Ebola and Work assignments
 

How does anyone out here feel about getting on a passenger airliner , not knowing if the person sitting next to you has been infected with this virus ? Temperature monitoring at those airports receiving passengers from the known affected region in the world with Ebola does very little to convince folks that our Government is watching out for us.
Personally, I don't think this was given enough attention at the onset and the resultant efforts are far too weak to ensure safety for the travelling public. There has not been enough effort put into the safety of the travelling public. This is not an HIV outbreak , this is a killer virus that has the ability to mutate and work itself into our personal lives.
There is just now a report of a Dallas hospital worker becoming infected with this Ebola virus ........... We have been told just last week that Ebola would not be spread here in the USA.

Given the 10-day incubation period, passengers could be infected even if they don't have a temperature. The temperature check that is being instituted is nothing a couple of Tylenol can't defeat. If an asymptomatic infected Ebola patient's body temperature is normal then what is the point of taking temperatures?

We are all victims of brain dead leadership.

Sit in 1st class and drink scotch.

So, what you are saying is: as long as the two 300lb passengers I am sandwiched between in coach aren't sweating, spitting, bleeding, puking or shatting themselves - everything is good! :eek: :rolleyes:

First of all, our government needs to ban all flights from and to the affected regions.

Ya all better "stock up" in case this becomes an epidemic in the U.S. What I mean is emergency food rations for yourself and your family for a minimum of 3 months; 1 year would be better.

If you don't already, have "personal family protection".

Enough said!

God help us all....

I guess you haven't been on an RJ lately. Very hard not to share vomit, sweat, blood, saliva, urine or feces. The question should be does the person who sat here before you have Ebola?

In which prepper episode are you featured?

Unfortunately, i've been on plenty of RJ's and I think that you're exaggerating and being a bit dramatic.;)

Eight years ago my best friends wife was taking their two kids on their annual home school trip. They stopped at a McDonalds in Bakersfield for lunch. When leaving the resturant she complained to the son that a guy leaving the restroom sneezed in her face as they passed in a hallway. She was dead of bacterial meningitis about 15 hours later in a Flagstaff hospital. She was 42 and in perfect health prior to the trip. Meningitis normally is transmitted by kissing, sharing eating utensils or drinking from a shared glass. That would indicate that it is carried in saliva. So, a sneeze can kill. I don't know if Ebola can be transmitted this way but it seems that it might.Anyone who has ever spent the endless hours jammed shoulder to schoulder with strangers over the ocean in an airliner knows the score.
