Republican Controlled House fails to pass law to protect US against Ebola threat!
Make no mistake that Congress, and only Congress, has the power to “regulate commerce “with foreign Nations” [Article 1, Section 8, Clause 3].
From available information I have gathered it is only too clear that an infected person traveling to the United States in an airplane or ship can transmit and infect other passengers by sneezing or coughing or physically coming in contact with them.
SEE:Droplets from coughs and sneezes travel farther than you think
"It is common knowledge that when we cough or sneeze, we should cover our mouth and nose with a tissue to prevent germs from becoming airborne. Now, new research from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology suggests this instruction is more important than ever; they found that droplets from coughs or sneezes can travel up to 200 times farther than previously thought."
Also see: Can Ebola spread by coughing? By sneezing?
”Unlike respiratory illnesses like measles or chickenpox, which can be transmitted by virus particles that remain suspended in the air after an infected person coughs or sneezes, Ebola is transmitted by direct contact with body fluids of a person who has symptoms of Ebola disease. Although coughing and sneezing are not common symptoms of Ebola, if a symptomatic patient with Ebola coughs or sneezes on someone, and saliva or mucus come into contact with that person’s eyes, nose or mouth, these fluids may transmit the disease.”
So, the Ebola virus can be transmitted by an infected person coughing or sneezing while in transit to the United States in an airplane or ship. And it also seems quite clear that contaminated particulate matter from a cough or sneeze can travel a considerable distance through the air, much farther than originally thought, and if it lands on a non-infected person’s eyes, mouth, or is breathed in, that person may become infected.
It is also important to note that Some Ebola experts worry virus may spread more easily than assumed
Dr. C.J. Peters, who battled a 1989 outbreak of the virus among research monkeys housed in Virginia and who later led the CDC's most far-reaching study of Ebola's transmissibility in humans, said he would not rule out the possibility that it spreads through the air in tight quarters.
"We just don't have the data to exclude it," said Peters, who continues to research viral diseases at the University of Texas in Galveston.
Now, with all this information available which establishes people traveling to the United States who are carriers of the Ebola virus present a clear and present danger to America's population, why has the Republican controlled House failed to pass legislation which is designed to protect America’s population from foreign commerce? And, this same question applies to the Democrat controlled Senate!

When will the America People realize we have a Muslim terrorist enabler in the Whitehouse? Will the American People come to this conclusion when terrorist activities begin in our southern Border States or cities like New York City?
