Riding Mass Transit Is Like Inviting 20 Random Hitchhikers Into Your Car

Trust the experts: Dr. Tom Frieden, director for the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said during a telephone press briefing Wednesday that you cannot get Ebola by sitting next to someone on a bus, but that infected or exposed persons should not ride public transportation because they could transmit the disease to someone else.

  1. Perhaps Ebola can only be transmitted if you sit in front of or behind someone on a bus. Or perhaps Dr. Tom Frieden, director for the Center For Disease Control, is a less than trustworthy source of information. You decide.

  2. I remember back in the 1980s when we spent 10 years revising the list of what couldn’t cause AIDS.

  3. And anybody wanna take odds on how many urinalists called him out on the obvious stupity of that comment?

  4. And the Americans said that an outbreak could not happen there, because they are not a third world county, and they have it covered. Sure, they have ELEVEN capable beds in the entire country. Obama amateurs in control.

  5. This “expert” clown Frieden obviously contradicted himself.
    If you can’t get Ebola from sitting on a bus, then who cares if infected people ride?
    But if infected people can transmit it, then you can get it from your neighbour on the bus.
    He should be fired.

  6. Yeah, that’s right nv53. You got it. Now here is your cookie. Run upstairs like a good boy and let the grownups talk.
    ….sorry, couldn’t resist!

  7. I’ve been telling people for years that public transit is the most efficient disease vector devised in modern times.

  8. And this weird respiratory disease that is hitting children in the states, possibly brought in by illegal alien children and teenagers now spread out all over the U.S. in locations and schools that the U.S. government won’t disclose. Another reason why home schooling is about to get even more popular.

  9. glad that Doctor Tom Frieden ain’t the head neuro surgeon, cuz them kind of slip ups during surgery would turn any one into a lieberal

  10. if the good dr Tom Frieden is such an expert and so sure of his facts, put him in a hazmat suit and let him care for some people, and let nature take its course
