Religion is a bit of a weird one. Taken to extremes religious belief can be used to supersede any laws and justify anything.
Is this not a country made of laws or those of ? I thought the point (after years of upheaval) was to have a government of men (flawed as tat may be) rather than one governed BY religion. A theocratic state if you will.
There are many people with compromised immune systems and the vast majority do not need to live in sterile environments. Their immune system just does not work as well as it should or is overly sensitive. In both cases this has no real effect on virulent diseases as such. However it often means that they can not be vaccinated for those diseases.
This may give you some idea of how dangerous measles is. Admittedly in the west when the numbers of affected are low, so good treatment can be provided to those afflicted, the survival rate is pretty good. (not counting the survived but were harmed rate) http://www.who.int/mediacentre...
Measles is one of the leading causes of death among young children even though a safe and cost-effective vaccine is available. In 2013, there were 145 700 measles deaths globally – about 400 deaths every day or 16 deaths every hour. Measles vaccination resulted in a 75% drop in measles deaths between 2000 and 2013 worldwide. In 2013, about 84% of the world's children received one dose of measles vaccine by their first birthday through routine health services – up from 73% in 2000. During 2000-2013, measles vaccination prevented an estimated 15.6 million deaths making measles vaccine one of the best buys in public health.
It is not simple but it is well tested. move away from the space station. Do the hokey cokey dance stuff to wibble around. Wait a long time. Do a hard burn for deorbit. Pop the top off. Rotate so you are the correct way up and pretty much hang on to your hat cos you have little control from that point on. Land. Point gun at bears while waiting for helicopters (if they can find you and you did not sink in a lake)
They do know how to make the russian engines...sort of. They have the plans and even licenses to do so. It was cheaper to buy them from Russia and it would only take a couple of years (5 to 10) to manufacture them in the US.
Why buy the rights to manufacture if you have no intention of doing so? That is above your pay grade.
The Carnegie study gets their info from the World bank whose statistics show the opposite. I think the difference is how they define passenger vehicles. The Carnegie study and world bank both exclude motorbikes. The WB includes pickups while the CS excludes them. Pickups for personal transport are almost non existent in europe. Judging by slashdot replies on any subject involving cars there are many in the us who own a truck that they do not require for their job.
That could account for the difference between being ranked 2nd and 24th for passenger cars. Busses and (anything carrying over 9 people) are excluded and it and would would not matter much if they were included as in the US there are less then 800,000 busses.
A ford windstar at an average 22 mpg highway doing the 380 miles from LA to SF at todays average cali fuel costs of $3.71 would cost you $65 in gas. And the average for that vehicle from users is about 17mpg.
As per the previous slashdot post about the huge amount of paper needed on aircraft and how replacing it with an ipad caused problems. Very little of that huge stack of paper and how to handle the paper is related to pre/post flight check lists. The majority is exceptions If there is a problem then the pilots are expected to dig through that to find a remediation (if they do not already know) .
In safety critical systems software tends to be designed to shut down if anything unexpected is encountered. It follows from the concept of "do no harm".
In some situations that is obviously not the best of ideas. There is nothing to say that the plane can not continue flying. Even if it requires shuting down the flight computers and deploying the RAT.

No but they did a mediocre job of stopping Ebola in the US. Good enough.

And some bacterial diseases will never ever go away such as tetanus (lockjaw). So no matter what happens some vaccinations are here to stay.

Ask him how many peoples recycled/processed water entered the Colorado river before it even entered Cali.
There is a reason Chicago placed its water intake "cribs" miles offshore in lake Michigan.
