New user 1351 Austin, Texas | Subject: RE: EBOLA on American Soil!!!! Nice of that guy to lie on the form about having been in contact with an Ebola patient. When I saw the guy's flight itinerary I had to do a double take, I had flown the same itinerary (the Washington Dulles to Dallas part at least) just 2 days after he did. |

Pro 15655 | Subject: RE: EBOLA on American Soil!!!! It's the name! Just say to yourself, "I've got Ebola"....that's enough to scare the crap out of anyone. Wikipedia says about 36,000 deaths per year from the flu in the U.S. and most people don't even get vaccinated against it.,.....because it's the flu....the name does not conjur fear. Say it to yourself, "I've got the flu"....eh, big deal. I propose they change the name to Lala....it'll just make everyone feel better about the whole deal. |

| Deep in the Heart of Texas | Subject: RE: EBOLA on American Soil!!!! While I have no fear of my family or I contracting Ebola, I do believe the United States needs to be a little more proactive about it. Apparently, there are over 10,000 people from the 3 major countries with Ebola outbreaks which hold US Visas (many of which might already be in the US and not a factor). I think, at the very least, the State Department should tighten the restrictions for visitors from those countries. Given the 70% mortality rate of Ebola in those countries, it is not surprising that those potentially infected would want to be in the US for treatment (and give false information to that end). |

Champion 7821 Brooklyn, NY | Subject: RE: EBOLA on American Soil!!!! I'd like to know what percentage of the people who are completely losing their minds about Ebola also don't bother to get seasonal flu shots. Conservatively, I'd put it at about 99%. |

Another issue is flight routing and frequent flyers...someone leaving from one of those African countires could potentially be routed through 4-5 different airports and if symptoms don't present until 10-17 days later... |

It doesn't matter. You are not contagious unless you are symptomatic. It's really not easy to contract this disease from everything I've been sent (yes, there are all kinds of bulletins flying around to govt. agencies regarding this issue). We are apparently geearing up for World War E. LMAO Edited by Left Brain 2014-10-03 12:33 PM |

I'll take the under. I thought I heard that in W Africa that 4,000 people had died for Ebola, hell we kill more than that every month just for driving around. 96.5, that would be a good minimum wage, then everyone would be living well! (I'll catch up with you on the other threads soon |

Champion 15211 Southern Chicago Suburbs, IL | Subject: RE: EBOLA on American Soil!!!! I think if a town in Liberia can figure it out, then so can we. Still not worried no matter how many places tell me I should be, including those that should know better in the medical community. Disclaimer: I am not an MD but I am a microbiologist. |
