Dem Congressman calls for closing of border over swine flu

[hope4dopes]

none of this bothered you.......until now.

And how do you come to that conclusion einstien.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Unfortunately for your dumb "blame it on Obama" ass, the CDC said closing the borders would be pointless, as it has already escaped from the geographic place it originated from.

Once again, your war on science causes you to fail.

They have confirmed cases around the world, but other countries are locking things down.

War on science? I'm sorry, all I see is a bunch of name calling from another lib poster... oh I forgot, you are from the party of Al Gore's global warming

at ballijuana playing everyone. Are your sarcasm detectors ALL that broken?

[ChumpDumper]

They have confirmed cases around the world, but other countries are locking things down.

Which ones?

[Marcus Bryant]

Am I the only one who's not the least bit worried about this?

Damn, just wash your hands and stay away from sniffly, sneezy people. I do that anyway.

True. Practicing common hygiene will greatly reduce your potential exposure.

You are confusing political actions with actions that are supported by science.

The CDC says that "locking" things down is pointless, and base that on their models of how to handle the disease. It costs too much and is too disruptive to economic processes to make a case for it.

"locking things down" is simply a way for "concerned" polticians to show they are doing something, when the reality is that the horse is out of the barn.

You dumbass.

oh, I forgot you are from the party that doesn't believe in physics.

The only thing I'm concerned about is my daughter and her husband are in Cancun on their honeymoon - and I read an article this morning about a honeymoon couple from Scotland who contracted the Swine Flu while in Cancun last week!

People are dumb if they think they can isolate themselves from disease. All it takes is one person. What are you going to do, stop trading with everyone and hide behind walls? A container ship comes in and an infected dude hands it off to U.S. workers unloading things. A flight attendant gets infected serving random people on an international flight. A drug smuggler sells cocaine to some kid and they get infected.

All you can do is lock yourself in your house and not go outside. Washing your hands and wearing masks is no guarantee to anything, especially since soap doesn't kill any virus.
