...allow travel for the folks coming to/fro doing medical assistance on charter flights, mil transport, etc... but stop allowing them to get mixed in w/ the unsuspecting general public on commercial airliners! ...how would you feel if you found out you were sitting next to one in coach (..the doctor, ..Duncan, whoever's next)?

I was just pointing out that Obama's economic argument from a week or two ago is bs...they are going to do what they want to do regardless.

Anyone watch 60 minutes yesterday? The way the nurses were describing the diarrhea...my god...

**KahanaReef** · 10-27-2014, 06:20 PM

I didn't see it but did read some commentary on it.

**0rion** · 10-27-2014, 08:30 PM

I didn't, nor do I ever, plan on seeing or reading about it.

My wife used to break out with those stories right at dinner. I never want to hear about that stuff.....especially when I'm eating. Those have since been banned from the dinner table and only allowed on a heavily edited basis around the house in general. She see's some stuff that I have no desire to hear about.

4 cases. 4. Including nobody sitting next to the doctor on the plane. lol

Actually, it's technically (1) active case now. Both nurses who "had" it are virus-free, miraculously.

Can we get all of these Ebola threads into one, it's starting to spread like..........

Ebola

**Zinergy** · 10-28-2014, 10:18 AM

Yea, 3 threads lol. Mods please impose a travel ban.

***SMWS6TA*** · 10-28-2014, 10:23 AM

Ah yes, just in time for Flu season....it's going to be real fun seeing a doctor now. I was asked 4 different times at the Dr's office, Sat if I'd been out of the country or had contact with anyone form these regions.

They also have a gun ban. Doesn't mean its something we need to do here
If Ron Paul is against the ban you know its a bad idea

It was a general statement about the hysteria that the right wing media in general has been trying to stir about ebola (for political reasons). And the predictable response from the folks who lap it up, which is on display in this thread proving my point quite nicely
