Ebola Containment In The Us > Your Thoughts & Ideas

[Missouri_Mike]

I would do something so fucking radical it should have been the very first thing any thinking person would come up with.

Shut down the southern border crossings and stop people from the effected African countries from getting here through our airports. Then quarantine those effected and here in Gitmo.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Since conservatives believe that the private sector can do better at anything compared to the government,

how about the government just do NOTHING regarding Ebola,

and let the genius private sector handle it?

Good idea?

So you want to turn over border control and immigration to the private sector now? The government doing nothing on the borders can't be overcome.

No, you conservatives do. You think the government can't do anything as well as the private sector can.

And, for instance, you people think that the federal CDC is unconstitutional because nowhere in the Constution does it authorize the federal government to have a national health agency.

They obviously aren't doing well. We have ebola cases showing up within our borders and 100k illegals ran across the southern border. How is that government doing well?

 

[DriftingSand]

Prohibit all travel from the USA to Africa and prohibit all travel from Africa to the USA. Period!! If someone from the USA just MUST travel to Africa then give them a one-way ticket.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

I'd send Democrats to watch after patient zero and his family

Name one thing the federal government does within budget, on time and with no mistakes....Have a nice life.

Other........I would limit travel to essential personnel, and require isolation and a blood test before leaving the infected regions as a mandate for travel from Ebola Land.

 

[Silhouette]

The OP wants to set up concentration camps in abandoned schools with on site incinerators surrounded by armed guards?

Now where did he get that idea from?

I guess hospital isolation wards are also "concentration camps" by your definition. I mean, the patients there are not at liberty to walk around and mingle with the other patients. Sounds like a death camp to me.

Seriously, when someone in your neighborhood comes down with ebola, you'll be changing your mind about being prepared in advance. So we'll just proceed as if time has elapsed and you've already arrived there mentally...

How To Protect Yourself Against Ebola

This week saw the first confirmed case of Ebola virus within the United States, the latest development in an outbreak that has already claimed over 3,000 lives. Here are some ways you can protect yourself against this deadly disease:

• Boil all bodily fluids before consumption.
• Regularly examine your DNA under an electron microscope for any indication that Ebola has attached itself to your cell membranes.
• Recognize the symptoms of Ebola, which include fever, chills, and developing symptoms too late to do anything about them.
• Cover the nose and mouth of Ebola patients when they sneeze to avoid spreading germs.
• Avoid eating bat soup, which is actually pretty sound advice whether there’s an ongoing Ebola outbreak or not.
• Ebola can only be spread once patients are symptomatic, so if you believe you’ve been exposed, get all your errands and public trips out of the way before your symptoms start showing.
• Be sure to stay up to date on developments by signing up for the official CDC phone tree.
• Try being born one of the 15 percent of rural Gabonese citizens with natural immunity to the virus.
• Give billions of dollars to pharmaceutical companies.
• If you see a suspicious-looking filamentous virus particle roughly one micron in length, stay away.
• Continue following lifelong plan of avoiding Dallas, TX at all costs.

What about it makes you laugh so hard? The high mortality rate of ebola patients? Or that its showing up in the US?

What makes me laugh so hard is that the extent of your delusional fear of ebola is so great that you're honestly suggesting building concentration camps in America.

I'd rather die from ebola than live in a hysterical fear-driven authoritarian regime that so concerned about "safety" that "liberty" disappears.

I laugh because it's better than crying.

Give me Liberty or give me death. Ebola is death.

Which part of that don't you understand? U.S. customs already has checks in place for foreign travel. Do you have anything to declare sir?

Did my liberty just die........Taking your temp and asking you where you have traveled......oops its on the passport........Have your liberties died by showing your passport?

Sir, you have been to Liberia........New laws require extra screening please proceed to the right and a U.S. customs agent will ask you questions and inform you of precautions to take since you have traveled to an area with a known infectious disease...........

MY GOD.......the rights lost to this person.......he had to get extra screening by U.S. customs...........

Hysterical loss of Civil Liberties.

The Horse you rode in on.

Some choose to live in Reality, and others don't. Ebola is real. The death caused by it is real. Realistic people understand that there are times that our country should take extra precautions to attempt to limit the possibility of the virus coming here.

That doesn't mean we are jumping up and down saying EVERYONE IS GOING TO DIE........That is a straw man argument for the politically Lame Ass Party.

That is a matter of opinion and some discard your opinion as a joke from the onset of the first letter you type.

Adults look at matters in this world with Reality. And use logic and reason to make opinions on topics like this one. And people like me are saying that we need to Isolate the disease to Ebola Land. If that means people have to take extra steps at the airport then so be it.

In Sierra Leon, they have placed 2 million people on house arrest for a period of 3 weeks in hopes of finding all who have the disease so they can end the spread. That is a drastic measure in a place that is fighting the spread of this disease.

Some people would say that is a loss of Civil Liberties of these people. Others would say this is common sense and a rational attempt to stop the disease. I hope it works there.

This topic is big news now unless you live under a rock. So these threads will continue to have many threads as people discuss current events in the world. Those that think our current policy of not limiting travel will post as you do. Calling us fear mongers and scared because that is what you do in defense of your opinions and ideals. That is your problem and not mine.

The WHO and CDC has stated that they don't want travel bans at this time. Saying modern countries can stop the spread if it gets to these countries.

I disagree with that, as I would rather put other road blocks in effect to attempt to try and isolate this disease.

The private sector would do just fine if the government didn't meddle in everything.

The first thing the private sector would have done would have been to shut down flights from W. Africa.

But unfortunately, our government not only fucks up everything it touches, it makes it impossible for anyone else to take charge. You have the CDC prancing around telling the world there's no problem, Obama saying we have it all under control, and you know what? Stupid people believe them. In their rush to assure everybody that it was A-Ok, they kept information from the hospitals and the airlines....

The *pro-science* and *pro-education* progressives strike again...and again their efforts to keep knowledge from people and deny the science leads to deaths, sickness, despair. What else is new.

So why hasn't "the private sector" done exactly that?

Nothing is stopping Delta airlines or any other airline from suspending flights to ebola-ridden countries. Why haven't they, if the private sector is the answer here?
