Ebola will come if airlines will not stop to fly to Africa

[RodeoX]

Chemtrails now! Really?

Ask one of my 2nd. grade students what they are. They can explain how water in the atmosphere condenses around particles when the heat from a jet passes through the cold sky.

The reason Obama sent troops rather than doctors to Africa to fight Ebola is that he doesn't believe that there is a cure... or that is what he is indication by his actions, anyway. The troops have been dispatched to execute anyone who has Ebola over there, at least if they are in a position that they might spread the disease.

I wonder what the real reason behind the troops is, since Ebola is patented in the States.

What are you talking about

The US troops are not executing anyone in Africa. If this was going on, there would be public outrage and the US would be guilty of war crimes.

Troops have been dispatched to help the sick, they are not your traditional infantry fighters but are rather soldiers who would help the soldiers who get injured in battle (eg nurse type soldiers)

I don't understand the mentality of stopping flights into the US from West Africa. The chances are if someone shows "Ebola symptoms" coming from Africa it's either Malaria or Dengue Fever.

People should treat Ebola as a public health issue, not a national security matter

There is also a good chance that it is Ebola, and if it is then everyone on the plane could potentially get infected as air is recycled and their vomit could get into the air circulation system, forcing everyone on the plane to potentially breathe in an infected person's bodily fluids.

Even if this were to not happen, an infected person who is not quite showing symptoms (but just became contagious) could sneeze on someone who would wipe their eye prior to washing their hands, which would cause the bodily fluids to mix and the other person would get infected.

in principle, the Ebola virus is transmitted from the virus through the blood stream, if the threat is managed well then I feel no need to ban the plane to fly to Africa, good governance is to examine all passengers coming and going from and to Africa, where management this is good, and of course, supported by policies and equipment are qualified, I feel no need to prohibit flights to and from Africa, hopefully ...

Right, if flights are banned to and from West Africa citizens will find other ways to get into the country, avenues that are unmonitored.

They can contain ebola.
I would stop outgoing flights...incoming is fine.

Africa is a long way from the US. Flights are the most efficient way that people from africa can get into the US. Most other ways would take almost as long (if not much longer) as the incubation period of ebola.

This isn't just about the US. You can't look at it that way. : / Banning flights will make the disease harder to track and that could allow it to infect more people more quickly.
And trying to isolate these countries will just make people that the country needs to be there to function more likely to leave. That will make the situation worse. : /

Charter flights could still enter the affected countries that could bring in medical help and the normal imports that the affected countries would normally import (like food and medical supplies).

It is just commercial flights (that carry passengers) that should not be able to leave the countries that are affected by ebola. There are several neighboring countries that have prevented the disease to spread into their country by protecting their boarders

Everyone says it is fine having flights come from Africa but would you want to be on a plane where 1/3 of passengers are connecting from Africa?

Hell no.

We have seen a lack of disregard for the safety of others with ebola patients.

1 upper government guy from Nigera killed atleast 5-8 people.

Duncan infected 2 nurses and said he hadn't had contact with any ebola victims.

All it take's is 1 dude from Africa flying here passing out on the plane a few people touching him to wake him up ect.

Then he gets off sweating, ebolad the fuck out, touching shit at the airport coughing exchanging items.

Then he goes to the hospital sits in the waiting room, has contact with people.

God forbid he doesnt make it to the hospital and lays down on the side of the road like you see in Africa and passes. People shake him hey man you good, ambulance comes and grabs him.

or he dies in house after infecting everyone there.

I mean its messed up but you are literally one pump away from infecting hundreds. You and your girl get down, you transfer it, she takes care of the kids they get sick they go to school with ebola. Little kids put shit in their mouths, eat boogers all that junk, they infect other kids and so on.

Then all the people who had contact with him go home, touch their friends and family.

This is how epidemics start.

Even if they didnt have contact with anyone with ebola, they could still have ebola.

Did you have any contact with anyone suffering from ebola?

"no but I ate 5 bats, 3 rats and an ape leg."


If your a US citizen working with DWOB or a Soldier you get quarantined. If your a civilian well dont go to Africa or you have to get cleared to go and you need to be quarantined when you get back.

If your from Africa well you are more than welcome to come back or visit after this epidemic is over.

The three affected countries should have been put in to quarantine ages ago. The real scale of this epidemic remains hidden. One health care worker in Sierra Leone was saying that in that country alone, some 20,000 people have died of the disease. But since most of these deaths have occurred in remote villages, they are not counted as a part of the official statistics.

Neighboring countries have locked down their borders after it became clear that ebola was a bigger problem then it was the last time there was an outbreak. Nigeria for example has prevented anyone from crossing the border into their country and as a result has not had any cases of ebola in more then 21 days which means it is safe to say that no one will develop the disease.   

[deepestfear]

That's bullshit, Ebola cases have been reported in maybe four African countries. That's nothing relative to the size of Africa

There is a bunch of data on the Ebola map of how its distributed right now but fair enough its more less 3 major 2 minor and a few other cases
Still getting worse though.
Good Old time and its historical data

Only some of the countries are following the quarantine rules strictly. Even now, there are a lot of international flights departing from Monrovia and Freetown. And the land borders are extremely porous as well.
