      Dallas has its third case this morning. This is the second one contracted inside the US. All in Dallas and all from the same exposure.

              We had FOUNDERS CLUB tickets to the Cowboys game for November 2nd. Had 4 tickets...our friends, whom we asked to go with us cancelled due to the Ebola in Dallas.

              Sure this is serious and I wont' get into the "politics" of why it was brought here to begin with but I do wonder...what is going on here? ;)

                I agree - I don't understand why those people needed to be brought to the USA - they meds could have been sent to them.

                  Yeah, it's pretty unnerving.

                    Why anyone would want to go to a Cowboys game in the first place though...unless they play the Giants or the Broncos...then it's all good.

                      OH yeah.. and the meds could have been brought to them for a hell of a lot less cost than a special quarantined plane, and all the other Mega expenses to bring them home.

                        The Cowboys dont' play in Dallas. They play in Arlington. That's really far away. The airport isn't in Dallas either.

                          A quarantined plane? Now that would have been a good idea. The only exposure was from a guy flying over on his own in a normal plane.

                            and apparently the medical professionals don't have the quarantine quite perfected yet...

                              To me, this is like the american family who was caught in Mexico last month after a storm rolled through and destroyed the city.
                              http://www.dailycamera.com/superior-news/ci_26548721/superior-family-stranded-mexico-after-hurricane-odile-hits

                              For some reason the family felt it was the US Gov'ts responsibility to get them out of that country - the American's who contract Ebola seem to be sorta in the same guise.

                                  Well, the owner is a Coyboys fan with seats two rows from Jerry Jones. Hard to say "no" when he offers them to us...especially when the last time I went, my STEELERS were playing! :)

                                  Here's my wife at the last game we went to with Jerry watching the game:

                                    You'd have to sit near Jones? No wonder the tickets were free. That is one of the most hated men in Dallas.

                                      I'm talking about the guys who were known to be infected while over there, and they were brought back to the US for treatment.

                                        Yeah, that's a bad idea too. At least they did not cause outbreaks.

                                            They could have just as easily "not cause outbreaks" while staying over there too. It would have been much less expensive to pack all of the equipment up and send it there, versus what did happen.

                                            Anyways - I should just drop it.
