And they were "over there". So who cares? Your time would have been better spent ranting about the progress on a vaccine than on praying. But now here you are, and calling me names isn't going to change a thing.
1. being that you are big govt loving, anti christian bigot who is apparently in favor of letting people with ebola into the country... .. calling you names is appropriate. 2. as far as suggestions... As I have stated probably a dozen times now we can cancel flights in from ebola impacted areas and/or make sure everyone traveling from there goes into a quarantine or something similarly logical.
I would dismiss DB's questions about how inthe world could we prevent travel form these areas as typical trollism, but in fact the head of the CDC has taken a similar position, as has our genius president. First, we stop giving people in these countries visas. It's still unclear how the guy who came here with it and infected health care workers got a visa. Bribery most likely. So no more visas. End of that problem. Two, no direct or connecting flights to these countries. No admission to anyone with a visa stamp from there or a passport from one of the countries. Will it be 100% effective? No, but it is a lot better than doing nothing. The wide open border is a bigger problem, since obama is adamant about letting in as many hispanics as possible prior to his illegal executive amnesty. He's willing to risk letting in ebola carreirs and terroriststs if that's what it takes to help his party's far left. The head of CDC made a big deal that shutting off travel would complicate efforts to treat the disease in africa. First, even if true, that is a secondary concern. The number one priority of our government should be to protect us. Two, any transport that is necessary for humanitarian aid can be handled through charter or military flights, which is a much better idea anyway.
Yes, you've stated it a dozen times, but it remains nonsense. You have no way of knowing who's been where on incoming flights. Not everyone flies directly from Ebola Country to the US. As I asked in the other thread, how many incoming flights are there to the continental US every day? How many passengers are on those flights? AAA would rather not think about it. It makes his head hurt. But you allegedly graduated from law school. You ought to be able to come up with something that you didn't pull off breitbart. And let's not forget the reason why we don't have a vaccine by now.
have you ever used a passport DBola? I remember when Yugosalvia managed to keep eastern Europeans in and let Westerner's back and forth ... and they did not even have computers. You would get to the border crossing and the guard would say Passport please. This still goes on today. For instance when I went to Belize 2 years ago, I got off the plane and I went through an area called Customs they checked my Passport and asked me questions. Note... the republicans gave the CDC more money than Obama asked for.
You're not really that naive, are you jembolaya? Either way, you still haven't answered the questions. How many miles, how many flights, how many passengers? But I won't ask again. That you've avoided them over and over again answers them in a different way.
I've got him on IGNORE .... but I see some of the incredibly stupid drivel he posts when he's quoted by someone replying to him. I see now he's posting about humans and animals having sex.
only a douchey moron acts like we can't use the FAA to stop the flights and customs to screen the passengers. You think this is rocket science? Its called being a Sovereign country.
here is zuckerberg trying to get out in front of the potential disaster he was in part sponsoring. http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Govern...s-Mark-Zuckerberg-Donates-25M-to-Combat-Ebola On Monday, Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg announced that he and his wife Priscilla, a doctor, "are donating $25 million to the Centers for Disease Control Foundation to help fight Ebola." Zuckerberg and his pro-open borders lobbying group FWD.us spent a like amount this year to get amnesty and more guest-worker visas. "The Ebola epidemic is at a critical turning point. It has infected 8,400 people so far, but it is spreading very quickly and projections suggest it could infect 1 million people or more over the next several months if not addressed," Zuckerberg wrote on his Facebook page."We need to get Ebola under control in the near term so that it doesn't spread further and become a long term global health crisis that we end up fighting for decades at large scale, like HIV or polio." Zuckerberg's donation will no doubt make a huge and immediate difference, but the best way to contain the Ebola virus may be to limit visas and not push for the open borders policies that Zuckerberg has advocated. In fact, Zuckerberg's FWD.us group has spent at least $25 million this election cycle for pro-amnesty candidates and causes, which equals Zuckerberg's donation to help combat Ebola. High-tech groups have demanded massive increases in guest-worker visas that would lower the wages of American workers, even though there is not a shortage of American high-tech workers. Travel bans and visa limitations may be the better short-term ways to prevent Ebola from coming to America. On Sunday, House Homeland Security Chair Mike McCaul (R-TX) said that the U.S. should consider suspending visas from West Africa until Ebola is better contained. Thomas Eric Duncan, the first person to be diagnosed with Ebola on American soil, entered the country on a visa under suspicious circumstances. (He should never have been awarded one.) After his death, a Texas nurse who had been treating him contracted Ebola, becoming the first American on U.S. soil to get Ebola via person-to-person transmission. Zuckerberg said he hoped his grant "is the quickest way to empower the CDC and the experts in this field to prevent this outcome" and would "help the frontline responders in their heroic work." "These people are on the ground setting up care centers, training local staff, identifying Ebola cases and much more," he added. "We are hopeful this will help save lives and get this outbreak under control."
You make my head hurt. You seem to think that anything less than 100% success would be unacceptable. If we can keep one ebola carrier out and save a nurse or a child's life here, isn't it worth it? Of course we know where plane passengers have been. They have to get visas, get them stamped, etc plus the airlines keep records of who flies where. If you just kept out people with passports from those countries or who had visas from there, it would be a massive improvement over what we are doing now, whcih is basically keeping our fingers crossed and blaming Bush.
