Where was the quarantine facility when he was outside walking up to the hospital? Anyone off the the street could have walked right up to him.
The link says it IS airborne. How did it get from the monkey to the pig that were in their own cages and never came in contact with each other?

Hello; I gather there is some nit picking going on about the particular definitions of the terms aerosol and airborne. I believe aerosol may be something like a sneeze or misting effect. This may be a case of a distinction without much of a difference in that the infection has occured without direct contact with body fluids.
 
Airborne is exactly that. Through the air without contact. If I pass someone on the street and they sneeze or cough, I can catch their cold/flu, because it's airbourne.

the flu is airborn because it can LIVE without a host , from my understanding ,,,aids is not airborn yet if somebody just spit into an open cut ...well you get it... but that is so far fetched.. it's not worth worrying about .. but people did in the 80's(think MAGIC JOHNSON, KARL MALONE thought he would catch aids by playing b- ball with him) ... this is another hollywood what if scenario...
 
HAHAHA... did you even watch the video? There was No guards... let alone armed. He was joined/helped by 1 person (most likely a medical personal)and it wasn't even the whole time. Also there was no fence, it looked to be that they just pulled up to the side of the Hospital.

yes I WATCHED THE VID.... guaranteed they were there... just not on that helicopter"close up" .. there is NO WAY the cdc would allow travel without guards...do you see guards at every presidential speech on the vids?...no??? guess what , the secret service is EVERYWHERE
 
CNN seems to have the only video of him walking into the hospital.

He's what I saw. He was in contact with the helper at all times, however at one point the camera zooms off and there are 2 people standing around watching with zero protection(just street clothes). Also there was a third person in suit standing about 10 feet(they did nothing) and a police officer in front of the ambulance(not protected).

AGREED .. TO A POINT...but let's let people that ACTUALLY KNOW worry about this stuff .. and stop spreading wildly uninformed hysteria based on the fear of "what if" ..... that's how WW2 Japanese internment camps got started...seriously..this kind of thinking ends up in a national debate between experts and idiot politicos ,based on winning the next election

Hello; What purpose is served by having guards that are not visible? I would think the guards should be in plain sight to be a visual deterent. I am afraid the concept hidden guards seems odd. Again is this thing about unseen guards being present something you actually know to be true or speculation. I would like for there to be many guards present and for no unauthorized people allowed within a mile. Are these things true and how do you know?
 
The agreement to bring Dr. Kent Brantly to the facility was between Emory University Hospital and Shepard's Purse. They are both non-government organizations (NGOs), which means that the arguments for or against the use of military medical facilities (ie, government facilities) are moot.

I still support the decision to do this.

With your background, what would you do in Dr. Kent shoes? would you want to come "home" or request a different option? Say your friends and family are brought to you no matter where so family support isn't tied into your decision

who said they weren't visible? JUST NOT on the tv account ... and why aren't they visible easily at a presidential function? so the bad guys don't have prior intelligence ... the homeland security dept .. the fbi .. they don't operate on the assumption they owe you an explanation about how they operate , but one thing that is for sure there was plenty of security.. do you really think that national security wasn't considered in the transportation? really? that is the fantasy...once again...give me one scenario where the cdc messed up on something like this that turned into a tragedy.. the reason you can't is ... the KNOW what they are doing ... yes there are risks but NEVER has there been a major outbreak based on a cdc screw up....everything else IS fantasy "hollywood" speculation....
