Remember, Ebola
- Twelve people in Illinois are being monitored for potential Ebola exposure, officials said Monday as they called for additional steps to prepare for any possible outbreak — which included a proposal for a fund for health care workers exposed to the virus.
The people who are being monitored have not been quarantined and are considered at low risk or some risk of exposure to the deadly virus, the director of the Illinois Department of Public Health, Dr. LaMar Hasbrouck, told state lawmakers at a legislative committee hearing Monday in Chicago, according to a department spokeswoman.
The 12 people were advised to monitor and report daily to health officials their temperature readings and the emergence of any symptoms.
No cases of Ebola have been reported in Illinois, and the chances of it occurring here are low, health officials said. But they warned that more measures should be taken to provide for testing and care of any patients.
You know what would reduce the chances even more? A travel ban. It would probably even reduce the number of "monitored" individuals, thereby saving precious dollars to find/develop a cure.

"Dems Think You're Idiots"
Are you pissed yet America?
You damn well should be!
Viva Hate.
Barack promised me that Ebola would not come here. So why should I worry?
If the outbreak was in Norway and Ireland Obama would have stopped all travel from those countries. Barack doesn't want to hurt the feelings of Africans infected and wanting to bring their deadly disease to the US.
There is no low risk with ebola. High mortality rate.
Travel ban = 100% yes.
But if they're not going to do that, then 100% quarantine for the incubation period for all coming from those shithole hot zones
A travel ban wouldn't be politically correct and would hurt some people's feelings.

Don't worry about ebola, the president has a new ebola czar and the CDC covering you. You have nothing to worry about. Leave ebola to the government experts.
I've got a sister named Ebola May.
Let's see, you can't go to Cuba for cigars but you can go to Africa for Ebola! Is that the democratic way?
speaking of Ebola. The family of "patient zero" the guy in Texas who lied to get here, lied to hospital staff, and who ultimately died - but not before infecting 2 nurses, has reached a "$$resolution" with the hospital on behalf of his family. The grieving son and fiancé who he did not see in 18 years!! Unbelievable.
Travel ban? RACIST! How dare you stop travel from Africa just because of a deadly contagious disease!
Don't worry. Socialists are in charge and will make sure that any outbreak is well contained. It will be as good as Obamacare's debut.
BIG HIT ON GHETTO LOTTERY --
Financial settlement for family of Ebola victim Thomas Eric Duncan leaves out fiancée Louise Troh
Wednesday, November 12, 2014, 1:33 PM
"The fiancée of Thomas Eric Duncan, the only person to die from Ebola on U.S. soil, won’t receive a penny in a financial settlement announced Wednesday between the man’s family and a Dallas hospital.
"The settlement comes just more than one month after Duncan, a 42-year-old Liberian national, died in isolation at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, and prevents a potentially lengthy legal battle. An undisclosed amount of money will be split among Duncan’s four children, two of whom live in Africa, and his parents.
"The Texas Health Resources Foundation will also create a charitable fund to raise money for Ebola victims, while Duncan's family would like a movie or book made about his ordeal, attorney Les Weisbrod said Wednesday in announcing the “multifaceted” agreement."

Lie your way out of Liberia, lie your way into the US, lie your way into the hospital, legal systems of two countries after you, take up an entire 24-bed ICU with 50 people caring for you -- one of whom became infected herself -- and then kick the bucket at our vast terror, expense, and inconvenience.
...and no question of paying what must be the enormous bill. Instead, the hospital is paying out.
Book, movie, T-shirts to come soon.

Africa is a continent not a country. More Americans will die due to the flu than ebola before the year is over. Get educated.
And to think, I was planning to go to Liberia on my next furlough! Thank G_d for this blog!
Fear not! Didn't you see the Sun Times a few weeks ago where Rahm declared Chicago is completely prepared to handle Ebola?
Oh yeah and it is not airborne ! If you believe that then I have some land for sale! They are not telling us the whole truth! They should impose a travel ban and quarantine everyone exposed! A smart ass nurse!
If you like your ebola you can keep your ebola.
The socialists have all of this under control. There's nothing to worry about. They are the smartest people on the planet. Just ask them.

Yes, socialist moron. It is a continent. No mention was made to the contrary. Now try to dig up some of your old Marxist propaganda fall backs. Your attempt at misdirection has miserably failed.
My God. This is the perfect example of how fucking stupid and sinister you dickheads really are. And if you insist on playing out your last failed hand, let's just see how many die NEXT year if they don't follow basic science instead of socialist party political policy. Fucking asshole.

Read and comprehend the original post. Look at a map of the continent and locate the countries with an Ebola outbreak. If someone said there's an outbreak of Ebola in North America and the cases were only in the Yukon and Alaska,would flights from Mexico city be prohibited from flying to Brazil? You're an idiot. You geographically challenged moron!!p.s. Go fuck yourself!!
