I would think in terms of public safety that they would test people that were in contact with him.
People who have the actual flu are not having sex and going to work. Common cold, yeah. But the real flu knocks you on your ass.

Thank you!

If you actually have Influenza... you aren't doing anything other than laying on your couch/bed and wondering if this going to be the end.

Who doesn't? Hell, who needs the flu?

Wait...is that wrong? Is that frowned upon? Should I not be doing that? I mean, I haven't received any complaints thus far...

Incubation is 2-21 days but you can only transfer it via bodily fluids so it is easy to contain.

The issue is that if it infects enough people and stays active long enough there is a chance it can mutate and become airborne. Not time to panic yet

I really hate stupid people, this CDC lady has incredible patience with the morons on Fox asking her over and over if they should panic, which apparently they are.

I imagine they still have stockpiled duct tape and plastic wrap left over from the anthrax scares a few years ago and are just dying to use it.

Sooooooooooooooo.....


Heard on the radio this morning a Dallas hospital sent home a guy who was infected with Ebola. Gave him a bottle of antibiotics and sent him on his way. He was displaying symptoms and even said he had recently been to west Africa.

Awesome.

I just read on CBC that while he was in Liberia, he helped transport (physically carried) a pregnant woman suffering from Ebola to the hospital. She was turned away from the hospital and he then helped carry her back home.

Sounds to me like a little more should have been disclosed than "I travelled to Liberia". More like, "hi. I have a fever and flu like symptoms and I recently CARRIED SOMEONE AROUND who was actively suffering from Ebola.". Holy #####. Are people seriously this clueless?
