So, now, the US is one of only a handful of countries where Ebola has been diagnosed.

I wonder how many people the man in Dallas had potentially infectious contact with in his travel to Texas?

Is there any restrictions in place for travelers going to or coming from west africa? It would seem prudent for our government agencies not to have the same open southern border policy with west Africa at this time.

It is amazing that broader travel quarantines and restrictions have not already been implemented . . . Ebola, coming to a city near you!

It is an example of the complete failure of Obamacare.

So Kalimon, I gather from your response that their is no safeguards in place to prevent the direct contamination of our land and peoples from a known hazardous population half a world away. Amazing how much our current political system and governing party cares for its citizens. Does anyone else wonder why these bums are in power over us?

Oh RJ, im so glad you enlightened us on the increased intellect of the electorate. We all know Romney would be inviting all manner of diseased immigrants with an even more robust open borders policy than the current mob boss. Dumbass, wasn't he ? Im sure glad we've got Barack, Harry and the dethroned queen Nancy looking out for us, aren't you?

So the guy was sick for 2 days shedding Ebola Zaire virus.
How many grocery stores, restaurants, and coffee shops did
he sniffle and wipe his nose at then hand money over to
some poor unsuspecting cashier in the Dallas area?

Did anyone else notice Ebola and Obama both have 3 vowels and 2 consonants?
George Bush at least kept America safe from Ebola.
On the positive side of things, maybe this means we can quarantine Texas. Hopefully with Ted Cruz and a few Fox News reporters and anchors in it.
And on the travel front, pretty sure American carriers stopped all flights to the affected countries some time ago. He probably went through another country.

Can I purchase an autographed copy? Should be worth its weight in gold for diciphering the nuances of this new culture of hope and change.

You can only spread Ebola to another person if you actually are ill. Reportedly, he did not become ill until he'd been in the US for 4-5 days, so he could not have infected anyone on the plane.
Also, that is too short a time to become ill after exposure. He brought it with him.

For what reason do you claim this Base? What, you don't think it reasonable for our government to put in place tight travel restrictions to and from an area of lethal epedemics? TSA, under homeland security, is patting down grandma, toddlers and maintains a no fly list to supposedly prevent terrorism. Is it not reasonable to curtail travel from affected areas and screen necessary travelers for a virus that strikes infinitely more terror in the minds of the population than shoe or under wear bombers?.

I've been in Ghana West Africa for the past ten days where currently there has been no reported Ebola case. I am wondering however what the screening will be like when I reenter the States on Sunday...

Well, this gets interesting. The man in Texas with Ebola was originally released from the hospital with just antibiotics. He went home for two days before returning.
