@Fairlane67: Too soon.

Well if the ebola gets us all...we won't have the Cowboys vs Texans 4 years from now....so the jokes have to be now.

I am finally happy that Dallas has something we don't.Question is why was this guy visiting friends in the states without having to come thru quarantine. Wonder how many were illegal. We had Ellis island to protect us at one time. How long till we open another?CDC guy in the press conference was doing damage control for the ****** screening we are doing on people coming in from Nigeria. Really sorry when we do not do any screening of people who come to our country from that part of the world.Only way we are going to stop this is quarantine that part of the world. More people we send there to help the greater the chance it is going to spread to us. From what I read you need 5-10 days before symptoms show. That should be the what is required for anyone who has visited there.

@Fairlane67You questioned my humor on another thread and then said this?

Just goes to show you..... We really don't know who is coming into this country......The press conference guy was doing everything he could to NOT SAY..... This guy is NOT A US CITIZEN.....
When asked directly if he was a citizen .... All he said three times is that he was here visiting friends

Fear not. ABC 13 is reporting that Governor Perry is on his way to Dallas.

@blueyes: He has already announced his plan of action. Godspeed to our military.

I heard it could be passed through animals & birds & if that is true why not mosquito bites ? All sorts of other disease is spread by mosquito's .

Will be interesting to see if church attendance dramatically increases like after 9/ll.

I found these FAQs on the CDC website informative.

In regards to the President making statements on Ebola, he has said quite a bit already. Some people balked when he sent troops, and medical experts to Africa in hopes of containing this thing. As for this case it does not matter at this point whether the person is a so-called illegal or not. Fact of the matter is in the jet age deadly viruses are only a plane ride away no matter the citizenship.I'm sure the CDC is staying on top of the situation not only in Dallas but overseas as well. I would think it is a measure of comfort knowing this virus can be beat. Remember the doctors that were infected and brought back to the states for treatment. They are doing well now. So that tells me a antidote is out there.

@blueyes:
Maybe he is waiting on info & wants to make certain it is accurate information & does not want to panic people before he has too . My thoughts are that our government will try to stop the spread . One way of doing that is to put up concrete barricades & let no one in & no one out . I do hope this will happen if they start seeing this popping up in more people .

To gaurantee our safety all the way at 100% we must secure the borders!!!!!!!Wake up America!!
