A man on a flight from Nigeria to JFK Airport went into a
fit of vomiting Thursday and died before the aircraft landed. A quick and cursory examination of the body
was undertaken, after it was hastily pronounced he did not have Ebola. The unnamed passenger, age 63, had boarded an
Arik Air plane Wednesday night out of Lagos, Nigeria, which has had 19 Ebola
cases this year though no new cases in the past month.
COMMENTS:
Why does it take two or three days to make a diagnosis on a
living person and mere minutes, or an hour or two at most, to diagnose Ebola in
a dead man? With Obama and the CDC
involved, I think the way this was handled is highly suspect. Maybe the new Ebola Czar, with absolutely no
medical training whatsoever, can explain this to me?
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Now we have a nurse who treated Duncan in Dallas on a
cruise ship with 4,000 passengers? And
they want us to have confidence in what they are doing? (Marilou ~ Ruidoso, NM)
A. The President says not to worry about Ebola, so trust in
him and believe in him. He also has a
2001 Cadillac he’d like to sell you; it has only 43 miles on it and has only
been driven once, by a little old lady from Pasadena. Well, if you get Ebola, you can keep your
Ebola… period.
Q. If you can only get Ebola from direct contact with bodily
fluids, why has Frontier cleaned four times and pulled carpet and seat covers
from the plane that the nurse who treated Duncan flew on? (Flo ~ Kansas City, MO)
A. Practice makes perfect?
We are getting indications from many sources that vomit and other bodily
secretions could stay active in carpet and upholstery for hours, if not
days. We are also learning that the
Ebola virus has mutated, at least in monkeys, to the point where it can be
spread by sneezing, and there is likewise some indication that the spread of
the disease among humans in African nations could
be attributed to that mutation. That
having all been said, I would be willing to bet my sweet bippees that Obama
wouldn’t let someone with Ebola onto the White House grounds, let alone within
the same room as him unless, of course, they could run from the fence into the
side door and up the stairs.
Q. I can’t believe my ears; the owner of the Washington Redskins
watched a Redskins game with the President of the Navajo Nation? (Bret ~ Port Angeles, WA)
A. That is correct and it speaks volumes, doesn’t it? Did you know that this whole movement started
from a non-Native American who has been tossed off an Indian reservation? Must be a Senate Democrat.
