KIRK SAYS BREAKDOWN IN EBOLA SCREENING PROCEDURES NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED
CHICAGO - U.S. Senator Mark Kirk issued the below statement today following reports of possible cases of the Ebola virus on United States soil:
“Americans need confidence that our hospitals are prepared to treat and prevent the spread of Ebola on United States soil. It is obvious that the screening procedures by foreign governments are inadequate, and the breakdowns need to be immediately addressed so that those traveling from Africa are not threatening additional lives.”
Another stroke?
ReplyDeleteKirk and Durbin both need to go.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, Kirk is not on the ballot.
Kirk and Durbin. What clods.
ReplyDeleteEbola "patient zero" Thomas Eric Duncan flew right into the United States and walked through the international airports of both Washington D.C. and Dallas-Fort Worth. He was never asked about his country of origin and was never screened for any health conditions.
ReplyDeleteWhy are people whose flights originate in Liberia and Sierra Leone still allowed to openly travel to large U.S. cities? Shouldn't we use the immigration and customs infrastructure already in place at international airports to reject travelers from countries where Ebola is spreading out of control?
Strangely, the United States has far more stringent requirements for cats and dogs entering the country than it does for humans. Dogs and cats must enter the country with extensive health records, but international air travelers can apparently just fly right in even if they're infected with Ebola.
heard from a good source that this is worse or will be then the Spanish Flu that went world wide after ww1,be prepared......
