If he or she got here by plane, that means all parties on the plane were subject to Ebola. So, we have what ? 100 , 200 travelers spreading Ebola as we speak?

I suggest that the American strain should be named Ebama.

From what I understand bodily fluids have to be exchnged. It's contagious but not That contagious.

No. Ebola is only spread by direct contact with body fluids and has never been known to be spread by coughing or sneezing. Also when an infected person is not showing symptoms he is not contagious. At worst only those sitting next to him, flight attendants, and the cleaning crew are at risk for developing ebola, and again, they would have to have direct contact with his body fluids.

The new carrier must an illegal immigrant that snuck across the southern border with ties to either ISIS and/or al Qaeda and/or Iran. He probably had a dirty bomb with her. Eric Holder made it easier for him to cross by sending him a map showing where to cross. Issa has announced that he hold hearings on the matter.

From what I understand it is spread not by an exchange or direct contact of bodliy fluids but by an exposure to an infected persons bodily fluid. Medical workers are being infected in Arica in spite of those suits they are wearing and anyway why are they wearing face masks to filter the air if it is not spread that way? They are still being infected. Contact with fluid can occur from any number of ways including sneezing or touching a surface that an infected person has touched. The only thing readily apparent to me at this point is that they have no idea how to combat this disease and the main concern from the government is maintain calm and to preserve it's authority and power regardless of how little they know or what lies they think they have to tell us to do so. Look at the extent at that news conference they went through to tell us that there is zero chance of this spreading, saying it over and over again. I don't believe that at this point in time for one minute.

why? He did leave Liberia on 9/10 and arrived in USA on 9/20 - definitely not a direct flight.
