sending the ship back to Texas was paranoid hysteria. The person in question is just a few days short of 20 days with no symptons.

One issue has been the mixed messages, poor direction and lack of communication from the CDC. The media is whipping up the frenzy. Whats odd is, officials say its very hard to get Ebola unless you are in contact with bodily fluids, but then they are searching for 100 fellow plane passengers that were not even in contact with the nurse that flew from Dallas to Cleveland? Then the bozo head of the CDC says she should of never been allowed to travel, yet, there was no directive to the hospital treating the man from Liberia that died. So, its gonna take a few more weeks I think for the US Govt and other nations to get into lock step on the protocols and procedures for Ebola, as of right now, it looks like a person working on or near a infected Ebola patient can do as they please when they leave the hospital, whether that poses a risk or not who knows, it seems all the finger pointing is always after the fact.

this is common procedure, nothing bozo about it. read up before you make such remarks. the issue I see is the hospital in dallas really messed up at several levels.

No, the hospital in Dallas was not prepared due to not having a cohesive directive from the CDC, or any Govt agency.

And the CDC as well as other government organizations were slow to get behind this due to their funding being cut. I swear there is a concerted effort to kill off a portion of the population that is no longer needed as worker bees. Sometimes these things get away from the handlers and you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. Lyme disease which was developed on Plum Island off the coast of Connecticut is a perfect example. It makes me wonder how the two American doctors were cured in less than a week.

you watch FOX news way too much...stop it! Drs without borders have been treating ebola for several decades with very little PPE. The procedures for treating ebola have been on the CDC site for years. your stat4ement is just flat wrong.

If I were calling the shots in Belize, I'd send them packing to Texas the medical establishment of which is far better equipped to handle an Ebola outbreak.
there was no ebola outbreak on the ship.....holy carp people.

That is a terribly special kind of stupid. I suspect we will be seeing more of it in the years to come.

I have not watched Fox news, only read some stuff in WSJ/NYT and heard on NPR.

But, why in the world would Biden call Belize in the first place for permission, like they need this headache....good god.
