How about look at a map and see that the United States is not in West Africa?

He stopped to help a pregnant women to the hospital, not knowing that she had ebola.

I do not know what this guy did wrong.

Now can we please stop maligning a dead man?

+1. I am sick and tired of listening to a bunch of self-righteous, egotistical, self-absorbed, black-hearted, whiny excuse for human beings malign this man with innuendo and no solid facts of his intention.

There is no doubt in my mind that if you visited Italy or Sweden and was possibly exposed to something, you would climb over your own children to get back into this country. Everyone of you would lie your asses off. You know it and I know it.

Enough of the holier-than-thou bullshit.

Is there anything going around in Italy or Sweden that is as highly contagious or deadly as Ebola? If Ebola was going around one of those countries, I wouldn't visit. If I did, I would fully expect that I should be quarantined or prohibited from reentering the country until it was proved I wasn't infected with a deadly, contagious disease.

Let's see how you would feel being quarantined in a non-European country.

It's called hypothetical.

OMFG. So that huge statement of going in without protect clothes on could get this guy killed. I hope it's something else. FFS. just stop with the political correctness already. Because of course if he responds well to treatment because he got in early then who knows how Jesse Jackson will spin that.

By the way - everyone yelling he didn't know it was ebola. Ok fine - why the hell wouldn't he have said "I WAS WITH A PERSON WHO DIED OF MALARIA" on first hospital visit? MALARIA MALARIA MALARIA!!!! That would have gotten some attention too.

This is no bueno. If you are the guy to deliver a quarantine order to the potential ebola case, wouldn't protective gear be a sensible consideration? :/

But... they tell us Ebola is hard to get...

exactly

The projections there assume certain things about available medical care and practices (very little, obviously) as well as transmissibility. But Ebola is no less catching on this continent, unless a large number of us have a genetic immunity to it like some do to HIV. I'm not the one who posted OMG MILLIONS, but epidemiologists and others have been warning of a global pandemic for years, saying it's not "if" but "when." I sure hope this isn't it, but I can't tear myself from coverage

WTF is wrong with you broken record cons? How do you get from what was likely "ill-prepared" or "not trying to incite panic" to "political correctness"? Give. it. up.

It was reported, again, that parents would not let their kids go to school with the child of the County Judge who reportedly entered the apartment without protective gear and rode in or drove the vehicle transporting the family to their new lodgings. One kid may have returned. I am all for demonstrating compassion and appearing calm. But the Judge's behavior was truly moronic-seeming in light of the fact that some experts have said, whoa, we can't rule out that this disease could be more easily passed along than we had assumed. I assume that the parents who removed the kids and the removed kids themselves have been the subject of endless ridicule. I never knew that Dallas was so dysfunctional.

No way you can justify your MALARIA MALARIA post no matter how you try and re-spin it.
