American Ebola patient flew a Frontier Airlines flight only two days ago

A Purdue Scientist today stated that Ebola can, in fact, be transmitted via airborne channels. I find it likely that these passengers will be fine, but there is a chance that all hell breaks loose.

Frontier Airlines Flight #1143, Cleveland, OH to Dallas, TX on 13 October 2014.
A little more information regarding this Ebola patient's travel day. As you will see below, the flight was delayed some 3 hours. She was likely at the airport in Cleveland for over 4 hours in close contact with other travelers. Then she got onto a plane with 122 other paying passengers (likely additional non-revenue passengers) on a plane that holds 138 folks. Frontier seats are 30 inches between rows, and 18 inches wide. Luckily, this provides for plenty of space between passengers............or possibly not.

I'm certain that Forkie, Chilly, and PJ wouldn't be worried had they sat next to our newest Ebola patient. After all, it wasn't until the next morning (twelve hours) later that she was found to have the disease.

Maybe you can organize an Ebola flight in lieu of the ghetto walk.

In the not too distant future, we'll all be lining up for our Ebola shot as Ebola season is upon us this time of year. Some folks will decry the vaccine and protest. Some will say Ebola was started in order to sell vaccine.


How did she get to Cleveland? Did she go to the Browns game?

Yep - you can read all about it at the site where all panic-attacked conspiracy theorists get their information....Breitbart.com.
Run for your lives - viruses can mutate

Of course, this same reasoning would mean immediate quarantine for everyone stricken with any kind of virus anywhere. Magic Johnson shouldn't fly because his HIV might mutate and become airborne. Pamela Anderson cant go into a movie theater because her Hep-C might mutate and become airborne. Andy Dick cant leave the house because his 20 different STD's might mutate and become airborne (well - actually I'd be cool with that one). Sound the alarm bells and call FOX News!

Whew, if so that was a close one. teechur and DonDiego were at the Bengals game in Cincinnati.

DonDiego has never been at a football game in which the crowd was so silent following the game. After Mr. Nugent, the Bengals kicker, missed the winning field goal in the last second of the game fans of both teams went quiet. Nobody went home happy.

"News that a health worker diagnosed with Ebola flew on a commercial flight the night before showing symptoms raised fears on Wall Street that the scare over the virus could reduce air travel.
Shares of the biggest U.S. airlines tumbled between 4 percent and 6 percent in afternoon trading."

Would I want to sit next to a human with Ebola...Nope
