Ebola outbreak in West Africa

[DinoDoc]

The strain of Ebola in question (despite its lethality) isn't airborne and can be adequately contained through quarantine measures. What's inherently wrong with bringing Americans to a place where they can get better treatment than what is available in Africa? Hell's Bells. You're acting as if Ebola Reston made the leap to killing humans and that's what we're bringing to the US.

so looks like they hve something dfor this noe... cool

[Sava]

Oh no. Prudent measures made dumb people wildly speculate

Which is why you violate containment measures by bringing them here?

What's inherently wrong with bringing Americans to a place where they can get better treatment than what is available in Africa?

The fact that the whole concept of a quarantine doesn't involve bringing them back to America. They knew the risks when they left.

You're acting as if Ebola Reston made the leap to killing humans and that's what we're bringing to the US.

All it takes is one slip up, Dinodoc. It's just retarded. You don't break quarantine and containment in this fashion. Ever. It's just not done.

Now that precedent has been established, everyone is going to want to be brought home.

the US knows something...

this happended too fast for just ' we care ;.'

come on... the US is ruishing this.. something is up.

[Ben Kenobi]

something is up.

It just makes no sense from a scientific perspective to bring them back to the United States. You don't ship contagious people out of hot zones. If you're trying to convince people to respect quarantine measures, what are they going to think when a doctor breaks confinement? They are going to think, "if the doctor doesn't respect it, why should I?"

[Sava]

You using the term "scientific" its cute

[Berzerker]

the bug has acid for blood and they want it for the bio-weapons industry

[Sava]

and he just doesn't fuucking listen either. Like talking to a robot. Tardbot

[Ben Kenobi]

You assume that it's because I don't listen, and not that I've heard and rejected your bull****.

[Sava]

Hey man, I don't make the facts. I just tell you what they are.

[kentonio]

Few things funnier than watching Captain Fukwit insisting he knows more about quarantine procedures than the ****ing CDC does.

[Ben Kenobi]

he knows more about quarantine procedures than the ****ing CDC does.

You're in favor of violating containment in order to bring aid workers back to America from Hot zones? You can run the same tests elsewhere, you don't have to bring them back to America.

[Sava]

They aren't "violating containment". You are beyond hope.

Also, Ebola isn't airborne, numbskull. In order to spread the disease, you need to come into direct physical contact with bodily fluids.
