    I don't think Ebola is anything like aids in terms of becoming infected. Ebola may be closer related to the plague. In my opinion you haven't seen nothing yet....

    Keep in mind that as of right now, in America, 3 people have been infected. 1 contracted it in Africa, and the 2 nurses who contracted it were in direct contact with him when he was sick, showing symptoms, and most contagious. I think that in America we can take the steps to curb this issue, but we will have to see. If it keeps wiping people out in Africa then it is an international concern, but so far we shouldn't be panicking. I'm not sure what the solution is for Africa, but we should stop or quarantine all travel from the effected region.

    If terrorist have people willing to be suicide bombers, what's to prevent one of these psychos to self infect on purpose and fly on over to the us (or a proxy country, then to the US). Sound crazy?

    Actually as of the other day(might have been done earlier, I just read it a couple days back.) the US is now funneling people from the infected countries to 5 airports around the country for screening as they come in. According to the article I read, there are no direct flights between the US an the countries infected.

    An far as a terrorist using Ebola..If you enjoy a good read I highly recommend Executive Orders by Tom Clancy, it's one of the Jack Ryan books, an quite enjoyable, lest to me. Good read, funny how real mimics a book.(Book was written in the 90s before 9/11 an the like)

    My grandmother got Anthrax 70 times during the early 2000's. Hell..she'd open a box of Tide an would be trying to call the CDC. lol...she was a trip.



    An on a serious note...I believe one of those 5 Airports is in NY.

    Ok, Ebola is scary, but how about this. Polio is back and 8 people are dead already. Take that Ebola!

    According to the latest weekly update from CDC, 167 more people have been sickened with EV-D68 in the past week: a total of 973 patients in 47 states and the District of Columbia. That’s up from last week’s total of 796 people in 46 states.

    Have a question. Why did FEMA order 150,000 has mat suits months before WE even heard of E bola. let alone have it here in the U.S. latest case is in New York, 2 weeks ago the national health agency said we would probably have cases in New York. Quite a Psychic. Just askin.

    Now this "super educated and for the love of other countries Doctor with NO common sense comes back from West Africa after treating Ebola patients and doesn't have the Common Sense to sit still for a couple of days and is so cheap that he has to take two subways to go bowling and then take a cab home. WTF!!?? People can't be that stupid by accident. I'm calling pre-meditated and organized. What a mess.

    Don't even get me started on the hatchet swinging dead guy in NYC.... Gee the media doesn't want to say the "M" word or the "I" word. Call it what it is and start exterminating the evil from the planet. Thanks for not getting me started.

    Thank goodness we are having 9 million+ green cards printed up so everybody can come to the US and help us experiment with Ebola transmission.
