I don't think so. We don't make that much off those flights. He doesn't want to cut off any of Africa. And he isn't worried about catching it.

I've got a rather simple solution for Obama, every non citizen entering from west Africa will fill out a form, get temp taken, then sign a form certifying the answers given as 100% accurate and acknowledging that should they fall I'll with Ebola they will be sent to a FEMA camp and given only fluids. No way do we allow foreigners to come in, contaminate our medical equipment, cost the tax payers hundreds of thousands of dollars. That is not being humane, that straight stupid. I bet the money made off those flights wouldn't pay for the care Zero received.

I still say a full ban on west Africans until this outbreak is the best route.

If we insist on continuing flights it should be a small number, once per month. All passengers quarantined a full month. Once again, we make it clear that we do not give out free hospital care to Ebola patients. Should they fall ill, they will be given only fluids for supportive care. Then, once recovered, returned to country of origin. I still think we could threaten penalties to countries who allow sick people over here. I doubt Dems would ever allow this. So, flights just need to be stopped.

Original Message White House finally orders extra Ebola screening at five airports – but only 150 people per day will be checked and Thomas Duncan STILL might have slipped through:

The federal government plans to begin taking the temperatures of travelers from West Africa arriving at five U.S. airports in order to screen them for Ebola, but the White House said Wednesday that federal agents will only screen about 150 passengers per day.

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said the five airports cover the destinations of 94 percent of the people who travel to the U.S. from the three heavily hit countries in West Africa – Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea.

It has been just ten days since a Liberian man was rushed to a Dallas, Texas hospital with the first case of Ebola diagnosed on U.S. soil. He was pronounced dead on Wednesday morning.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Thomas Frieden told reporters Wednesday that 'as long as Ebola continues to spread in Africa, we can't make the risk zero here.'

Today's CDC briefing

[link to www.youtube.com]

the following question was asked [at 29:25 in above video] at today's CDC briefing:

Q: "Duncan [now deceased texas patient zero] didn't have a fever when he came/when he was was questioned [screened] & he lied about his contacts, so would our screening process now be effective in catching him today? ... [snip]"

A: "so, it is true that the index patient when he left Africa didn't have a fever and we think he didn't have a fever when he arrived here. he became sick 4 days after arrival. uh, these additional questions may have identified him as a contact, interviewed by CBP (Customs & Border Protection), uh, after arrival in the US. uh, we're looking at every step that could be taken to increase the likelihood that if somebody arrives and develops Ebola they will be rapidly diagnosed & isolated... [snip]"

=== === ===

more than 150 travelers per day, from West Africa, will continue to be admitted into the USA, but the Obama administration has decided they'll only have their temperature checked & be given a "fact sheet" that essentially asks them to 'watch their health for the next 21 days' and to 'take their temperature every morning and evening, and watch for symptoms of Ebola...

Obama leading from behind, yet again... WTF!?!
