Yup and there are others too. Like the student from Nigeria told he can't attend Navarro college in the U.S. he was accepted to even though the WHO says ebola isn't active there. The two teachers that were on this cruise with the lab tech and were told not to go to work. Another poor woman was made to stay in the airline bathroom the rest of the flight because she vomited. A principal that attended his brothers funeral in Zambia wasn't allowed back to work for a week. There is no ebola there. And many more. It is simply crazy. |

It's not idiocy, it's human nature. It's a scary thing to be faced with in your own country, your own town or even someone you know being in a place where it is. We have changing information, some people aren't getting accurate information and they come to conclusions you might not. Sometimes people in the know have to appease the masses on the side of being ridiculously cautious. It's human nature and that isn't going away, so we have to work with it, not against it.

If you are being kept from work for visiting a country where there is no Ebola just because it's on the same continent and they are sending you home for nowhere near as long as the incubation period, I'm going to have to go with 'idiocy' as well. |

Allowing our lives to be ruled by the lowest common denominator of ignorance and foolishness is idiocy in my book. How about we listen to the people who know what they're talking about instead of the people who don't?The culture of anti-intellectualism and treating education and belief in science as elitism by some in this country has far-reaching consequences. |

I can see why people are confused when the people who know what they're talking about, change what they're talking about. When the CDC says it's not transmitted through sweat and then 8 days later puts out a notice that it's transmitted through sweat, when the CDC guy says it's fine to wear gloves and a gown and then shows up in full hazmat gear, the people that know what they're are talking about, are adding to the confusion. |
