Schools Across US Are Being Closed Or Abandoned Amid Ebola Fears
(NaturalNews) As predicted, fear about Ebola is quickly spreading as the virus fans across the nation. Two schools in Ohio were closed on Thursday after staff members reported possibly coming into contact with the second Dallas nurse who contracted it from Thomas Eric Duncan, and another school was disinfected just to be sure that the virus wasn’t lingering on surfaces.
Schools in both Ohio and Texas, in fact, canceled classes or shut down completely last week due to Ebola fears stemming from the travel of Amber Joy Vinson. The Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital nurse visited the Cleveland area to make wedding arrangements, only to develop Ebola symptoms before traveling back to Dallas.
Since that time, health officials have been tracking down her contacts, some of whom are teachers at Cleveland-area schools. Though Vinson reportedly did not spend much time out in public during her trip, several of her close friends and family did, potentially exposing others to the virus.
“She was not at football games. She was not at restaurants. She was not at pizza parlors,” insisted Gene Nixon, Summit County health commissioner, as quoted by USA Today. “She was very conscious of what she went through in Dallas.”
Seven people in Cleveland under voluntary quarantine after encountering Vinson
Vinson did go to one store, though, where she may have come into contact with five people. Each of these individuals is now under voluntary quarantine and daily monitoring for 21 days, the time frame during which 95 percent of Ebola victims begin to show symptoms.
Vinson’s own mother is also under quarantine, as she had previously traveled to Dallas to visit her daughter. A total of seven people, according to reports, are now under voluntary quarantine in Cleveland as officials attempt to trace the potential spread of the disease.

Now the public schools are closed.
Burn them down.
Got to kill that Ebola you know.
Then, issue parents a state voucher for each child’s education cost equal to what the state spends now to educate each child. And let the parents use the voucher to place the child in a private school.
Or, use the voucher to buy home school supplies, or to hire a tutor for their children.
