lol even ebola has a defense force on gaf, I've seen it all
Besides, the Reston strain isn't even really pathogenic to humans.

Are flights currently arriving from Africa to the states? This is getting kinda reckless. We're smarter than this. Aren't we?
Yeah I think it's a safe bet that your lack of knowledge and experience in medical fields grants you insight that is simply unavailable to specialists. Next can you suggest how NASA might design a spacecraft that travels faster than light? The only qualification you need is to have no qualifications.I was just trying to be helpful, no need to jump all over me. Besides, maybe my lack of medical knowledge frees me from entrenched industry prejudices regarding what is/isn't possible?
And then a cop comes out of nowhere and shot the dog.black pitbulls that are racist against whites.

The announcement that at least one of these Ebola sufferers will be flown to Atlanta didn't mention who made the decision. It seems not to have been a high federal official, because the jet being used is a private charter. And just hours before it took off from Georgia, Tom Frieden, the CDC director, was talking with journalists and gave no hint of the impending action. To the contrary, Frieden stated that such an intervention might be unwise. There is the potential that the actual movement of the patient could do more harm than the benefit from more advanced supportive care outside of the country, he said. At the same time, he said the CDC would work with Samaritans Purse to facilitate whatever option they wish to pursue.
Transporting a victim to the U.S. violates the core containment principle that medical authorities and now militaries are enforcing on west African citizens: quarantine. It brings a contagious Ebola victim to a city of 6 million on a continent never before exposed to the virus. These are weighty considerations Americans should expect their government officials to make. Id expect the head of the CDC, perhaps the president himself, to be the one to give the go-ahead on a military-facilitated operation, and only after extensive deliberations and consultation of community leaders. Is it instead the case that the CDC went along with whatever option Samaritans Purse wished to pursue?
I live just a few miles from Emory and the CDC. No worries here.
Article sounds like a lot of BS meant to sound authoritative.
This is not the first time an American with a scary killer virus have been evacuated back to this country, so I don't know what "core principal" or whatever the writer states is being violated.
Yeah. I practically live next door (neighborhood within walking distance to Emory) and I have zero worries.
these threads always make gaf as a whole look pants on head stupid
Yes but for Ebola there is no cure. Flu is airborne but you can be cured by it with antibiotics. At this moment it's the biggest outbreak since the 70's. But i will post this because in the other thread it was explained why this is happening.

So yeah there is a big concern. It doesn't have a chance in US or EU. Still it's terrfying how a virus like that can kill you in matter of time.
Obama Signs Executive Order to Detain Americans With Respiratory Illnesses

But I guess the objective is to "buy" converts with food, medical care, and trinkets.
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 361(b) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 264(b)), it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Based upon the recommendation of the Secretary of Health and Human Services (the "Secretary"), in consultation with the Surgeon General, and for the purpose of specifying certain communicable diseases for regulations providing for the apprehension, detention, or conditional release of individuals to prevent the introduction, transmission, or spread of suspected communicable diseases, the following communicable diseases are hereby specified pursuant to section 361(b) of the Public Health Service Act:
(a) Cholera; Diphtheria; infectious Tuberculosis; Plague; Smallpox; Yellow Fever; and Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers (Lassa, Marburg, Ebola, Crimean-Congo, South American, and others not yet isolated or named).
(b) Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), which is a disease associated with fever and signs and symptoms of pneumonia or other respiratory illness, is transmitted from person to person predominantly by the aerosolized or droplet route, and, if spread in the population, would have severe public health consequences.
Sec. 2. The Secretary, in the Secretary's discretion, shall determine whether a particular condition constitutes a communicable disease of the type specified in section 1 of this order.
Sec. 3. The functions of the President under sections 362 and 364(a) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 265 and 267(a)) are assigned to the Secretary.
Sec. 4. This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit enforceable at law or equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, entities, officers, employees or agents, or any other person.
Sec. 5. Executive Order 12452 of December 22, 1983, is hereby revoked.

(b) Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), which is a disease associated with fever and signs and symptoms of pneumonia or other respiratory illness, is transmitted from person to person predominantly by the aerosolized or droplet route, and, if spread in the population, would have severe public health consequences.
(b) Severe acute respiratory syndromes, which are diseases that are associated with fever and signs and symptoms of pneumonia or other respiratory illness, are capable of being transmitted from person to person, and that either are causing, or have the potential to cause, a pandemic, or, upon infection, are highly likely to cause mortality or serious morbidity if not properly controlled. This subsection does not apply to influenza.
Turns out my sister may actually get to deal with these two. She apparently works in some research area at Emory.
I think we should all watch Outbreak
Well the revision is not only SARS. The first refers to the disease specifically. The revision makes it more general and the overall wording is more general - not referring only to that singular disease.Note that Ebola is listed in subsection (a). The conspiracy article even acknowledges that. Subsection (b) separately lists and defines SARS. The order you linked simply refines the definition of SARS from:
to:
It still only refers to SARS and has nothing to do with Ebola, and why would it? Ebola is already covered in subsection (a)

Morbid perhaps, but is it possible the US military merely wants an updated sample of the virus from these two victims? I can't see any other logical reason to fly them onto US soil. There's nothing Emory can do for them.

the order is real, the story is not. Here is the original order:

Here are a couple of links that were posted in another Ebola thread that are worth reading:

Obama Cloward-Piven healthcare policy: destabilize health insurance with Obamacare, import more HIV-positives, import someone w/Ebola.
The expansion is related to MERS, or Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, which we were worried about in the Spring and early Summer due to the Hajj in October.
You know, the outbreak that will actually kill you while you are worrying about Ebola.
Who said I was worrying about Ebola? I understand the difficulty in transmission of the disease versus other infections.
I'll start worrying once another person gets infected with it in US.
By the way, what is the survival rate for someone infected with Ebola?
