If you didn't hear, the e-Bola (pun) patient flew on Flight 1143. The Frontier jet was put into a hanger. Some say to "clean" the plane.
But, the CDC (a government agency) is asking the passengers to self report. You know, it isn't like the CDC has an actual plan after spending several billion dollars tax-payer dollars to prepare for our safety.
The CDC can't do much now since they realize the weekend is coming up. So please self report M-F excluding Federal Holidays between 9AM and 3:30PM. Instructions are not clear, are potential infected passengers to fly to Alanta Georga's CDC? Enough of my rant, here is one of the many articles:

Frontier Airlines is asking all 132 passengers who were on Flight 1143 from Cleveland to Dallas on Monday to contact the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta because a woman on the flight later tested positive for the Ebola virus. ( Full report here.)
The CDC and the Denver-based airline have issued a joint statement on the matter. Here is the complete text.

Years ago, I assisted, OK tried to educate, the CDC on a Access DB used for tracking health issues. Spent hours trying to explain basic table design. The concept of Normalization was so lost on them. The rest didn't go well.
From my very own personal experience and my opinion: If anyone beleives the CDC is ***able ... please just send me your credit card information now.
The Hollywood portrayal of the CDC is just a Hollywood dream. Yes, they do have some smart, even brilliant people there. They are enveloped in the massive government bureaucracy where the Peter Principle rules.

Opps, fell off my soap box, so it is anyone else time to take a turn.
 
I am flying my kid back from college from NYC to Denver for several upcoming breaks. I always pick the very last row, isle seat. It has the highest survival rate in an accident.
Since the outbreak, I realised that the odds are people who sneeze or cough do this in a forward direction when sitting on a jet. So, the very back seat may also be the favored seat for this outbreak.

Maybe I should post this, the airlines may respond by raising the price of that very back isle seat!
 
Let me ask a question: If you were one of those 132 people and you got a fever (any kind of a fever) would you not speak up for fear of your life. Since we are not shooting them if they come forth, it is in their interest to come forward and I could almost guarantee that they are watching themselves to the point of paranoia. There is no where to run if they are infected.
If they have children or grandchildren and other loved ones, they are going to run home and hug them not knowing if they have it the virus or NOT???????Hum,,,,, pretty bad parents. Everybody calm down.Please!

1. More than half the passengers come in through the back door, potentially touching or coughing on the back seat as they pass.

2. The air on a plane recirculates.

3. One of the toilets is usually at the back.
 
All good points: Actually, all passengers here come through the front door.
RE: More than half the passengers come in through the back door, potentially touching or coughing on the back seat as they pass.

One of the Frontier Airline passengers is on a Cruse Liner now.
Anyone see the series The Last Ship? About a deadly pandemic flu outbreak. A last US Navy ship finds a dead cruse liner and takes its fuel.
I think the film crew used the Queen Mary ported in Long Beach, California.
 
If this were a movie, at this point the screen would go dark and a caption would read:
28 days later...

I also already had to think about this... I don't hope we will have such an pandemic outbreak within the next 28 days... At least not here in Europe/USA
 
I would tell you this new ebola joke I heard...


but you won't get it.

:D
