E-Bola

No, ISIS is his Teapot Dome. Try to keep up.

 

No, ISIS is going to suicide-Ebola us into submission.

 

This was pretty sweet:

 

Considering there has only been one death from Ebola on US soil, and he didn't get the disease here, the focus should still be on defeating the disease in Africa. The second focus should probably be to train the average hospital to be prepared for an Ebola case walking through its front door, so the Dallas fuck up doesn't happen again.

I don't want to hear "we weren't prepared" again. That is bullshit. Get prepared.

 

It's fucking Obama, man.

 

Starman did you steel Dick's access code?

 

No, if it was Starman, he'd be calling him an M.N.

 

Do those health care workers have to fly commercial? Couldn't it be a controlled event. Workers fly on private or military plane and return on same with proper precautions and quarantines upon return.

I just don't buy the argument that it would make it more difficult to stop the spread.

It did not seem difficult for a travel ban to Israel to be instituted

 

Dick, if you're going to pursue this line of trolling, you need to be working golf in there.

 

Flying a private plane costs more money, unless you find somebody who is willing to donate services or offer them at a reduced rate. Military flights might be an option, but there's only so much of those flights available, and you could have issues ranging from complaints about the military being utilized for this purpose, to distrust factors from the West African countries in question.

Briefly on that: The distrust factor that West Africans have for foreigners is a major issue to overcome. We both know the medical personnel going there just want to help, but the hard part is getting the person who doesn't trust a foreigner to understand that.

Back to the travel ban: The United States could do whatever it wants, but getting every other nation to follow suit is the hard part, and that's especially important when somebody who wants to get from West Africa to the United States will need to take a flight to a European nation, then board a connecting flight. Or more to the point: Just because you keep these people from coming to the United States, does not mean they won't try to go to another nation, and lead to the same things that happened with Eric Duncan.

That means your best approach is to stop these people from boarding a plane in the West African nations to begin with, which likely means shutting down the airport to nearly all traffic, and that's going to be a real challenge to get those West African nations to do that.

 

Great opening line:

If we can keep a head of lettuce or bird out of the country we should be able to
find a put in a travel ban on humans. Seems simple enough to look at the recent
stamps on a passport.
