Post #395,311 by Another Scott 10/6/14 9:58:50 PM Reply	And this pro disagrees. The Hill: A travel ban to the countries facing an Ebola outbreak could paradoxically make the problem worse, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Tom Frieden said during a Saturday press conference. Frieden said the CDC would consider any and all precautions, but warned that a travel ban could make it harder to get medical care and aid workers to regions dealing with the outbreak. He cited the recent delay African Union aid workers experienced trying to get to Liberia. "Their ability to get there was delayed by about a week because their flight was canceled and they were stuck in a neighboring country," he said. The virus can only be spread by people who have symptoms. A travel advisory and sensible screenings is the answer. Not a travel ban. Damaging the economies of the affected countries even more, and making it even harder for aid to arrive to help ("What? We can't leave but we're supposed to let you in? Really?"), will only make a horrible situation worse. It's already doing so without a formal ban. Hang in there. Cheers, Scott.

That ambulance was still in service 3 days after he was identified with ebola and the EMT's 4 days after the event still had not been contacted. We know what to do, hand washing properly stops the spread of germs, so why in the fuck is the most infectious place for mers is a hospital? Reporter comes back from covering ebola in liberia and is asked about whether they are carrying booze or tobacco. She asks about precautions and is told Oh, yeah we got an email or something.... check your self for symptoms, What should I check for, We don't know. Cleaning cost money, cheap wages get people who don't give a fuck.

Time for a bit of isolationism. Showing symptoms. Cough. Sweat. Standard cold or Ebola? Who the hell knows. Not like people don't sweat and leave it on the airplane seat all the time.
