    Is this about transport distance, or an admission about the state of dismantling the CDC? :o

    I trust they will be cared for.

    You heard the man - you want to escape the reach of the US and get good, affordable national healthcare? Catch ebola.

    The administration has maintained that shorter flight times to Europe are the reason why Americans who get Ebola will be sent there for care.

    That seems… Plausible. But after the state department told Americans abroad in the middle East to “fend for yourself” when Trump started a war it’s questionable.

    Trump doesn’t get benefit of the doubt.

      Funny how they can work that out when it comes to their citizens who are ill needing fast treatment but POTUS and Hegseth are too stupid to work out that’s the same reason they have Ramstein in Germany as part of their NATO deployment.

      In what world is intercontinental flight faster than in-house? Even if you start in Atlanta right beside the CDC itself you’ve got to fly roughly the length of usa to reach the coast of Europe lol

        I think the premise is that Ebola cases are currently only in Africa, so if a US citizen catches it, that means they’re already across the Atlantic Ocean and, yes, Europe would be closer.

        The only American who has tested positive so far, a surgeon who had been working at a Congo hospital, was flown to Germany.

    They are afraid of getting infected? In “Measles Parties are Natural Immunisation” country? Or do they acknowledge that they are not up to par for serious medical issues?

    Why should Europe take them? The States has been an ar$e to Europe and esp Ukraine for a whilst.

    The Eu should tell them no.

      Do we want to deal with watching the US having an Ebola outbreak under this administration?

      Have a good think about what that will look like, I could imagine a world where it is unfairly in everyone’s best interest?

        Here’s hoping it kills off enough of the brainrotted stupid part of the population.

        Then again, thats the part that probably has superimmunity from wallowing in their own feces on a daily basis.

        Ukraine is being treated unfairly and the USA don’t seem to care about that…why should other countries keep giving and giving to an administration that lies, causes grief, and tells everyone else to go jump. It’s called give and take. Everyone else in the world is already suffering high prices due to Iran and they consider that acceptable….i could continue.

        I would like to be nicer about it but my patience is thin for abusers. And they will only turn round and bite you afterwards…likely wont even say thanks.

          Imagine for a moment they are quarantined in Europe and there is no break out. Virus contained.

          Now try to imagine that in the US. See you can’t!

          I am kidding, somewhat.

            Americans at large either did, or did not care enough to vote at all. Of course there are plenty of exceptions, like you, but the American people at large are certainly responsible for Trump.

            You have my sympathy for being locked in with those people.

            You think the bombed Iranian schoolgirls give a shit? It’s your country and your president. If you don’t like the way the nation is run, then change it.

            How? Not my problem, don’t care, as it’s not my country.

            Congrats, but your country, collectively, which you’re a part of, did. The continued “not my fault” attitude underscores the individualistic nature of Americans at large and should be a mirror for how things got so bad to begin with. Do better.

              Fucking you know what?

              Fuck you. Like seriously, eat shit you arrogant fuck.

              My supplier of pre-made homebrew estradoil just went down permanantly. I would not still be alive if I did not get on this medication. I am lucky to had the resources to obtain it.

              I’m even luckier I’ve had the resource, plans, and knowledge to have already started working on brewing myself, sourcing my own raws and supplies.

              Your opinion will matter to me when you’re compounding your own life saving meds out of lab peptides imported from China. No purity testing. Hell no blood testing, all because you’re scared shitless of eventually ending up in what will essentially be a rape camp. Maybe dying in a firefight while they try to drag you there if you’re lucky.

              Knowing not everyone has that access. Knowing some of us are already there. (Even before ICE’s concentration/death camps)

              Listening to people express sympathies but never willing to risk anything for it, even if backed by group action.

              We make up around 1% of the population, our ability to live is dependent on the rest of everyone else deciding not to kill us. That’s the collective I see myself a part of…

              It must be nice to be comfortable and not be blamed for your own oppression.

                My empathy. It’s silly you got downvoted in the first place, your comment made perfect sense.
                And the replies you got.
                It seems the Lemmyverse is already degrading.
