To be fair, it's one of the busiest airports in the country.

not true

low isn't the same as no danger


considering the potential disaster if something did go wrong, i just didn't think we should take the risk

Plane crash,nature disaster ... anything at all and we could have an outbreak just like they do in Africa

Total arrogance that the doctors think they could control every possibility


glad it seems like nothing went wrong, although we won't know for sure for awhile

I don't give a single ****ing shit how difficult it is to catch

You don't invite a potential medical disaster into the country if you don't have to


doctors cared more about getting to play with their disease than they did the thousands of lives they put at risk

I'd say that's just a tad of an exaggeration, since we have slightly superior medical care and facilities here.

The entire point is that there was never any potential for disaster. You're still going on about some risk, but there was never any risk to begin with. That's what you're not understanding. It's not that the got away with something risky, it's that the risk was never there. There was no way this could have turned into an outbreak epidemic like it Africa simply because our country is not Africa. Even a plane crash or natural disaster would not have resulted in an outbreak. That's what the medical professionals tried to explain.

An American doctor working as a missionary in Liberia has tested positive for Ebola, says SIM (Serving In Mission), a Christian ministry organization based in North Carolina.

The doctor, who remains unidentified, was treating obstetrics patients at SIM’s ELWA hospital in Monrovia, but was not working directly with Ebola patients. According to SIM, it's unknown how he contracted the virus.

CHARLOTTE, North Carolina — A North Carolina-based charity says the missionary who was infected with Ebola while serving in Liberia is being flown to a Nebraska hospital for treatment.

A statement from SIM on Thursday says Dr. Rick Sacra is being flown to The Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha. He is expected to arrive on Friday and begin treatment in the hospital's Biocontainment Patient Care Unit.

SIM president Bruce Johnson says Sacra was receiving excellent care from staff at a care center in Liberia, but he says the Nebraska facility provides advanced monitoring equipment and a wider availability of treatment options.

Sacra, a doctor from the Boston area, opted to head to Liberia after hearing that two other missionaries were sick. He was infected by the virus that has killed about 1,900 people.

Are we all dead yet?

And it's Dallas. Step right up Dallas and claim your prize.

Damn it. I'm 4 hours away from Dallas.

Still don't quite understand how people are able to freely fly back and forth from Liberia to the United States...but whatever, who cares if we introduce Ebola to the US...

Sounds like he was just in the U.S to visit.

send him back....

Damn it. I'm 30 minutes away from Dallas

Ebola AND a 3-1 Cowboys team? Prayers sent.
