In a video address to the people of West African countries, President Barack Obama stated that, “You cannot get it through casual contact like sitting next to someone on a bus.”
However, the CDC begs to differm, issuing advice to travelers, stating “avoid public transportation.”
“First, Ebola is not spread through the air like the flu,” Obama said in the video released by the White House Thursday. “You cannot get it through casual contact like sitting next to someone one a bus. You cannot get it from another person until they start showing symptoms of the disease, like fever.”
Obama also said that “the most common way you can get Ebola is by touching the body fluids of someone who is sick or has died from it, like their sweat, saliva or blood, or through a contaminated item like a needle.”
The CDC, however, is advising aid workers and others who travel to countries currently experiencing Ebola outbreaks to “avoid public transportation” if they develop a fever or experience other Ebola-like symptoms while on their trip.
Listed among their online recommendations for travelers journeying to Liberia, Guinea, Nigeria or Sierra Leone, the CDC advises travelers who begin to exhibit possible Ebola symptoms and choose to visit a doctor to “Limit your contact with other people when you travel to the doctor; avoid public transportation.”
The CDC also told travelers with Ebola symptoms, “Do not travel anywhere except to the doctor’s office or hospital.”
“If you get symptoms of Ebola, it is important to stay apart from other people and call your doctor right away,” the website continues.
The CDC also explains a person may contract Ebola if he or she “spends a long amount of time within three feet (one meter) of a person who is sick with Ebola.”
Recommended precautions to avoid contracting Ebola “includes wearing a mask over your mouth and nose, waterproof gloves, a gown (to protect clothing), and eye protection (goggles or a face shield – corrective glasses are not enough).”
On another page detailing Ebola exposure risks and “Public Health Actions,” the CDC reports there is “some risk of exposure” from “other close contact with an [Ebola] patient in health care facilities or community settings.” For these patients, the CDC recommends “If air transport is clinically appropriate and indicated, air medical transport only (no commercial conveyances permitted).”
Obama is going to be the main star in a remake of the movie Clueless!
L I A R!
They all need to get on the same page of the script for this false flag hoax!
Her is a good liar because he believes what comes out of his mouth. He is a delusional, educated idiot!
Don’t listen to the liar.He does not know anything he is trying to start an epidemic so he can call for Martial Law You can catch it if they sneeze on you cough on you if you breath in the germs.Listen to the doctor not Obama the liar.
Mr. Jones, I find it hard to believe that the POTUS was given :inaccurate” information in regards to Ebola , especially when Ebola is not a new virus , its been studied for decades since at least the late 70’s , in the 90’s we were told that ebola may be mutating to be even more deadly…
Good job Boy Scouts! Good job
our president wants an epidemic to kill us all if it can! Muslims are exempt.
Or a train, or a plane. On a hill, as a pill. It’s a bad Dr. Suess thyme that the govt. keeps lying to us about. I bet King Obama won’t go to Dallas and shake hands with the staff at the hospital.
The issue is that , like most politicians , money is more important than the average American life…When a President is asked point blank , why is not a good idea to halt flights to and from infected areas and his response is….That would hurt the economy of such countries needlessly….really? …Again, that is placing not only money but another nations economy/ money above the safety of his own citizens….that is NOT a commander in chief…not in my definition anyway …My heart breaks for those suffering in Africa of this but guess what? My family and loved ones along with my fellow countrymen comes BEFORE anyone else , you can call that heartless if you like, I call it common sense for my survival and that of my loved ones…period.
