[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]CNN article that states that 3 ebola-infected passengers will get on a plane per month:

http://www.cnn.com/2014/10/20/health/ebola-travelers-study/index.html?hpt=hp_t2

If that doesn't make one want a quarantine and travel restrictions (in addition to  helping fight it in West Africa, of course), I don't know what will.[/quote]

WRONG. If you are going to constantly post these links please don't misrepresent what they say. The quote is [b]up to three might fly[/b] in a month. All over the world. So maybe zero. And not a single person has become infected flying on a plane with someone with Ebola. Not a one.

PLus you may not know this but none of these countries have direct flights to the US. So unless you are going to ban flights from Rome and Paris I don't see how you can have any kind of ban.

You really need to stop this silliness.[/quote]

+1 This story was cheap clickbait.

I guess the media are running out of steam, since there are no new infections. I'm not sure which network is on the TV in my company's coffee lounge, but they spent a good five minutes discussing Phan's dog.

The Ebola train is a-movin on, folks[/quote]

Klain is doing an excellent job curbing fear domestically, that's what happened. Potential Ebola cases just dropped off the media radar so abruptly-- no more stories about HazMat crews dispatched at airports for traveler's dyspepsia, no update about the lady ralphing in the Pentagon parking lot. Business as usual for us until the next Patient Zero arrives in the next unprepared country. [/quote]
