[novasteve]

If this becomes a confirmed case and Obama doesn't ban people from infected countries from flying in then Obama really needs to resign

 

[Mr. H.]

Who the **** is in charge in this country?

 

[novasteve]

Now they have ruled out Ebola. That was quick

 

[CrusaderFrank]

If this becomes a confirmed case and Obama doesn't ban people from infected countries from flying in then Obama really needs to resign

Or Congress and the military need to remove him

 

[novasteve]

Funny how other cases take days to rule out but not this one

 

[Katzndogz]

Did no one with ebola come here prior to Duncan? They are just finding them now?

 

[TheOldSchool]

Whatever happened to the 2 suspected cases in D.C.?

It would be nice if our resident USMB nutbags would calm down. The election isn't for several weeks. There is plenty of time to take advantage of the frightened populace.

Whatever happened to the 2 suspected cases in D.C.?

I heard one was diagnosed with malaria, the other doesn't have ebola either, but no diagnosis given.

U.S. officials say Ebola unlikely in sick Newark passengers report

So these 2 passengers from Liberia, throwing up on the flight, taken away by cdc in hazmat suits, likely do not have ebola, so let's let the rest leave. What is wrong with this picture?

Reuters) - Federal health officials do not believe two sick passengers removed from a United Airlines flight that landed on Saturday at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey are infected with the Ebola virus, according to a local media report.

Officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, dressed in full HAZMAT gear, escorted a man and his daughter off the flight, WABC-TV and the Record newspaper reported.

The two passengers were believed to be from Liberia and were exhibiting signs of illness during the flight, the reports said.

An airport official told the Record that CDC officials do not believe the pair are sick with Ebola.

All the other passengers on the flight from Brussels were cleared to leave the plane, the official said.

Ebola has killed more than 3,400 people in West Africa since March, according to the World Health Organization.

 

[B. Kidd]

Time to sue the airlines for negligence since our Govt. doesn't give a shit.

 

[depotoo]

Oh, and the confirmed case here? Came from Liberia, via Brussels, to Dulles, rather than to Newark as these 2 did.

 

[depotoo]

ABC is reporting the hospital they have been taken to has shut down the emergency room for 4 hours and that the passengers were taken to a private area in customs at the airport.

Also the Dallas patient's condition has been downgraded to critical from serious.

if I were a passenger on that plane I'd sue Obama and his administration

if I were a passenger on that plane I'd sue Obama and his administration

If indeed these passenger's have been exposed, this will be a nightmare of even larger proportion than some of the others.
