Texas Ebola Patient Dies

[countrygirl12]

I'm with you, fear just brings more of what you don't want.  My brother's a nurse and he's not worried because it's very hard to contract.  Dr Oz also dispelled fear of catching it.  We'll be fine. Don't let the news broadcasts' sensasionalizm wind you up. 

It is not very hard to catch.  And Dr Oz is an idiot.  If it was so hard to catch then there would not be an epidemic.  It can be transmitted thru sweat.  If it was so hard to catch the people treating the ones who have it would not be bundled up like they are.  You would not have to be in an isolated area and then the area burned if you die.

No, I am not worried about it wiping out the US but I don't want to be around anyone who has it.  And no, I don't get all my info from the media, not the government.  But the fact is if people keep coming here from the areas where thousands are dying from this disease then yes we can have a problem here.  Mostly because like I already said, people are stupid and rude and if they are sick they don't care if they make someone else sick.

I tend to agree more with countrygirl12.  This guy knew he was exposed and lied about it at his airport of origin.  He knowingly brought it with him.  If this administration would step up and PROTECT the American people like they're supposed to, he wouldn't have been able to enter the country (just like all the illegals freely waltzing through the border).  Personally, I think it's time the government gets off their duffs and begins protecting the border once again (but Obama has his OWN agenda concerning immigration), and that the U.S. stops all flights coming from or going to the countries that are infected with Ebola.

Not really sure why we are still allowing direct flights from Liberia to the United States.
