Only two people were infected here. OOthers came home after being infected elsewhere and Duncan who was also infected elsewhere. And the two were infected in one hospital. No medical workers have been infected at any of the other facilities treating people with Ebola.

Those hospitals had wards specifically designed to treat this level of biohazard.

Our constant USA #1 patriotism is coming back to bite us, that's what.

I think it's a President who feels judpstblike you about America that is deliberately biting us:



"See Daddy, I've done good this time right? I did it for you" it's like the man is starring on a freakin' remake of Psycho.

WTF does this even mean???

I don’t have a lot of faith in these petitions. While I did sign it, I think it is Obama’s way of saying his administration is “transparent.” It took the WH several months to respond to the petition on the Marine jailed in Mexico. And, the response was weak - just standard stuff. Lots of platitudes.
One thing I will say - yesterday this petition had only a couple thousand signatures so it is evident there are a lot of people interested in seeing bans.

They said there's no direct flights here from the affected countries in Africa. The people first have to fly through Europe. Now I can see why they haven't done this...it sounds like a monumental, if not impossible task.

This is why we HAVE passports, visas, Immigration, Customs, etc. etc. If we asked all our allies in the UN to join us in a travel ban, I am sure it would happen. They can't fight this without us.

It's not difficult at all. It's just spin to say otherwise. Won't happen, though.

If it weren't for immigrants bringing in deadly diseases, the US would not even exist and the Indians would still be running things.

What about flights from Texas?

General incompetence. I mean, we've only had what--six months or what not--to prepare. What else do these people do all day? At least the CDC director is a medical doctor. That suggests he should have some knowledge about how this spreads. Here's hoping things get better.

Jesus.

I'm the one who lives near Reston hospital, and I am worried because my dd's have asthma. My 8 year old has been sick with a virus for 2 weeks, and has spent the last 3 nights coughing. If I have to take her to the hospital for breathing difficulties, I would normally take her to Reston. If a passenger with ebola flies into Dulles, then there we would be. Right in an ebola hospital. I call that a reason for concern. If you don't think so, you are deluding yourself.

They need somewhere to treat people close to the airport. Every hospital is going to be inconvenient to some of its neighbors. If you are worried, pick a back up hospital


Not the PP, but the closest hospital is imperative for an asthmatic who is having breathing issues --including bad coughing. If I cough more than 2 times in a row, I know I am at risk for an attack. If I have an attack, I'd been in trouble to travel more than. 10 min to an ER.

Of couse you do! My daughter is asthmatic and so a. I. Why this PP thinks a non-citizen should have rights over a citizen shows the delusional thinking of Obamabots

Wow, you are selfish. Citizens can get Ebola and fly in planes too. You don't get personal,dibs on the hospital, obvious, but you seem to think the world revolves around your needs.

Actually Europe as a whole has had more. Otherwise, the answer is the U.S. Is much bigger and more populous than any single European country.

Most recent update- you will not get Ebola. You're welcome.

I'm not any of the previous PPs. I also live near both Fairfax and Reston hospitals. Certainly there must be a hospital closer to Dulles then those two. Fairfax is pretty far from Dulles. And, yeah, I'm pissed off that the two hospitals close to me are now "Ebola" hospitals. Duncan was selfish for bringing that disease to the U.S. And who knows what Obama's agenda is that he is turning our country into who knows what when he could have just banned the flights and avoided all of this!!!!!!!!!! I've always voted Democrat, but it's likely I'll vote Republican if they are willing to do all the common sense,right things for this country regarding ebola.
