Authorities ignore Obama's message

Posted by orange blossom special on Mon Oct 20 20:06:29 2014

fiogf49gjkf0d
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.

Like?

That's a very simplistic view of a complex issue. Agreement and disagreement is more of an appropriate simplification, and in consideration depends highly on the issue and viewpoint communicated for editorial content. Their news reporting is straightforward and factual, they have all the RWers beat on that.
