Infected Ebola patient being flown to Atlanta: Are health authorities risking a U.S. outbreak?
Quote:
(NaturalNews) A patient infected with Ebola is being flown into the United States to be held for medical examination and treatment at Emory University in Atlanta, reports The Guardian. (1) "Emory University Hospital in Atlanta is set to receive a patient infected with the deadly Ebola disease currently sweeping through swaths of west Africa," the paper reports. The patient is reportedly one of the American doctors who was recently infected with the disease.
This event will make the first time in history that a level-4 biohazard infectious agent is being transported by air into a large U.S. city while still multiplying inside a living patient. This startling revelation brings up all sorts of questions that range from the gullibly hopeful to the impossibly sinister. Here are some of the thoughts going through people's minds on this right now:

What is your opinion on this?
If they were sending this patient to the medical corridor in Buffalo would it be a non-issue?
Seeing our current Administration is very lax with securing the southern border what stops an infected person from coming over? We see religious fanatics teaching their children how to be suicide bombers against the western world. What would stop some of these fanatics from infecting themselves or their kids? They would come over the border with the rest of the 10000's of people illegally entering the USA? Think about this. The department of homeland security is busing or flying countless people here illegally all over the USA. Couple of Ebola infected people on each bus then what?
A topic for another thread. We pay quite a bit of taxes to have so many incompetent people working for our government. I think our defense budget is one of the highest in the world yet the people who work for us are not keeping people from illegally entering the USA. I'm pretty sure the current administration along with the last administration of Republicans haven't done much on the southern border but talk about it. Talk is cheap yet we pay top dollar.
