It's not airborne which is a good thing but seriously WHY bring the infected to the US?

Did you read the article duke? This wasn't one of the mission doctors they brought back for treatment. This was some guy from Liberia who moved to Texas on Sept. 20th. He showed no signs during his flight. No signs during his layover. No signs upon landing in the US. Four days after arriving he began to feel ill. Two days later he went to the hospital and was released!!!! Two days after that he was taken by ambulance back to the hospital.

So the ebola virus is not airborne you say. Did the man ride a bus and maybe sneeze on a pole? Maybe visit a shopping mall with escalators that he wiped his nose and touched the rail? How about take an elevator up to his apartment and press a floor button after wiping his nose? Did he open a cab door after same nose wipe? What about handing someone some paper money (one of the most disgusting things we do in this society) after the infamous nose wipe? Shall I go on?

Remember the beginning. Don't worry, the virus is only on the other side of the Atlantic in Sierra Leone. Only one country. Then it crossed the borders to other African countries, but still on the other side of the world. Then we brought back two infected American doctors. No biggie, they were in quarantine. Now an unrelated case crosses our borders unbeknownst to the CDC and winds up on our shores....not quarantined, at first. It's ok because it is QT'd now you say. But no worries, it's still on the other side of the USA.

LMK, when will it be close enough to finally start worrying? Will it require an international passenger from Africa who show's no signs of the virus to land at JFK with NYC as his/her final destination? At that time it might already be the 11th hour.

OK, my tinfoil hat is now off :banghead:

I guess it depends what you classify as alive. Having no brain activity, machine for lungs, can't digest foods, people removing waste from your body, a machine pumping your heart for you, having a 5 different types of IV fluids, then yes you are still alive. He is basically a corpse with a lot of machines moving his parts. This is giving the CDC the benefit of the doubt that they are telling the truth and don't have any other agenda on delaying the information.gl
