Or COVID PTSD
Normally, I like David Pakman but this video really kind of pissed me off. It took less than a minute to get a few details and Reddit posts are not, in my mind anyway, considered as “credible” news source.
The fact is, a passenger from the DRC boarded a flight; no symptoms of Ebola, just a person travelling from DNR to the U.S. (Why anyone is travelling to the U.S. boggles my mind but whatever…). The U.S. has restricted travel from the DNR and Uganda due to a large outbreak of a strain of the Ebola virus. Anyone travelling from those countries must debark in Washington, unfortunately somebody messed up or the reservation was made prior to the outbreak and this passenger was destined to land in Detroit. No spewing germs all over the cabin, no writhing on the floor with fluids leaving his/her body, just an incorrect destination point.
CALM, THE FREAK, DOWN, people. Ebola is nothing new in the DNR or Uganda..I think Kenya has had a couple of outbreaks as well. The world is full of viruses, we travel and yeah, that does make the transmission of illness far easier for those little germs. The actual risk? Sure, its there but use common sense, soap and water; I take it a bit further and I do not travel on cruise ships. Floating Petri dishes IMO.
I would be concerned if traveling and spending extended periods of time in Central Africa, you may want to take precautions but if you’re sitting in your living room, in Canada or the U.S. I’m pretty sure you’re good…
