Subject: RE: BS: Anybody else watching Ebola break out?
They found the homeless guy in Dallas.

One guy who got all better is now back in hospital, but they say it's a diffeent flu so far, although I bet having just gotten over Ebola isn't very good for your upper respiratory system.

If he changed planes in Brussels he probably didn't go through Customs, plus, he didn't have it yet so they'd be fine even if he had sweated, profusely, on them. You aren't contagious till symptoms and he didn't show symptoms till he'd been Stateside for days.

Only another couple of weeks till we know if it spread anywhere.

The only people likely are the EMTs and the immediate family, who may have gotten into bed with him while he was sick. I wouldn't even worry about the guy who cleaned up the barf, or the fact that the barf was simply hosed off into the neighborhood street.

But what really frosted my buns this morning was the headline on the Sunday Washington Post first page - how "they" "failed" to stop the epidemic, now that there is ONE case in the US suddenly it is not contained? SOMETIMES I (delete a lot of stuff) mean really! The they in question being the international health people, btw.
