Oh for god's sake. Good thing the people in charge are keeping a level head. Idiots.
They have got a point though - they are a bit of a disaster aren't they?

Dallas County commissioners meeting. Watch live here: http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/eb...siders-disaster-declaration-due-ebola-n227571
They are considering asking for disaster declaration.
Edit to add: I tried posting this while the meeting was going on, but the thread was closed. Did anybody get to watch it?

JUST IN: WASHINGTON (AP) - Obama authorizes call-up of National Guard, reserves if needed to address #Ebola.
911 dispatchers forbidden from saying Ebola on the radio

Aren't things getting a bit hysterical now? I am starting to think the hysteria is going to be far worse in the western world than the Ebola.
Places getting locked down because someone who looked at someone who once wrote to someone that travelled on the same 'plane as VA is having a bit of a funny turn.
Just a basic grasp of the usual disease timeline and how Ebola is passed on should make it clear that no one who was on the plane with VA is likely to be exhibiting symptoms yet - let alone someone who has come in to contact with someone who has been on the plane. (I doubt anyone except people sitting close to her that actually could have been within projectile vomiting distance would have been at risk in any case, and since the only symptom she had was fever it is all highly unlikely)

I wonder why they are trying to contact all 5 flights worth of people. Perhaps she did throw up on that plane and we dont know about it?
I can understand all people on her flight and maybe the people sitting in her seat isle for next flights but I dont understand all passengers from all 5 flights.

I know - it is getting quite surreal. Whatever next? Everyone that walked through the airport in Dallas within a four hour window of her arrival?
Posting the paper about dogs and Ebola has absolutely nothing to do with spreading panic.
Has anyone suggested that the streets are going to be overrun by Ebola riddled dogs?
It has got to do with truth though. It has to do with some people providing links and evidence which repeatedly gets ignored or dismissed.
I do not think dogs are a risk in general at all, but the paper does show that they might pick up the virus and therefore be a potential risk for a few days, so quarantine of the pets of affected patients is not an unreasonable thing to do.
What irritates is people repeating that dogs an cats do not pass on diseases to humans and that there is absolutely no evidence that dogs could carry Ebola or pass it on. There is evidence - it may not be overwhelming but it does exist and to say it does not when it ha been posted on here several times isn't really right is it?
Right? I'm curious as to why the window of suspicion towards possible cases is growing.I know - it is getting quite surreal. Whatever next? Everyone that walked through the airport in Dallas within a four hour window of her arrival?

The scary thing is, going back to my post #555, if this were actually "airborne," that's exactly who would need to be quarantined. Everyone in that terminal, and everyone in the Cleveland terminal.
