Flight Quarantined at Chicago Midway

Did they ever find out if its airborne?

The article I linked says it's transmitted through touch:

So far, 29 patients have contracted the illness more than once, which is believed to be spreading through touch. Alarmed, Vietnam's Ministry of Health has called on the World Health Organization (WHO), and the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) for assistance.

But I would assume this is some type of bacterial infection since it states that some people are contracting it more than once?

If monkey pox or small pox thats bad news.

Small pox was declared eradicated I think in the early 80's and all the known vaccines are under control of WHO they went around convincing all the governments around the world to give up their vaccines since it was declared eradicated. If you are in the military chances are you received a small pox vaccine.

Bad news is, if you are not in the military, the only one that can sign off on you to get a vaccine is the Federal Government.

Healthcare mandate and mark of the beast anyone?

Oh. My. Gawd.

The first thing I thought when I read your post was, I bet any country that has nuclear warfare capability also has "eradicated" disease samples for "medical research" purposes.

Dont you usually have to get a series of vaccinations when travelling to third world countries such as Africa?

I know this lady's intention wasnt on bringing anything back but I would hope that she at least followed protocol visiting Uganda.

it sounds like they wanted to quarantine the plane just for the sake being able to quarantine it
I hope it's more good willed and that there really is some sickness they would like to stop in it's tracks.

Yeah its not a good situation if it is small pox related.

Good thing the CDC and WHO are already on the scene. Go figure.

Man this thread has everything, it's got a quarantine, bacterial infection, Man with a red rash, Zombies and Chuck Norris.

What more could a ATS members ask for?

Yes. When traveling to any country that has indigenous diseases or ailments.

This is from the article you linked:

She called her mom, Sally Lansford, earlier Thursday from Detroit and told her that she personally had bedbugs, and that the ill boy she was trying to adopt had pustules. But her mom got “confused,” Sivers said, and believed Sivers was sick with postules, or pus-filled lesions.
The boy and the girl Sivers is trying to adopt are still in Uganda, but Lansford, believing Sivers to be potentially contagious, called her local hospital in La Porte, Ind., and asked for advice.

So if her mom is "confused", then why were the boy and girl left in Uganda?

Maybe the WHO or the CDC abducted her?

HEY My wife is from Uganda!!!!

Good thing this flight was quarantined though
because we do not need nothing getting
out to the world. If so they need to do this
then do it.

Oh that doesn't make me feel better...she was recently in Uganda..they were quarantined for only 2 hours...I am not reassured. Definitely not enough time to test her.

Remember..........this is how we got AIDS in the country, through air travel. I hope it's a false alarm.
