2nd case of Ebola in DFW

I truly hate you, you are the loudest mouth have no facts just like all the left wing moron liberals in America, whiny jealous type all of you are, entitled to everything...if there were no liberals this country would be awesome
do not address me on this site again or slander my name, you hear me fat boy? you keep calling me fat and I saw your video of you whining when the ugly woman poured ice water on you, you are fat as a fucking pig
umm....it would be martial law, not Marshall. Marshall plan was the economic aid package put together by the US to help rebuild Europe after WWII.
Thanks for your service. FDC.
I personally do not think that this ebola outbreak is a planned attack on the citizenry of this country so that President Obama can take over.
I do think the response by this administration and the CDC has been poor.
#1 rule in stopping an epidemic or a pandemic is containment. Ebola never should have made it off the African continent. To hear CDC director Frieden say that commercial flights are needed to fly in medical supplies, personnel and equipment is horseshit. Almost every federal agency has its own personal aircraft. I know that the CDC does. Or use military jets or C-130's.
Of course, if you ban air travel to West Africa as well as barring entry to the US of anyone from West Africa, it kinda makes the argument for amnesty pretty hard, don't ya think?
Food for thought: Viruses mutate. It is what they do. There is enough empirical evidence out there, at least to me, to say that ebola can be spread through airborne transmission. Why? Over one hundred medical personnel are dead from ebola after caring for patients wearing haz-mat gear with masks - not respirators. Do you think all 100+ of those trained medical staff had a haz-mat gear removal protocol error that led to their infection?
There is already a strain of ebola - Ebola Reston - that has been shown to be transmissible by air. That particular strain does not infect humans but pigs and monkeys.
So, let's say this strain - is transmissible through the air. Hospitals should be equipped with powered respirators. Much cheaper than the cost of quarantining and treating an ebola patient. Humans are very poor hosts for this virus- we die too quickly - what if the virus mutates or has mutated to where humans are contagious before symptomatic? If it can mutate to become airborne - why can it not mutate in other ways?
Commercial air traffic to and from West Africa needs to be heavily restricted or banned.
Anyone coming into the country from that area needs to be quarantined for 21 days.
Anyone who has been in contact with any US patient needs to be quarantined for 21 days.

I have no facts huh? Tell me on factual thing you said? What part of Obama declaring Marshall law (I spell it like you called it hedge which is why i capitalized it in the first place) is fact? What part of a thing you said is fact? I'll address you any fucking time I damn well please. Yeah I'm sure you watched my video and I'm sure your gluttonous ass got jealous of my svelte fucking ass. I'll tell you what expand-o man. I'd be more than willing to put a good amount of money in who is the fatter of the two. I promise you I'd win that going away. You haven't seen a size 34 jeans or 202 lbs in twenty years. Have ya blimpie?
I almost forgot, slander your name? That's impossible for anyone to do as your name is shit, fucking loser. And what the fuck would you or could you do about it anyway, fucking deadbeat.
Fox News' Shepard Smith destroys Ebola fear-mongering in 4 minutes
Fox News' Shepard Smith destroys Ebola fear-mongering in 4 minutes
Well, maybe now that Fox News has said it, certain individuals may believe that there is no outbreak....and that it isn't Obama's plan!!! LOL
Ebola is a very scary disease with horrifying symptoms, but it poses very little risk to the US.
Despite that, the conversation surrounding the disease has become exceptionally heated in recent days. Republicans have accused the Obama administration of mishandling the outbreak. Democrats have blamed the disease's spread on Republican-backed budget cuts. Politicians from both parties have called for a travel ban for flights in and out of Ebola-stricken countries. Media outlets have run stories that suggest, with little scientific basis, the disease could go airborne. The public is also calling on the government to do more.
On Wednesday, Fox News' Shepard Smith said everyone needs to calm down.
"Unless a medical professional has contacted you personally and told you of some sort of possible exposure, fear not," Smith said. "Do not listen to the hysterical voices on the radio and the television or read the fear-provoking words online. The people who say and write hysterical things are being very irresponsible."
He later added, "We do not have an outbreak of Ebola in the United States. Nowhere. We do have two health-care workers who contracted the disease from a dying man. They are isolated. There is no information to suggest that the virus has spread to anyone in the general population in America ? not one person in the general population in the United States."
What is the Ebola virus?
Most people's views of Ebola are probably informed by Hollywood ? they think of it as a deadly and contagious virus that swirls around the world, striking everyone in its path and causing them to hemorrhage from their eyeballs, ears and mouth until there is no more blood to spill.
In reality, Ebola is something quite different. About half of the people who contract Ebola die. The others return to a normal life after a months-long recovery that can include periods of hair loss, sensory changes, weakness, fatigue, headaches, eye and liver inflammation.
As for the blood: While Ebola can cause people to hemorrhage, about half of Ebola sufferers ever experience that Biblical bleeding that's become synonymous with the virus.
More often than not, Ebola strikes like the worst and most humiliating flu you could imagine. People get the sweats, along with body aches and pains. Then they start vomiting and having uncontrollable diarrhea. These symptoms can appear anywhere between two and 21 days after exposure to the virus. Sometimes, they go into shock. Sometimes, they bleed. Again, about half of those infected with the virus die, and this usually happens fairly quickly ? within a few days or a couple of weeks of getting sick.
There are five strains of Ebola, four of which have caused the disease in humans: Zaire, Sudan, Ta? Forest, and Bundibugyo. The fifth, Reston, has infected nonhuman primates only. Though scientists haven't been able to confirm this, the animal host of Ebola is widely believed to be the fruit bat, and the virus only seldomly makes the leap into humans.
The Ebola virus is extremely rare. Among the leading causes of death in Africa, it only accounts for a tiny fraction. People are much more likely to die from AIDS, respiratory infections, or diarrhea, as you can see.
The current outbreak involves the Zaire strain, which was discovered in 1976 ? the year Ebola was first identified in what was then Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo). That same year, the virus was also discovered in South Sudan.
Since 1976, there have only been about 20 known Ebola outbreaks. Until last year, the total impact of these outbreaks included 2,357 cases and 1,548 deaths, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. They all occurred in isolated or remote areas of Africa, and Ebola never had a chance to go very far.
And that's what makes the 2014 outbreak so remarkable: the virus has spread to five countries in Africa plus America, and has already infected more than 8,000 people. It has killed more than 4,000 people. That is more than triple the sum total of all previous outbreaks combined.
Peace!

I sure hope he is right. Finally a post I agree with you on :0008
This post sounds a lot like some posts I made days ago!?

I did not pat my back dude, but at this point it doesn't matter anyway. Who gives a shit, I used to, but it passed.
Seems to be a popular sentiment that I take things to personally. I suppose that's a fair statement, I just might.
I'm okay with that. I think it may be related to me being a naturally sensitive person. I always have been. I've been reduced to tears many a time when I walk into shelter and within moments 47 or more dogs begin barking and howling and continue to without having any way to actually see me, until I say hello to each one of them. I like caring about things. I like the fact that I can be moved by kindness, appreciation, compassion, and friendship even if it's only from a dog. I like that those who know me, even those in here, know me smiling and laughing. I may seem to be more forceful of opinion on some issues than others such as pit bulls, but wouldn't that make sense for everybody if it was something they were passionate about?
Oh well man, it is what it is. I dig me......
Hope this helps,
FDC
