Happy Thursday.
Silly season starts for Ebola reax in the United States:
Two schools in the Solon School District in suburban Cleveland are closed Thursday as a precaution because a staffer "traveled home from Dallas on Frontier Airlines Tuesday on a different flight, but perhaps the same aircraft," as Vinson, the school district said in a statement.
"Although we believe what the science community and public health officials are telling us about the low risk of possible transmission of the virus through indirect contact, we are nonetheless taking the unusual step of closing the dual school building for Thursday so that we can have the schools cleaned and disinfected," the statement said.
A different flight, perhaps the same aircraft. This staffer went home Tuesday night from the airport, then went to the school yesterday, where . . . what? They possibly brought something that had live virus that they had unknowingly picked up on the maybe-Ebola plane on Tuesday that now needs to be disinfected?
