The health care community is not panicking… they have a full born grade AAA lasting 4 hours or more hard as a rock boner over the idea of an Ebola outbreak. They a mainlining pandemic armageddon shows and Neil Diamond songs as we speak.


By "health care community" do you mean Democrats? We do have upcoming important elections you know.

Also, where is ratface McFauci these days? Someone should keep an eye on that guy.

He is Iran taking over the centrifuges to make airborne Ebola. At least that's my guess.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), body fluids that can spread Ebola include:
  • Blood
  • Vomit
  • Feces
  • Saliva
  • Sweat
  • Urine
  • Semen
  • Breast milk
  • Amniotic fluid
  • Vaginal fluid
The virus can also spread through contact with contaminated objects such as needles, medical equipment, bedding, or clothing exposed to infected fluids.
During past outbreaks, Ebola spread most often through close physical contact with and caregiving of symptomatic people. The National Academies publication The Ebola Epidemic in West Africa describes how transmission often occurred in households, healthcare settings, and during burial practices involving direct contact with the body fluids of someone who had died from Ebola.

I live in Bryan now, but I quit flying out of Houston years ago. I go through Dallas now. Plus, it's easy to hop the flight from college Station to Dallas before it.

And I grew up in Houston. But it isn't really because of this. It's because it's gotten to be such a ****ty airport.
I don’t get enough credit for the things I manage not to say.

One of the first safety lessons given to our incoming student nurses:
"If it is wet and not yours, don't touch it without protection"

If something is going to wipe out a good chunk of the world's population, it may as well be FIFA led. There is something poetic about the world's most corrupt organization playing a role in spreading one of the world's most dangerous diseases

So maybe we shouldn't allow Africans in for a moment. Maybe take a breath and see how this Ebola epidemic shakes out. Just a thought...

Side note...
I was shocked to learn that United had dropped their flights out of CS. I used to use that hop when I lived in CS. Even such a short hop to IAH, it was still faster and overall more time efficient to depart Easterwood than to drive to IAH, park, and get checked in and to the gate. I would wind up on the same flight out of Houston and leave the house later to get an earlier flight out of CS.

I realized it was gone when I was looking at possibly having to fly when the TSA lines were such disasters a few months ago.

I agree we shouldn't let any more Africans in but ebola has nothing to do with it.

United ended service out of Easterwood 4-5 years ago.

Is there some history I'm missing of there being massive outbreaks after the WC or Olympics occur in the host country?!?




No. And nobody is scared ****less. This is just TexAgs echo chamber.

This is a current flight map of the US. The World Cup is but a pimple on a nats ass of global movement. Doesn't even register.



TexAgs echo chamber? People here don't seem to be scarred.

I remember in the 80s and 90s, there was a sign posted near the security lines at IAH, that said, "The following cities are unsafe for travel:"

And the list…….Lagos, Nigeria. That's it. Haha, the only unsafe place in the world according to that sign, for a couple of decades.

It would list all United hub cities at this point and that would be bad for business.

Nobody is scared. And the healthcare industry in New York is certainly not terrified.
