MissAmericanPie : Correct - it's actually hard to spread, as it does not spread from casual contact. It's mostly the medical professionals or family members treating Ebola-infected people that get it. Being on a plane or bus with an Ebola victim is very unlikely to make you catch it.
buffaloglenn : Well that's a relief. That is one nasty awful disease, like hantavirus that usually requires you coming in onto contact with rat feces, the harder to spread the better!
bigla : I think they do, but they want the experience to be safe for Everyone in Houston, and beyond. IAH has CDC people that are either there, or always available, at IAH, in the Customs and Immigration area. I am sure they will staff it constantly, in house, once this begins. They are doctors who specialize in this, and I am glad they will be there, to guide this process. Keep airline staff safe, too

NoBias : And it is spread through bodily fluids… saliva, diarrhea, vomit…. I am an international flight attendant and I have ways to help a sick passenger without exposing myself. Seems like IAH doesn't want to make FIFA welcome…
bigla : Prayers for your safety! I personally think we should not allow anyone into our country who could be infected.
Chow : ,,of toilet paper, right?...

LittleTexas : Thanks, Great information!
bigla : Prayers for your safety! I personally think we should not allow anyone into our country who could be infected.
TEXASGIRLMAMMA : 
Does it seem insane to have an Ebola screening facility at IAH? I guess I'm confused why we can't deny entry for anyone from Ebola-stricken countries. Especially as it is said to be spreading and there is no cure. Or is it just me?

Luv2eatsushi: I guess I didn't word that properly. I think it would be sane to prevent them from coming here. Of course, if they have to come here, screening them is the best thing to do. I guess my point is why do they have to come here? Is there a good reason? I don't think so personally.
