And the Vancouver airport customs had a sign that said "If you experience flu like symptoms and you have arrived from an African country, you may want to see a physician in regards to the Ebola outbreak"
Thanks YVR for your "hard work".. can't wait for my connecting flight out of here!
But I'm hearing some airports in America will be doing actual tests, probably taking temp and that's it.. as if the line ups weren't bad enough!
My rant for the evening

Tell me about it, 5 years now
Since i've been back I've still yet to see downtown here.. i'm assuming it's the same minus the fact that more condos are being built, right?
Will check it out tomorrow with some friends.. I might even hit Rideau centre and mourn the closing of the Tim Hortons

Flu is a bigger deal in the Western world, however Ebola has become a political football for the right, never heard so much shit about screening for Ebola. Not too expert, but I have done tests for antibodies virus related proteins and it takes a lab, expensive kit/material and about 2 days, not something you can screen for at a airport....Or they are just gonna ask " Do you have Ebola"? And the whole CDC low grade fever vs high grade fever is bullshit.. We know body temp can go from 98 to 103 in few heart beats. As for USA cases, time will tell if they slightly opened a pandora box or blown the whole thing.
Lucious?

Sounds familiar, Somaliways?
is op the dude that used to post about I has apples and orange,
