Dallas Ebola patient flew on United, but the airline said that there is zero risk of infection. Well, perhaps, this time. But, what about next time?

I love zero risk! The people who say zero risk about stuff intrigue me. Titanic was unsinkable.

These airlines can't see further than the tip of their nose. Losing a few dollars by cancelling all flights into and out of W. Africa is minor in comparison to what they'll lose as soon as the 1st person catches Ebola on a plane. Then nobody will want to fly!

When that happens they might just find themselves very short handed on flight crews as well.

I strongly feel that all airlines flying into and out of W. Africa should be boycotted until they stop this nonsense.

There are very few absolutes in this world... you can't say zero risk to this or just about anything else.

United Airlines scrambles to alert HUNDREDS of passengers who came in contract with Ebola patient as it is revealed he entered U.S. at Washington Dulles before flying to Dallas

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2776786/U-S-airlines-contact-government-Ebola-concerns.html

"U.S. officials had previously refused to provide details of his itinerary, claiming none of his fellow passengers were at risk because he was not showing symptoms at that time. "



why the US governments silence?


do YOU trust the guys ???


if YOU had been sitting next to this guy on that flight

would you want to be made aware of his infection with ebola ???



the government just cant get this right

they are more interested in avoiding panic

and controlling the news cycle

than in doing the right thing

keep that in mind EVERY TIME you hear ANYTHING from an "official" source


they have proven TIME AND TIME AGAIN

THEY CANNOT BE TRUSTED

So United is telling the public that everything is safe, but acting differently off camera.

That is exactly what I believe our CDC is doing as well.

Airlines knowingly flying passengers from the epidemic zone with no quarantine in place are willing accomplices to murder of any and all US or UK acquired cases resulting in death for their own profit.
