TND Editor’s Note: Regardless of where one comes down on the issue of travel bans, it’s fair to say there really isn’t much coordination on any policy related to travel bans and quarantines. There have been many reports of people returning from West Africa receiving next to no scrutiny, and then on the other side of the spectrum we have examples like below, where research specialists on Ebola are quarantined.

Meanwhile, insurance companies are starting to exclude Ebola coverage. What? They didn’t get a big enough payoff from Obamacare requiring single men and women well past child bearing years to pay premiums covering maternity care?

Mike Adams over at Natural News nailed this story:
Defying its own quack advice that the agency has been propagandizing for months, the CDC has now released a document on Ebola that admits the virus can spread through aerosolized droplets. The document, quietly released on the CDC website, also admits Ebola can contaminate surfaces such as doorknobs, causing infections to be spread through indirect means.
No “false positive” for Dave.

Dumb headline question aside, it’s actually a good thing that the mainstream is starting to have an open debate about civil liberties.
