Ebola is Just a Plane Ride Away to the United States

Wake up America, just this week there is strong evidence of the government preparing for an Ebola outbreak. This level of preparedness falls in line with Todd Bensman, Texas-based Senior National Security Fellow for the Center for Immigration Studies, and his alarming report earlier this month. According to Bensman, “Unusually high numbers of non-Latino migrants, obviously not from Central America, are now reportedly passing from Colombia through Panama on their way to the US southern border. Their numbers range to the tens of thousands, whose vanguards we have already seen at the US Southwest Border in recent months: Cameroonians, Ghanaians, Congolese, Haitians, Cubans, and some from the Middle East.”

Senate Hearing on Confronting Ebola and a 21st Century Global Health Crisis

On July 24, 2019, the Senate Foreign Relations committee, led by Senator Lindsey Graham, held a hearing called, “Confronting Ebola: Addressing a 21st Century Global Health Crisis.” The senators met to talk about the Ebola virus and the dangerous situation currently happening in Congo, Africa that may affect the world. At the hearing, Mitch Wolfe, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Center of Disease Control and Prevention reinforced that “Disease knows no boundaries. A threat anywhere can be a threat everywhere.”

Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) questioned a number of witnesses on the impending threat to Americans. He emphasized that Ebola is just a plane ride away to the United States. Well the senator is right because Glass Door and Career Builder online job boards just posted a position for airport Ebola screeners.

Earlier this month, the Ebola-tracking site discovered an Ebola patient in Missouri. The “Hospital isolated the patient from other patients in the ER and called the Missouri Department of Health, and the Centers for Disease Control.” The patient’s Ebola symptoms included vomiting blood, fever, bleeding from eyes, mouth, and nose.

Ebola has already made it to America. Should more people infected with the Ebola virus board planes to the US, a deadly epidemic could ensue. The progression of the virus could spread rapidly under certain conditions. For example, if Ebola hits the homeless population, then Ebola could easily spread to rats and then fleas. As the virus transfers to pets, it then would migrate to the greater human populations.
