Dallas.

Had a lay over in Brussels (basically the capital of the EU) and a lay over in Washington DC / Vichy DC.

Damn near smart bomb precision targeting there.

I was going to say too bad he didn't stop to take in a scUM game but I don't think he would have gotten close enough to others in the stands to infect anyone.

I find it interesting that the powers that be would rather risk the death of everyone else than closing the borders and damaging international trade and hurting their economy that keeps their ponzi running.

Oh, what a load of bullshit. The notion that we should close our borders in response to this non-issue is about as senseless a suggestion as I've yet seen.

compromise then and close our border to hot zones only. i would counter offer that we forcibly close their borders if needed. this is where drones really are the killer app. population control with no real infection risk.

If you're suggesting we quarantine entering people from Liberia, I can't argue with that. I could even see expanding that to include adjoining countries in Africa.

some of them superior American hygiene practices on display.

Dallas: Workers Spray Ebola Patients’ Vomit Off of Sidewalk with Pressure Washer and No Protective Clothing (Photos and Video).

A WFAA tv news chopper took the following photograph showing how workers are cleaning up the vomit:

Update: WFAA TV Dallas/Fort Worth Channel 8 news says that the Centers for Disease Control ordered the sidewalk to be power-washed:

Apparently, they didn't tell anyone to use protective suits, or to keep residents or passersby away while power-washing.

When did America become pussies? I'm not joking. This country is full of pussies. Not the good kind.

Our borders will never be secure. It's just throwing money at an unsolvable problem. If it isn't Ebola, it'll be something else.

I'm not willing to give up the freedoms we already have given up for some illusion of safety. Fuck. That.

As long as you don't come in direct contact with it, you're fine.

Incorrect. They forgot semen.

Everybody is going off the teeter totter about this, and it's both hilarious and aggravating.

On one hand, yes, Ebola is not the most transmissible of viruses. There is some conflicting data regarding aerosol transmission, but the preponderance suggests that it is contact/fomite/large droplet in practice.

On the other hand, our public health folks look like a bunch of idiots at the moment. They don't have consistent messaging, they're indecisive in front of the press, and they aren't drawing strong cordons around contacts, which is what most of us would probably like to see.

How many of you have heard what to do if you think you have Ebola? How strong is that message? I assure you, step one is not to go to your doctor or the hospital. That's what people will do, though, in the absence of clear instruction, and in the event that the virus does begin to spread, it's that tendency that will greatly accelerate the spread.

I'm not worrying about it, but I am watching with interest.

Edit: for any who are wondering, the answer is "call your doctor or hospital for guidance. Don't just show up."
