[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Jeff, why are you deleting posts about the Nigerean man who died on route to JFK after vomiting profusely in his seat?  [/quote]

Please post messages like this in website feedback so that this thread does not get derailed (as it would have been by posting a message about a guy who didn't have ebola).

Determined by a cursory walk-on by CDC, not testing[/quote]

Are you going to react this way to every African that vomits from now on? Nigeria has had practically no ebola. This is part and parcel of your and others' attempt to generate mass hysteria of the "everything has changed" style illustrated in a post above.

It's here now. Being prepared means staying alert. There is now a lecel 4 virus in this country that the CDC is being lax about. Everything has changed, my friend.

Being alert and aware is always prudent. In bars, in your home, walking outside. Read The Gift Of Fear. It highlights the balance quite well

Had i not been alert and aware, I would have not noticed the man following me in my car. I would have not noticed him hide his car behind a gas station row of pumps when I deliberately stopped at a populated convenience store. Worse yet, I could have dismissed my rational mind as hysterical, and allowed him to follow me home. Police tell me that without my rational, quick thinking, I would be a statistic today. So yes, I trust myself

Liberals like yourself adopt a laisse faire attitude about everything, making you dangerous to others. Then you gaslight by saying they are hysterical. I can't imagine being so naive - or so cruel[/quote]

Listen, I consider myself liberal, at least in many aspects, 
and I totally agree:  handling too lax on all fronts, CDC all over the place, Frieden needs to go, etc etc.
Totally appalled by the handling of the entire outbreak domestically and internationally.
I'm for limiting travel to the three countries, slowing/holding visas until this is under control, REAL quarantine (not I will call you from my vacation kind of quarantine)

Obama should have been on the phone with European leaders and through whichever countries flights are routing to the US MONTHS ago, not last week, to discuss how this could be handled in scenario X.  The Europeans are just as behind.

I want to appeal to all sides to stop bringing "liberals think this" and "conservatives think this" into this!

It is really counterproductive - you need to think of what's the best way to handle this, and go forward,  from a virology standpoint, not a political standpoint.
