It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out. Screen every feverish patient for Ebola and trace all of his/her contacts for the past two weeks and quarantine/monitor them? Where is that money going to come from? How many people will be shunted into that rat hole while the system proves they aren't Ebola?

How [bleep] stupid is that idea?


Just another one of your straw man arguments, Miles. Tell me, rocket scientist, how much would it cost just to restrict, screen or quarantine/monitor people coming here directly from the hot zones in Africa, like the infected guy in Dallas.

Once again, your argument that if you can't keep out everybody who may be infected you shouldn't keep anyone out is just absurd on its face. Call that fear mongering if you want, but it doesn't make you right.


and once again, what about the phuggers that fly elsewhere first and the people they come in contact that comes here.....it aint a linear equation, it an exponential one that goes up VERY phuggin fast....what you guys keep forgetting is WE ARE NOT DEALING WITH PEOPLE, we are dealing with an infectious disease thats spread through touch.....the initial person is far from the only phugger you have to worry about....
