Posted by orange blossom special on Mon Oct 20 20:06:29 2014 President Barack Obama issued a video message to Americans telling them that "you cannot get it [Ebola] from just riding on a plane or a bus."“Ebola is actually a difficult disease to catch." [except to all the families that are dying of the disease of course, via their casual contact] But on Friday, a bus was quarantined on Virginia Avenue, SE, in the Capitol Hill area of Washington, D.C.--in what turned out to be an Ebola false alarm. The bus was carrying a group of Marines and family members from the Pentagon to a ceremony that was going to take place at the Marine Barracks on Capitol Hill. While it was in the Pentagon parking lot, according to news reports, a woman boarded it and went into the restroom. She then exited the bus, vomited and collapsed. According to a Defense Department spokesman, “the individual indicated that she had recently visited Africa.” The bus departed for the Marine Barracks, but the woman was brought to Inova Fairfax Hospital as a suspected Ebola victim. Meanwhile, the South Parking Lot of the Pentagon was closed down, and when the bus approached the Marine Barracks on Capitol Hill it was quarantined. ============== Three weeks earlier, Obama had issued a video message to residents of Ebola-stricken West African nations, saying that you “cannot get [Ebola] through casual contact, like sitting next to someone on a bus.” The video was widely circulated online, and posed on a number of U.S. embassy websites. [but] But CDC recommendations state that travelers in West Africa who begin to show possible symptoms, or people who have experienced a high risk of exposure, should avoid public transportation, including buses. ********* more lol's http://cnsnews.com/news/article/brittany-m-hughes/obama-repeats-you-can-t-get-ebola-bus-day-after-bus-quarantined-dc I wonder how that American spread such a hard to get disease through 5 countries. |
