Rwanda To Screen U.S. And Spanish Visitors To Keep Out Ebola KIGALI, Rwanda (AP) — Rwanda's Ministry of Health is requiring visitors who have been in the United States or Spain during the previous 22 days to report their medical condition to health authorities upon arrival in Rwanda, the U.S. Embassy in Rwanda said Tuesday. A Ministry of Health document says all passengers from the U.S. and Spain - two countries that have seen cases of Ebola - will have temperatures taken upon arrival. Passengers with fevers will be denied entry, and those without fevers will still be required to report daily health conditions. Dr. Agnes Binagwaho, Rwanda's health minister, said Tuesday that travelers from the U.S. and Spain will be required to fill a detailed form upon arrival at border entry points. "It is definitely extra work for us. We have to ensure that all citizens or any other travelers arriving from the above mentioned countries including the U.S have to be screened in an extra careful manner and follow up on them during their stay," Bingwaho said. No Ebola cases have been reported in Rwanda. The U.S. Embassy said that Rwanda is not allowing visitors who have recently traveled to Guinea, Liberia, Senegal, or Sierra Leone, though the incoming health form advises those traveling from those countries must also report health conditions daily. Rwanda has quarantined 30 people since the Ebola outbreak. No U.S. citizens have been quarantined. One German national has been quarantined. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/10/21/rwanda-us-ebola_n_6022032.html
Lmao, nice. Anyway, it appears the Ebola "crisis" in the US is fading away, no one who came within "3 feet!" of the victim is displaying any symptoms. And all without resorting to rep panic and overreaction. But, Obama has another secret plot to kill everyone and turn the survivors into socialists! 300,000 people in U.S. have Chagas disease as country unsure how to deal with growing threat Published October 21, 2014 Fox News Latino "As the world continues to grapple with the Ebola epidemic raging in West Africa, there's growing concern about another invasive disease whose origin is much closer to home. "Chagas – along with its cousins Dengue Fever and the Chikungunya virus – is a disease found mainly in Latin America, but is starting to gain a foothold in the U.S. Caused by a parasite inside triatomines, or "kissing bugs," Chagas causes fever, fatigue, body aches, headache and other symptoms in its early stages, while more severe symptoms such as cardiac arrest and megacolon emerge in its chronic phase. "While the disease is found mainly in poor, rural parts of Latin America – the U.S.’s Center for Disease Control estimates that 8 million people in the region live with the disease – isolated cases of Chagas have begun to crop up throughout the U.S. in places like Louisiana, Texas and Virginia. The CDC believes that there are currently 300,000 people infected with Chagas in the U.S., enough for a clinic devoted to diagnosing and treating the disease to open at Olive View-UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles and doctors in New York City and Georgia to start screening patients who have travelled to Latin America. "The disease is not classified by health officials as endemic, leaving many doctors to fail to diagnose Chagas or not think that people could contract the disease in the U.S. Medical research, however, suggests that 40,000 pregnant North American women may be infected with the disease at any given time, resulting in 2,000 congenital cases through mother-to-child transmission." http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/he...s-disease-as-country-unsure-who-to-deal-with/ Another tropical disease creeping north, thanks to global cooling (another Obama plot).
The proper strategy to contain Chagas is very simple - keep the illegals from Latin America out of the U.S. Any questions?
Actually U.S. Customs does a much better job of keeping foreign meat, plants, insects, fruits, and animals out than it does with illegal immigrants.
Many are smuggled in by people and not declared --- leading to them being taken away. Of course, we don't have this level of screening for the illegal immigrants pouring over the border.
And those, after all, are the "real" Americans. Remember Christopher Columbus? He just had a day recently.
