Annoy a conservative....Think for yourself
This is typical conservative behavior. They yell and scream about how much they don't need the federal government but when they fail to keep their own house in order and it hits the fan, there's the conservatives with their hands out begging the government for help.Remember the millions Texas needed from the federal gov't after the unregulated fertilizer plant explosion?.

I don't understand why the gov't has to bail out underinsured people at all, be it hurricane, tornado, or other disaster. That is what insurance is for, if you can't afford the insurance, then you can't afford whatever.

I agree. Some people insist on living in high risk areas for various reasons and I don't believe its the responsibility of taxpayers to pay for them living in a place for reasons like "it has a nice view". Some areas are almost certain to get hit every few years and the people choosing to live there should either buy insurance or move.

Not if your family member is part of a 21 day observation because they may have been exposed to ebola. Different scenario entirely!!!
She asked if she could fly and the CDC said sure. They screwed up!

The airline that unknowingly transported an Ebola-stricken nurse on a flight from Ohio to Texas has placed six crew members on paid leave out of “an abundance of caution," and said it was warned by health officials about “the possibility” that the passenger had symptoms during the flight.
Frontier Airlines CEO David Siegel said in a letter to employees that the airline was told by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Wednesday that nurse Amber Vinson “may have been symptomatic earlier than initially suspected; including the possibility of possessing symptoms while onboard the flight.” The airline says no symptoms were detected by the crew.
Vinson, a Texas nurse who treated Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan and later tested positive for the deadly disease, flew from Dallas to Cleveland on Oct. 8 - the day her patient, Thomas Eric Duncan, died. She flew back from Cleveland to Dallas on Frontier Flight 1143 on Monday while she had a mild fever. The CDC said it was asking the more than 130 passengers who were also on the flight to call a CDC hotline. Vinson is now being treated at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta.
Siegel said four flight attendants and two pilots involved in that flight were put on 21-day paid leave, that the jet was taken out of service as soon as the airline learned Wednesday a sick passenger may have been aboard, and that the jet cleaned and the seat covers and carpets near Vinson’s seat would be removed.
“We take today’s events seriously as your safety and that of our customers is always at the forefront of everything we do,” Siegel said in the letter. “This was over and above CDC guidance that stated that our flight crews were safe to fly.”
The plane, registration N220FR, continued to transport passengers on Tuesday, and made five flights to airports in Cleveland, Fort Lauderdale and Atlanta before the airline was notified of the sick passenger on Wednesday.

Annoy a conservative....Think for yourself
These easily stampeded right wing sheep, who are wetting themselves over a virus that has, to date, killed one person in this country, tend to be the same people who shrug off 30,000 gun deaths annually, as the price we pay for 'freedom'.
Dont forget about the over 50 thousand people who last year alone died from the flu, and yet these same people say NOTHING about that. A true epidemic.
Goes to show how these people are manipulated by one news source.
TOS.

So, you moniter 30 or 40 people because they might have been exposed.....then one of them flies on a plane with a fever.....now there's maybe 200 persons on that plane and that plane makes 2 or 3 trips that same day.....exposing hundreds more perhaps. I see the domino effect that this could become.
To be blasé about it is just stupid.
