  1. Going there is either brave or stupid.
    Napalm would burn everything infected immediately, including the infected people . Don't let it spread like COVID. Jeep it at ground zero .
    Clean up health safety issues. Sanitation, etc. healthier crops.

  2. The Dr's and nurses we have in the u.s. today are no longer like they were when i was growing up. I am 77. Dr's are not as good as they used to be. That has been my experience anyway.

  3. The infected should be quarantined in the country where they became infected. Especially if they’re from a different country.
    If you’re infected in the Congo or in Uganda stay there and receive treatment there.
    Idk why you’d send infected individuals to Kenya or why anyone would be advocating to bring those infected individuals back to their uninfected countries.

  4. Brave US doctors and nurses heading over to help. ❤ I don’t get the people refusing to let them come back – we have the resources to fly them home safely (biocontainment plane) and treat them safely in this country in specialized ICUs. This is proven to work based on the last time we flew doctors with Ebola home for treatment in 2014.

    If they’re willing to go over there to make sure Ebola doesn’t come here, the least we can do is support them and help them if they come down sick. Would we say the same thing to troops who go fight terrorists overseas so we don’t have to fight them here at home – you have PTSD so don’t come home and be violent here?

  5. I think it’s a great idea. We don’t wanna fly people back into our country carrying their damn disease African damn Ebola no yeah you have the damn outright there. There’s no need to fly people in this country. Jerry and the damn disease treat him there. Why did they let it get so bad before they started doing a damn thing about it no thank you

  6. This is only increasing the odds of the disease spreading. Remember how Covid spread. People traveling to infected areas and being allowed to leave without a forced quarantine. People felt sorry for the foreigners who had been trapped there and allowed them to return home. Then it exploded worldwide.

  7. In a nutshell:
    US Americans, please die abroad !
    That is the essence of establishing a quarantine site for people possibly infected by a virus with 30%-80% lethality in Kenya.

  8. The administration is not even ashamed to admit that they send US doctors to the Ebola war zone but wants nothing to do with them when they get sick. Godless! The cruel face of pure capitalism. One for all but none for one. Trump gets out of any inconvenience like he got out of being a soldier.

  9. Don’t go. If you get there and get sick the African countries don’t want to allow us to build a facility to care for you. They would prefer we import the virus back into an uninfected country.

  10. They say it's only transmitted through bodily fluids or touch but not through simple breathing but the health officials are all wearing masks. 😷😷😷🦠🦠🦠

    NEWSFLASH: When people sneeze or cough, they are spreading their bodily fluid in the air in micro water droplets and a sneeze can fly across a room at 100mph. You don't need to be a math wizard or a scientist to figure out you're inhaling others' bodily fluids when they sneeze or cough in your direction.

    This rare Ebola virus was not being tested correctly in the beginning and many test results were negative until they tested the rare strain. When people started dropping like flies, the virus was already in circulation months prior—possibly going as far back as the beginning of this year in January 2026 because the incubation can last way into a hundred days.

    The rare strain of Ebola is already in the United States and Europe as many were traveling from Congo at the beginning of the year. Now imagine all those who were in Africa, near these cities now attending the FIFA World Cup. ⚽🦠🦠🦠 An entire month of millions of people being infected and later starting to show signs of Ebola. 😷😷😷

    You couldn't pay me a million dollars to attend the game even if I were escorted with bodyguards so no one is within 5' feet because it'll be in the air everyone is breathing while people are sneezing and coughing. 🤧😮‍💨🦠🦠🦠

    Watch the game on TV and pray this virus doesn't turn into the worst endemic disaster in human history. ✏️
