Type matters. At least per about 100+ stories I've read about his donating.

I don't think that is going to be any air travel suspended, ValentineWiggins, it may be just a gesture because mid term elections are near and some of the politicians are trying to win some approvals.

We all want those air travel coming from oversea stopped, but we all know that the air transportation will take a big hit, economically, we all now that when it comes to business and money we are secondary

If the government won't restrict flights, maybe the people ought to:

1. Stop booking flights
2. Stop flying the flights pilots
3. Stop working the flights ground and flight crews
4. Stop handling baggage

They can't fire everyone if everyone refuses. And if the companies can't survive, oh well, poor risk management and planning. New ones will spring up when this is under control.

ETA: Like the cleaners at LaGuardia did (whatever happened to that?)

That's funny,

I agree but remember capitalism takes over common sense, because some can keep themselves safe and clear with the right amount of money we the common people have to work for a living.

Thanks! Generally when I don't take the time to research something like its because I'm posting from work.

a reply to: bella2256
thank you. I was trying like mad to understand that. It was well over my head but seemed like something. Just trying to educate myself as best as I can.


Meanwhile not sure if anyone has reported it as I only saw it on local news, another possible case is hospitalized in the university of Kansas medical center.

Do you have a link to the news station report?

There's going to be a CDC press conference in a couple of minutes. Just letting y'all know.

Thanks for the heads up.

lol, We called him Dr. Doogie. This kid was amazing. He called my husband aside before we left and thanked him for being nice to him (I was in and out of consciousness most of the time). Hubby was surprised and asked about it...Dr. Doogie (whom we keep up with even now after 16 years) said that most people thought he was creepy because of his youth plus intelligence...either that or they just didn't take him seriously. He's doing great things, and we're so blessed to have met him!

My doctor? A 19 year old who had been out of medical school for 4 YEARS.

A doctor at 15? If the person doesn't have a Nobel prize, I think I would pass. 3rd world medical school or what.

Were you treated by doogie howser?

Wait until you get to my age. All of your doctors will be Doogie Howser.

Don't want to cause a thread drift, but age is not the sole barometer for intelligence, and intelligence is not synonymous with wisdom.

Yeah it is funny. But we also have some control too. And power. We just never seem to us it anymore, along with that common sense you mention. Grrrr.

Conference is starting now...

a reply to: texasgirl

Don't you think the tone of this seems different? More ominous?

I reeeally hope I am just reading too much into it. But we're at that window where people would likely be showing symptoms, like Pham.

I'm a bit apprehensive as to what they are going to say, TBH. If it's more health care workers, my God, it will be very hard to manage from a hospitals/healthcare workers standpoint if one patient can potentially infect multiple caregivers taking precautions.

Hopefully it's just about how CDC will proceed going forward.

Oh geebus. He's saying that NOW (past 48 hours) their most expert experts are in Dallas. Ummmm.

a reply to: ~Lucidity

Well here is the topical briefing:

emergency.cdc.gov...

So, may it's nothing more than what they will do going forward. I hope.

They are talking about going forward. My very big question is...NOW they're going to do this. I smell something funny.

Saying any place with ebola they will have someone on the ground within days. Erm is that not what they WERE doing?! And why not just send all patients to one-four places?

I can't watch this BS. I'm out.

a reply to: ~Lucidity

Well, didn't they do this last week? They announced further precautions at the airport on the morning they had already suspected the nurse was ill but only told us on Sunday at like 5 am, when no one was watching. Is that what's happening again? Announcing strengthened procedures before the release of further infection concerns?
