But Barry sees no reason to scale back any travel to and from infected W. Africa. Democrats Join Call To Ban Travelers From West Africa WASHINGTON -- Three Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives have joined Republicans in calling on President Barack Obama to restrict travel by people from Ebola-stricken West Africa. "The United States needs to institute travel restrictions, enhanced airport screening and possible quarantine of individuals who have traveled to, or from, the West African countries that have been most impacted by this tragic Ebola epidemic," says the Wednesday letter. Reps. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.), Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) and Dave Loebsack (D-Iowa) joined two dozen Republicans in signing the letter. Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) is one of the only other Democrats who has called for a travel ban, most loudly advocated so far by Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R). (Grayson first called for a ban in July.) As The Hill reported, a new poll shows that a majority of Americans support the idea. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/10/09/ebola-travel-ban_n_5961446.html Of course, it probably doesn't help any that Alan Grayson is bonafide nuts, but still, he's a Democrat. Has anyone put forth any mechanism by which this travel ban would be enforced? How do you propose to restrict people coming in from places that already don't have direct flights into this country? How intrusive do you want to get? How far into the background checks do you want to go? How long would each background check take, and how long are you willing to wait to board a plane while that check is being done? As usual, you propose more regulation, more authoritarian measures, and more security theatre, all of which you've already been shown won't work. Maybe you should just propose building a wall around Africa.

Those rules only apply to those who can follow the law, rules, regulations. Everybody knows that black nurses need not adhere to or conform with laws, rules, regulations, or common sense. Even the CDC gave her a pass although she had a fever before leaving Dallas. Stop being racist.

So we will know by around November 20 how many have been infected by Duncan and the Obamacare policies. This, of course, is after the elections.

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

Just to clue you in, Texas has not accepted "Obamacare" and has refused to expand Medicaid and Medicare. Ebola spreads in Texas because it is full of retards and Republicans like you. This is Rick Perry's doing.

Quote:Originally posted by JEWELSTAITEFAN: Breaking News: Last Ebola Czar Democrat political fundraising hack Dr. Nicole Lurie (ASPR) replaced by far worse Democrat political fundraising hack Ron Kain (no Doctor, no clue about medicine) as new Ebola Czar. Dr. Nicole Lurie (ASPR - the office created by President George W. Bush 10 years ago) has not made headlines for 3 years, when she got caught transferring funds away from Ebola-combating medical companies (like the company whose research and medical products are NOW being used to combat the Ebola in Dallas) and into campaign funds for democrat politicians. How putrid! Nothing more in 3 years - very poor Democrat crime and crony performance. With this new Czar, how many millions of rounds of 9mm bullets will be needed to combat this Ebola enemy? How many limos will be needed? Perhaps a jumbo jet akin to Air Force One for the Czar? How much of these Ebola funds can be used to force patients to vote Democrat in Nov? How many Ebolas can be used to Get Out The Vote in Nov? How many millions of taxpayer dollars can be diverted to Ebola to corrupt the elections, defraud the elections, disenfranchise the honest voters of America? At least we now know that Ebola is a political disease, and not a medical or biological one.

Despite thousands of Cruise Ship passengers who wanted to disgorge and spend gobs of tourist dollars on knickknacks at the port, Belize refused to allow a Cruise Ship to enter harbor because one of the passengers was at the Dallas hospital which allowed Duncan to die, and infect other previously healthy people. The Black President Obama should send in the Marines to force Belize to get Ebola too.

Maybe listen to those 5 countries all clamoring about how they have stopped Ebola from spreading beyond their borders, by using border control: Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Dem Republic of Congo.

Cause you know, being BLACK and everything, he manufactured the disease in Africa in order to bring the zombie apocalypse to the US. It's important that you all makes these links, folks, he's BLACK, he has something to do with Africa, he introduced a COMMUNIST health care system and now Americans are dying in DROVES from ebola. Well maybe a couple of people have it. BUT LET"S PANIC ANYWAY. BECAUSE HE IS A BLACK PRESIDENT. ERMIGAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's painful reading the moronic shite written by the righties on this board.

Obama/CDC fuck-up #1 : His passport showed he had recently been in Guinea. He should never have been allowed back in the U.S. Obama/CDC fuck-up #2 : He was not put in quarantine for 21 days upon his arrival. Now he would have been, but when he came back there was no quarantine protocol in place. They have no idea how many people he has had contact with since his return, and they cannot know who they've had contact with or where they are. Same goes for all the other West Africa world travelers prior to the new restrictions. First few weeks in November will reveal the disastrous results of Obama's leadership failure. A gigantic cluster-fuck that could affect tens of thousands.

Quote: The latter stages of the disease, it becomes more contagious. It's obvious that the health workers in Texas were dealing with a far more contagious patient than those who had been near him before the virus had progressed.

Quote: The fact that they were infected proves that they failed to follow strict protocols. It's kind of the same way you dipshits keep shooting yourselves with all those "unloaded" guns. Wait - did you think the virus suddenly evolved and became airborne overnight? Or maybe it grew into adulthood where it learned to fly while it became ever more contagious as it got older? "Hi-fukcing-larious" your own stupid self, moron.
