http://www.cnn.com/2014/07/31/health/ebola-outbreak/index.htmlI wish them well and all but not clear on how wise this is (especially since this is only a few hundred miles from me and mine)....
How much are they paying the pilots?
Man, this whole circumstance sure reminds me of
[b][color:#3333FF]"28 Days Later"[/color][/b], sure hope they know what they're doing...
In the spirit of american exceptionalism, we have nothing to worry about
That's why 0 was elected. We have nothing to worry about.
I think Obummer ought to be the one to welcome them home. With any luck he'll catch a case of it himself and save us all the trouble of having to put up with the sorry POS.

OK Mary Poppins, whatever you say.
Maybe they want the virus to be among familiar surroundings?
I sure do hope there is a clinically justified reason for doing this vs being a hail mary, "We felt like we had to do something because we just felt so bad about them becoming infected...".
Maybe a world class hospital can learn something useful by having them there???

That's my guess. There are world-class isolation units here in the US, and none in west Africa. There are world-class virology labs here in the US, and none in west Africa.
Our people want/need to get hands on this disease in a controlled environment.
...Our people want/need to get hands on this disease in a controlled environment.
AMEN! The sooner we get a handle on this, the better. There is a lot to be learned about how this beast works!

Lets all hope we don't get a real close look at how it works. The CDC has had a few missteps recently. If this sucker gets lose it won't be like anything we have ever seen before. Just A thought but it might be a good time to shut off the flow of potential carriers across the southern border. Consider one deliberately infected terrorist over the border and into a major city.

So why not stop all travel to and from infected nations.
And as for the infected Americans, they are your countrymen and you look after your own as it is a part of the membership benefits for being in the citizen club.
Brillent!

Welcome them home hell...The sumbitch ought to hop on air force one & go pick em up himself...
And so it begins.........

Your CDC and other associated facilities have been handling Ebola and other diseases of the same family for years. They have a degree of expertise which is just not availble in Africa..
Indeed,....and a credible tribe of ex-pats have been globe trotting for years, ... confident in knowing that that facility was THERE, should one sucumb to any number of maladies.
Doesn't look to be any middle ground on this one,...an issue that will continue to be plagued with craziness and extremism.

this chit is how zombie virus outbreaks happen.

there's not a perfect or fail-safe system out there anywhere that I know of.
antrax and smallpox have been in the news related to the CDC just recently.
Hey!
What's in this old forgotten freezer?
Hey Bob,
Open up that bottle and see if it's smells okay......
Yep.
Here it comes....
How much are they paying the pilots?
They should use Air Force One !

Put a plastic bag over your head it will keep the viruses out.
Send all the sick to DC and let Obama go visit his cousins

Like we don't have a biological warfare group sitting around with a supply on hand. I suspect it's been well researched.
Like, we probably don't have this variant of Ebola on hand.
It is behaving very differently than previous Ebola virus outbreaks, which means it's probably mutated in one or more critical genes, and our virologists need to get hands on it and find out how it's changed and how it might be defeated.
Or, if you're right and we DO have this virus on hand, that would mean that someone took it out of the lab and introduced the virus into the population in Africa, either deliberately or accidentally... which I personally consider an appalling thought, and highly unlikely.
Hmm.... Bringing 2 known carriers of Ebola (a virus with a 60-90% attrition rate & NO known cure) in to the continental United States, in the hands of a Government agency at a time when most of us (those with common sense) are questioning whether the current administration has our best interests in mind (think open borders, Bengazi, Fast n Furious).
What could possible go wrong?
Anyone interested in opening a hazmat uniform company with me?
Was thinking a napalm production facility might be a plan.

I hope you're right Doc but I don't have as much trust in our govt. as you do.
They've been incinerating chemical weapons in Anniston,Alabama for years, what's a little Ebola virus to worry about.

This can't possibly end well.
This can't possibly end well.
Under a different administration, possibly, but given what we've got, you are correct, we're screwed.
word on the street is that at least one patient is flying into Cobb county in NW Atl area, and going on to Emory hospital on the other side of town.
that'd be scheduled for Monday, and the Pentagon is calling the shots?
so, the other patients location is yet to be announced.
so, there's nothing much to see. just a disease from one side of the world being shipped to the other side of the world under strict human control.
Wonder if the stowaway will make it alive and escape into the populace being possibly infected??
I get the distinct idea that both patients are going to be in the same care facility?
check wsbtv.com for latest updates as approved by the powers that be.
the doctors don't seem to be the least bit scared.
I do remember smallpox kilt a lot of Native Americans, but it wasn't done on purpose.
I wonder how the breakdown in the system occurred, to allow the two American patients to become infected? lack of resources, maybe?
I just heard from Fox, related to the debacle.
I wonder why the diseased territories aren't being compartmentalized to reduce the likelihood of spread?
maybe they are being compartmentalized, and they've not yet told us?
in other words, how does the human genetics work to shut down the spread of the disease from beyond it's current boundaries?
is the UN involved?
we don't need to hear from a bunch of PR people, we want to hear the words emanating from the mouths of the Doctors who are actually involved. the PR people can take a break.
I got a Fox news alert they are flying into Dobbins Air Force (Marietta, GA) base then going to a specially designed location at Emory Univ Hospital.

Stop, you'll scare Hawkeye

The upside is that I'd finally have a legitimate excuse for the twenty BX-25 magazines I got for my 10/22.
If only drugs were legal this wouldn't be happening.
Gods will= CDC, CIA, NSA, DOD...
That's good to know...now I no longer feel guilty.
God made the heaven's and earth, just as he made [bleep] and [bleep].
