Discussion: Plane Quarantined At JFK Airport After 10 Passengers Fall Ill Aboard A Flight From Dubai

So the pasengers are being taken somewhere else for quarantine?

Okay, this story lost a zero somewhere along the line. Last time I saw it, it was a hundred passengers.

Hysteria?

Trump Pandemic?

Trump Airline making a comeback??

I saw this on The Strain. It didn’t end well.

There’s a developing set of Ebola cases in the Democratic Republic of Congo right now. Emirates is a popular airline for people to connect from that part of the world to the US. This actually could be quite worrisome.

Fun-Fact - The pilot and copilot on any given flight are not allowed to eat the same meal. Each must choose a different meal, in case one is poisoned or will make one ill.

this situation is e
ven more dangerous with trump in charge. hi instinct will be to close the borders when cdc rcommendation is to leave them as is so they can track the disease. only hope is for some political advice to listen to CDC AND THEN BLAME THEM. if he slams shut th boders and we have a massive outbreak there will be a huge political cost. better to listen to CDC AND THEN BLAME ANY DEATHS ON THE SOFT-on-the-BORDER DEMOCRATS. much sa
fer.

From CDC, looks like 100 claimed ill… looks like 11 taken to hospital.

I’m reminded of the Legionnaire’s Disease episode back in the day at the Bellevue Hotel here in Philly.
