(CNSNews.com) - On Saturday--one day after a bus that had departed from the Pentagon was quarantined on Capitol Hill in an Ebola false alarm--President Barack Obama issued a video message to Americans telling them that "you cannot get it [Ebola] from just riding on a plane or a bus."
“Ebola is actually a difficult disease to catch. It's not transmitted through the air like the flu," Obama said in his weekly video message. "You cannot get it from just riding on a plane or a bus."
But on Friday, a bus was quarantined on Virginia Avenue, SE, in the Capitol Hill area of Washington, D.C.--in what turned out to be an Ebola false alarm.
"You cannot get it from just riding on a plane or a bus."
So saith The Dud, so the science is settled.
But then, why did they bother?: Frontier Airlines notifies 800 passengers they were on the plane that carried Amber Vinson as Ohio health officials monitor 16 people who had contact with her., Health Officials Focus on Nine Fliers From Texas Nurse’s Flight, Airline Says, Plane that carried Ebola patient is cleaned 3 times
What a colossal waste of time and money. Just ask Bambi. He'll tell ya.
The two basic truths of Life: There is a God. He isn't me.

Tell that to the kids who caught it riding on a plane with that nurse!
I used to think we have idiots running our government. Now I'm not so sure.
No one (and I do mean not even Bambi) can be this stupid. I know I sound like I need a tin-foil hat but I am beginning to suspect Bambi wants as many Americans to die as is feasibly possible. That or create such hysteria that he can enforce martial law.
Case in point: I just flew back from Europe last week. Upon arriving in U.S. Customs in Atlanta......I was faced with a huge sign that gave me all the symptoms of Ebola that I should be watching for. If I develop any of these symptoms within the next 3 weeks, I should immediately see a Doctor. Duh. Upon reaching the Customs agent I was asked what countries I had visited. Were any of these countries in W Africa? I said no. Whereupon the customs agent stamped a paper and waived me through. That was it. Do they honestly believe ANYONE asked that question is going to tell them the truth????? I mean seriously? This is all that's being done to safeguard this country???? I was ticked to say the least.
Thank goodness now I feel safer-After going to the mailbox last week my neighbor sneezed on me and after reading about Ebola I took precautions and grabbed a case of cheese crackers and some potato chips and set out to sea on my boat for a 21 day Quarantine but I ran out of food so I had to be irresponsible and come back.
