In guidelines issued by the CDC, the health body also says airlines should separate infected passengers who display signs of the virus during flights from other flyers.
“People who have been exposed to Ebola virus disease should not travel on commercial airplanes until there is a period of monitoring for symptoms of illness lasting 21 days after exposure,” the CDC said. “Sick travelers should delay travel until cleared to travel by a doctor or public health authority. Airlines should consider using their own authority…to deny boarding of sick travelers if Ebola is suspected.”
Yeah, that damn bleeding from the eyes is a turn-off to other passengers. 🙄
Can’t wait until the Barney Fifes at TSA give us their take on Ebola security theater.
Wanna bring Ebola to the USA? You can’t fly it in, you have to walk it in across the boarder with all those other disease carriers! Ha!
Airliner = flying germ tube.
Wonder WHY the infected Americans just HAD to be returned here for their “continued treatment” and also WHY the UN/WHO hasn’t demanded total border closure for affected countries in Africa??? Have also wondered why it’s never been policy for international travelers to have to provide a 7 or 14 day blood test screening (obviously screening for potential pandemic carriers)before departing for other countries.
“…infected passengers who display signs of the virus…”
Gee, that’s gonna be EASY to detect….
*rolls eyes*
So if the ebola virus spreads here does that mean the gov is going to blame the airlines?
///NO SHIT, SHERLOCK, WAIT TILL SOMEONE GETS KICK OUT OF A PLANE WITH FLU SYMPTOMS,NOT EBOLA!!!
“Refund?”
“Sorry, this ticket is non-refundable. Better luck next time, pal.”
According to WHO:
2012 mortality due to Ebola: 18 (definitely under 50)
2012 mortality due to HIV: 1.6 million
up is down
black is white
wrong is right
Obola will change this policy as soon as he reads about it in the paper. Oboloa for everybody!
I’m not worried Obama is steering this ship!!!!!!!
