I wonder if political correctness played into the hospitals discharging the patient the first time he came to the hospital?
You know, just because a black man from Africa comes to the hospital, we shouldn't automatically think he has ebola, that would be racist.
Then again it could be simple incompetence.

It may not just be Texas. The Nurses Union out of Miami has leaked there's a patient there that may have been infected. They put out the leak based on whether or not people working in the hospitals were aware of safety issues concerning the disease.

CDC estimates that from the 1976-1977 season to the 2006-2007 flu season, flu-associated deaths ranged from a low of about 3,000 to a high of about 49,000 people. Deaths caused by flu are comprised mostly of old, and very sick people who can't fight any ailment in their frail condition. The number of deaths to the number who contract the flu any modern year is very small. That same number for Ebola is very high as it kills the young and strong with "boring" regularity. To equate the flu to Ebola is far from rational.
We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

Sure they did on the insurance. I'm sure all the forms were filled out. That's why he was sent away with meds. He's getting a free ride all the way.

Yup. No need to panic. Stress will kill a whole lot more people in this country in the coming years than ebola will. I am sure the people that shared flights and came into contact with this guy share your your sense of calm. Some will, some won't. Unfortunately, humans are lousy at risk assessment and emotions often trump rational thought. CDC estimates that from the 1976-1977 season to the 2006-2007 flu season, flu-associated deaths ranged from a low of about 3,000 to a high of about 49,000 people. The flu is much more contagious. It's contagious before, during and after symptoms develop. The flu will kill many more people on this continent in the foreseeable future, but what are people panicking about? Ebola. Because these deflections, like yours, about other risks are irrelevant red herrings. The challenge was how to prevent Ebola from coming to America. None of the experts and pols listened to the people, only offering these deflections and appeals to their authority and expertise. The experts failed! Ebola is here! Now facing the challenge of stopping Ebola from spreading all that the already failed experts and pols have are more of these deflections and appeals to their authority and expertise. Yes, the flu is here and will kill its share as always, but now Ebola is also here to kill its share.

To equate the flu to Ebola is far from rational. Plane crashes are more deadly than car crashes per event, but the chance of being involved in a fatal car crash is much higher. The influenza pandemic of 1918-1919 killed more people than the Great War, known today as World War I (WWI), at somewhere between 20 and 40 million people... The flu was most deadly for people ages 20 to 40. This pattern of morbidity was unusual for influenza which is usually a killer of the elderly and young children. It infected 28% of all Americans (Tice). An estimated 675,000 Americans died of influenza during the pandemic,I think it's unfortunate if young children or elderly people die from a disease, regardless.

At least 80, have been exposed, per fox news!!! Have been exposed OR are being monitored because it's possible they could have been exposed? There's a big difference, Chicken Little. Oh boy, its gonna get bad guys!

It's been a long time since the flu killed off tons of healthy, young people. Ebola, on the other hand, has a mortality rate of around 90% regardless of the health of the person getting it.

Ebola will be and is the new AIDS, just much faster acting and with a higher mortality rate... should it get a good hold here in the U.S., well...

Cluck, Cluck, Cluck......SWUACK! !! I've known about ebola since the 80's, I know a little about it. Its passed by more than just bodily fluids. A cough, a sneeze, sweat that runs thru the eyes and innocently wiped with your hand or forearm, fluid from the eyes, say from crying, not washing your hands after going to the bath room, etc. How many times when shaking it does a drop fling and get on your hand? A virus doesn't immediately die when exposed to the outside air. Why else do they scrub with bleach?
Say what you want, think what you want. I for one, can see what's coming. Incubation is short, where many won't see the symptoms as much more than a cold or flu.
Hopefully it'll run rampant in population centers and not spread to rural areas. A good cleansing of the hood rat population can't be a bad thing.
Ill shut up for now, and just sit back and watch and listen. Time will tell. I wish us all the best.

It's been a long time since the flu killed off tons of healthy, young people. Ebola, on the other hand, has a mortality rate of around 90% regardless of the health of the person getting it. Apples, meet the oranges..... To calculate the burden of 2009 pandemic influenza A (pH1N1) in the United States, we extrapolated from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Emerging Infections Program laboratory-confirmed hospitalizations across the entire United States, and then corrected for underreporting. From 12 April 2009 to 10 April 2010, we estimate that approximately 60.8 million cases (range: 43.3-89.3 million), 274,304 hospitalizations (195,086-402,719), and 12,469 deaths (8868-18,306) occurred in the United States due to pH1N1. Eighty-seven percent of deaths occurred in those under 65 years of age with children and working adults having risks of hospitalization and death 4 to 7 times and 8 to 12 times greater, respectively, than estimates of impact due to seasonal influenza covering the years 1976-2001. In our study, adults 65 years of age or older were found to have rates of hospitalization and death that were up to 75% and 81%, respectively, lower than seasonal influenza.Deaths 0-17 years ~1,270 ~900 to ~1,870 18-64 years ~9,420 ~6,700 to ~13,860 65 years and older ~1,580 ~1,120 to ~2,320

He knew he had been directly exposed to the virus in Africa. He knew he had a very HIGH chance of catching it (carrying around the dying patients in his homeland). He knew that he would get free health care here. He had to have lied on his air travel questionaire to get on the US flights.
He knew what he was doing all along. Tip of the iceberg, unless they prosecute him very quickly.
