    Ebola now in the states

    I havent saw any threads on this yet and I'm sure most everyone has heard about the confirmed case in Dallas. Their has also been folks tested in Hawaii, Dc, and Utah. I haven't hesrd yet if they have been confirmed. There have been up to 100 folks in Dallas that sre being looked at that may have been exposed. At least 4 in quarrentine, under guard. And others being checked daily. Yet the CDC is touying thst We Have This Under Control.

    Personally I'm just waiting on a bunch of them to be confirmed. And to start seeing more cases in other areas.

    What is everyones thoughts and plans ready to go or already in place? For us, we are limiting where we are going, after this weekend to top off some supplies and finish cycling my fuel stores for the year, we will limit even further where we go for a period of time to come. I am also torn on making a few purchases online. There are a few things I want, but not sure i want to bring in stuff from around the country right now. Maybe make a purchase and leave the boxes in quarentine for a week or to without any handling.

    Any thoughts on last minute or must have goods, besides the normal b,b,b?

    Not isolating yet, but limiting exposure to anything public. We are 19 minutes from ground zero here, and only have to take a left and a left to get there. Parents are in town, so I've had son out of preschool most of the week. Picked up extra bottled water today, but we're set for at least a month and a half just on the fridge and freezers with our pantry.
    Common sense is so rare these days, it should be re-classified as a super power.

    It starts spreading much, and I will lock this place down. No one will come past my gate.

    We are watching closely. Now a reporter has been confirmed from NBC. My first question was, HOW? I think there're not telling us everything. Since we live in rural area, we are staying away from the big cities and off any commercial flights. Stocked up on n95s if needed and essentials if we need to stay indoors for awhile.

    If it hits a border state of wisconsin, I told the wife she's giving her boss a 2 weeks notice. If it hits the state, I'm moving my family to a more rural location.

    Dang boy! I thought you fell off the planet. Good thing you are in your current location rather than your previous one. Trying to get out of FL would be a bitch if you wanted to egress. Welcome back Willie!

    Oh, and as for us. I would rather we just sit and watch from the cheap seats and maneuver our pieces on the board as the situation dictates.

    The person they were watching in DC is neg and released. There is another person nearby in MD under observation still. The guy from NBC was over in one of those countries and will be flown into the same hospital in Nebraska on Monday that one of the other docs was treated at. There is a person under observation in GA awaiting results, one in Hawaii as well. There was one in NJ but also neg and released.
    The virus CAN be spread from all bodily fluids to include if an infected (symptomatic) person sneezes on you or if they have the virus on their hands and touch a surface and you touch it within 2-3 hours and you have a cut or put your hands in your mouth.
    I'm taking an online course from Penn State right now on Infectious Diseases and pretty much anyone wants to talk about in the forums is the Ebola outbreak.
    I apologize for nothing...
