That isn't the scientific consensus. I thought you said Christians should embrace science? A more plausible explanation is that they have applied logic, and duly rejected the Bible as an authoritative source. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

By the same intermediate value theorem, a patients temperature has to pass through 98.6º F before it can reach 100. (Making the reasonable assumption her temperature has been 98.5º or lower at some point in life.) Should we also forbid her from flying if her temperature was 98.6º? Above the normal range still seems to be the best indication of fever. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

You keep ignoring the fact that she was not presenting symptoms and had no reason to believe she had been exposed. You act as though she was on her deathbed when she boarded the plane. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

What is so evil about requiring id to vote?

That's a common mistranslation. What he really said was that we must get laid. It's an easy mistake to make. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

No, Anvil. The key is that she was not presenting symptoms, and was therefore not contagious, exposed or not. Further, she had no reason to believe her protective gear did not protect her from exposure. Given that ebola isn't as easily transmittable as many people seem to think, forcing hospital workers into quarantine with judicial oversight seems overly paranoid. Math tutoring available.

Or, looked at another way, just above the mean normal temperature of 98.6º F. If she was out of the normal range, or she was presenting symptoms, you might have a point, Anvil. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

So, a normal body temperature isn't normal. Got it, Anvil. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

Wrong, Anvil. She had no reason to believe she had been exposed. By all accounts I've seen, she took the proper precautions when caring for her patient. She did not have a fever when she was cleared to fly; her temperature was in the normal range; she wasn't presenting symptoms. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

99.5 is high normal. Couple that with the recent history and the diagnosis of her colleague and it is hardly reasonable to presume all is normal. It's my understanding that ebola isn't contagious until symptoms are presented. And I don't recall seeing anything that suggested that she had reason to believe that her on the job safety precautions were ineffective. Hindsight is 20/20. Math tutoring available.

The temperature was 99.5, within the normal range. Does not matter. She should have stayed home. With the benefit of hindsight, sure. In the moment? Why should she have stayed home? She didn't appear to be presenting symptoms. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

I don't think your wariness is unfounded. One only needs to look at how often congresspersons who are, to be generous, ignorant about science find themselves assigned to the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology. But I think they really believe they're supporting the right positions, fairly representing their constituents. I have much less respect for the voters who awarded them with their votes. That's the downside to allowing the people to elect their government officials, I suppose. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

I'm less cynical. I think most politicians, even the ones with whom I disagree, honestly try to, and believe themselves to be, representing their constituents as best they can. In a representative democracy, the government cannot fail the people unless the people have already failed their government. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

The game is straight pool. It is rarely desirable to break more than a few balls away away from the rack at a time. Even on the break, every shot must be called, so it's better to not have the break. With the break, some players will break two balls away, send them straight to the rails with just enough speed that they rebound back into their original places in the rack. Math tutoring available.

Any actual examples, or just more of your baseless rambling? lead or end with an insult - do you know any other song than that? cap and trade plastic garbage bags light bulbs cell phones corporate subsidies Halliburten Solyndra etc etc etc ad nauseum Listen to any political speech nowadays? now maybe it's not increasing over time either, I might just be noticing more of it as time goes by now that's what I call baseless rambling - divert by picking on any or all of them - or skip that cycle and save about 4 pages of thread and I'll just declare you win now if you like. it's easy None of those are examples of anyone trying to "buy votes."

That's all well and good when there is a significant time lapse between the time one is exposed until they are contagious, such as with ebola. What happens when that time lapse is significantly reduced or nearly eliminated? Or when time of exposure is unknown (e.g., transmitted via common insect), and death follows within a day of the first symptom presenting itself? I understand and agree that there needs to be some judicial oversight of the quarantine process. But I think your suggestion works only with a subset of diseases that have the potential to result in deadly epidemics. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

Cut the budgets to the point that departments are ineffective, then complain about how the ineffectiveness is because it's a government organization.

Not every oil producing country is blowing through their reserves as quickly as we are. When the US runs out of oil, Americans aren't going to just stop using fossil fuels. With a response like that I'm really curious as to what you think I meant by that and what you assume my stance on the matter is... From my original reading of your post, I inferred that you thought we would run out of fossil fuels and the problem would take care of itself. Reading again suggests that may not have been your intended message. Apologies. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
