Taken Off NJ By Patricia Doyle |
| Hello, Jeff - When are they going to stop the flights from
the Ebola capital of the world? Let's take the government line
and play Devil's advocate. OK, so let's say that we catch some, or all of those on flights with Ebola. What happens next? The Americans are a humane people and would never turn away a person with Ebola and send them home to die. So, we send anyone with symptoms to our hospitals that have been set up for Americans with Ebola. Guess who pays for each case of Ebola, the patient? Doubt that, so we taxpayers have to pay. I sometimes wonder where the money is coming from (Obama via taxes?) for people to fly from poor W Africa but that is for another email. In catching these cases we also put our health care people and airport people at risk not to mention a planeload of passengers. There are just so many hospitals that can safely manage a BSL 4 pathogen disease. We have 19 total hospital beds for BSL 4 disease victims. So, when the beds are filled with non-Citizen travelers, where would the Americans go if they were to become infected from travelers? Home to die? Why not simply stop the flights until the crisis is over? Or, reduce the flights only for health care workers going to and from W Africa. Then, to manage the problem of those sneaking into the US, how about simply taking control of our borders like Nigeria did and other countries. Problem may not be totally solved but it surely will be cut down substantially. Oh, btw, Jeff, note the photo. Can you tell me what is wrong with the picture? Note the officer's arm, bare from elbows to gloves. He should have long sleeves and the gloves should be taped at the wrists. If this is or were an Ebola case, the screener could be in serious trouble and at high risk for contracting Ebola. Patty A Liberian passenger who flew into New Jersey on Tuesday was taken to hospital over fears he had been exposed to Ebola, media reported. The man, who had flown from Liberia to Brussels and then caught a connecting flight to Newark, had a fever, NBC New York reported, citing unnamed officials. The passenger was "identified as reporting symptoms or having a potential exposure to Ebola," a spokeswoman for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) told the network. The CDC was not immediately available for comment. Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea are at the epicenter of the world's worst reported epidemic of the hemorrhagic fever that has killed more than 4,500 people. Three Ebola cases have been confirmed in the United States: Liberian Thomas Eric Duncan, who died on Oct. 8 at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas, and two nurses who treated him. The United States ratcheted up its safeguards against Ebola on Tuesday, requiring travelers from the three West African countries to fly into one of five major airports conducting enhanced screening for the virus.
