Ebola

So you are saying that since it has not crossed, yet, chances are that it won't. Good theory. Be vigilant I say.

[jonriv]

No. My theory is based on passed and present events, along with information( from the cdc) on the probability. That's a theory. What you have is fear mongerering. There is vigilance, airports are alerted, border patrol and all the hospitals in the country. All possible cases were isolated.

Hmmm, Albania does not border Africa

Everybody should know these three facts about Albania:

- It borders the Adriatic.

- Its land is mostly mountainous.

- Its chief export is chrome.

border patrol.

Cross that one off. The lack of border patrol is the main argument of this whole topic.

CDC has a pretty good track record- there are good federal govt dept (ie dept of defense)

As far as my health records- I am not under Obama care

It appears her "angle" is increased resources and aid to these countries in Africa to stop it before it gets here. So PDad your pushing for an increase in aid?

Jonriv...You also see where CHS (Hospital chain) lost 5 million records scammed by the Chinese?...If you or someone you know has been in a CHS hospital..in last 5 yrs...Chao Lin has your SSN etc...

As far as Africa...using the line from Tears of the Sun Movie with Bruce Willis...
