When BSE hit one cattle farm in Canada the border was closed immediately too all beef products for the safety of all Americans. Why is there a different set of rules for people traveling from these places.

That's a profound statement Breadwinner.

Totally agree, Fortress NA, NO travel from Africa. If you go there it's a one way ticket till Ebola is beat. If there, keep safe till that time, sorry.

Any reports from other countries?
I haven't heard any reports on other countries but if it's in Texas what about other places?
Shoot shovel and shut up! ??? Maybe?
Get notification of travel deals in Mexico and there is some great buys out there.
Connection u think???

And the other side of the story is the disease will come to you; even though you attempt to stay thousands of miles away..

It's called fleeing..... or running from those who may well be trying to help....or being convinced that it is a hoax etc. etc. Thats all in human nature.

Which crisis is more serious? ISIS taking over large parts of Iraq and Syria, or Ebola? Which crisis will kill more humans? Which crisis will likely have a greater economic impact? What is the chances that Iraq will be free of war in 2-5 years? What is the chances that a ebola vacine will be developed in 2-5 years? Which crisis has more political upside for Steve Harper in 2015? Which crisis is receiving more funding from Canada?

Another fear mongering Ebola thread, this time with accusations of racism and that the west isn't spending enough money to combat the disease even though Canada has developed a vaccine and the U.S. has deployed 3000 troops and medical staff and established an air bridge to ferry in supplies and medical personnel. Quarantine the area and treat it in place. The OP needs to quit listening to Alex Jones.

More deny, deny, deny comments..There isn't 2-5 years to develop a vaccine you dumb clucks. There isn't any current vaccine; there isn't any treatment except maybe harvesting antibodies from "recovered" patients; but recovery mostly seems to depend on your immune system being in top notch shape.

This disease is a bad one; and it probably has reached critical mass. already.

Actually the vaccine just began accelerated human trials today, but you allready knew that didn't you. Doesn't jive with what Alex told you though does it?

[oneoff]

Well if the ebola virus vaccine doesn't work any better than the flu virus shots; I just don't see what real that provides.

In case you missed the fact ... death rates appear to range from 20 to 90% in the various ebola outbreaks so far.

I don't know what other people's agendasare; but we would be better served if your opinions were somewhat founded in reality.

It's a conspiracy. I'm loading more ammo. We'll be stockpiling Spam and de-hy soups. Water filtration units are in place. That Ebola vaccine will be the dawn of the Zombie Apocalypse.
