Quarantine Texas Liberians.

Is "Texas" the correct adjectival form?

If I learned anything from the Outbreak movie it is that we're screwed by the long incubation time. I say screw the quarantine and fire bomb Texas.

Works for me.  Texan Liberians, Texo-Liberians, Liberian Texans, or Libero-Texans would seem too goofy.

Oops I need to add a barrel of tar* though.


* incidentally I've no idea where I could go with that to make a joke out of it.

Does this mean we can blame Fate for America's destruction?

QuoteCNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta asked Frieden Wednesday on "New Day" if the man should have been tested for Ebola on his first visit to the hospital, and if he should have been asked about his recent travel history.

"That's one of the things we'll be looking at," Frieden said. "But we're reiterating the message for every health worker in this country -- think about travel history. If someone's been in West Africa within 21 days and they've got a fever, immediately isolate them and get them tested for Ebola."

Gupta then asked Frieden to explain guidance the CDC has issued on that and again asked: "Should this person have been tested?"

"We weren't there so I can't tell you exactly what that person said..." Frieden responded.

Gupta interjected, "You're advising public health departments. Last time I was here (at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta) there was a call with many primary care doctors to educate them on this exact issue. That was a couple of months ago. Should this person have been tested?"

Frieden answered, "We know that in busy emergency departments all over the country, people may not ask travel histories. I don't know if that was done here. But we need to make sure that it is done going forward."

Gupta sounds tiresome in "transcript". Did he hope the CDC director would misspeak and answer the question if asked enough?

No shit.  Of course, if gupta were a good doctor, that's what he'd be doing, instead of being a shitty "medical correspondent."

Isn't there some sort of screening going on in Customs/Immigration?
