It makes a little sense.

1. They are more worried about panic and economic consequences than they are about containing the disease. You see this repeatedly when they claim the worst thing we can do is panic. We saw the same thing with SARS. Yet their failure to take aggressive action leads to panic, and somehow they can't see that.
2. They are more worried about being politically correct than they are about containing the disease. You see this in WHO statements about protecting people's dignity as a reason for not putting in travel protections. Yet their failure to take aggressive travel protections results in people not wanting to travel and travel stocks are now getting killed. Surprised it took this long really.
3. They are relying on old information. "Not airborne, hard to catch" is based on old weaker strains of ebola. The rate of spread in West Africa, and the number of health workers and ebola doctors that have caught it, demonstrates, this ebola is easy to catch and is somewhat airborne. That old information is getting people killed. Not sure if they are in denial or just spewing old information because they think it will head off a panic.
4. We are at risk because our country refuses to put in place travel entrance restrictions. It's contrary to the whole immigration/amnesty actions of the last 6 years as well as the failure to secure our borders by mulitple presidents. So it's not completely unexpected. Yet, it's likely to be their downfall, as voters are going to demand the borders be secured.

"#4 We are at risk because our country refuses to put in place travel entrance restrictions."

#3 It doesn't fit with the liberal agenda, therefore we have to bring in more bacteriological and viral illegal immigrant terrorists.
This is treason, and violation of "oath of office ".
There was a reason for Eliis Island as an immigrant reception center; prevent uncontrolled diseases from entering the country ; something _res__ent Obola forgot.
Disease prevention must be an " INCONVIENIENT TRUTH ".

#4 The only known controll of a pandemic is ISOLATION
THe U.S. Governemnt knowingly puts the American people at risk by failure to follow common sense , and the only known controll of an uncontrollable disease : QUARANTINE !
"The Most Intelligent Guy in the ROOM" is nothing more than Commie Crap ,double-talk and double-think, Bull $h*T !!
