That's not the literal definition of pandemic. One or two people having it in another country is not a pandemic. It hasn't spread widely in this country; what has spread widely in this country is hysteria.It has not reached pandemic proportions. What has reach pandemic proportions is the hysteria and fear mongering.What is truly disturbing is that people seem to be putting their partisanship and political correctness BEFORE the health of our citizens. Honestly, I don't care if it disrupts somebody's business or not; that should not be a factor when it comes to a deadly virus that has reached pandemic proportions. I don't care if Obama says he hugs and kisses nurses who have treated Ebola patients. WHY is he telling us that?
Once a disease spreads from continent to continent, it is considered a pandemic. I don't know why people are insisting upon minimizing it. It is a serious disease that kills 60% to 70% of the people who contract it.
Why is it than that the US can ban flights to Cuba?The thought the US can't stop global travel stumped you.The typo that stumped a moron apparentlyWhat's ibola?
By God, Quarantine Texas.And why the hell are we flying the infected all around the country?
Isolate this shit before it gets out of control.

This is what the fear mongering is meant to do, to make people think authorities are being irresponsible, etc. The UK brought a doctor home who had Ebola, so he could be treated there, so why are American citizens acting as if the American authorities are irresponsible, that the president is at fault for this nurse contracting Ebola, that he is putting us all at risk?It seems like they are very irresponsible in handling this. They should be giving travel advisories. They should be being honest with us instead of trying to placate us. It just seems strange that instead of saying to take common sense precautions but not to panic because in our country, the disease is not nor should it reach epidemic proportions, but instead our president is telling us that he hugs and kisses Ebola nurses and feels fine. ????

Ahhhhhh!!!Because we don't make policy decisions based on the irrational and uninformed panic of people who don't actually know what they're talking about.

Yup, politics is much more important than life or death.I think stopping all traffic out of Texas might cause some political problems.

Why do you conservatives want the federal government meddling in disease monitoring and control?
Where is that enumerated in the Constitution?
So you are advocating the elimination of the CDC?Why do you conservatives want the federal government meddling in disease monitoring and control?

What in the hell is wrong with you? Are you truly so partisan? That is really a "virus" in itself, I think. It is our government's responsibility to protect us from "foreign invaders."

Enhanced screening measures aimed at finding travelers infected with Ebola will be utilized at five of the busiest international airports in the United States, federal authorities said Wednesday...There are no direct flights on U.S. carriers from these countries to the United States, so people arrive through connections in other cities. More than 90 percent of people who fly to the United States from the three Ebola-ridden countries arrive at one of these five airports. During a recent 12-month period, nearly half of travelers from these countries flew through Kennedy Airport, the CDC says.
