"If they're not lying, they are grossly incompetent," said Dr. Gil Mobley, a microbiologist and emergency trauma physician from Springfield, Mo. as he checked in and cleared Atlanta airport security wearing a mask, goggles, gloves, boots and a hooded white jumpsuit emblazoned on the back with the words, "CDC is lying!" As The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports, Mobley says the CDC is "sugar-coating" the risk of the virus spreading in the United States.

LOL!!!
Your remark is epic tagline material!!
Good for him. We should all go out and buy masks.
Then we're wide open to this. This is failure of the highest order and a violation of the oath of office. The thing is, even if they ask the right questions, will the information be acted upon or just ignored like what that triage nurse did?
I’m betting he’ll be arrested or detained shortly for “causing panic”.
Hussein must protect the buildup to his utopia at all costs. So what if we all get infected with ebola? As long as he gets in a few hundred rounds of golf and Moochie cashes in her American taxpayer-provided frequent flyer miles.
How long before this Doc gets Vince Foster’d?
I’m sure he’s in for a tax audit.
This doctor makes more sense than the CDC. That guy Frieden was so nervous at the presser the other day the first thing I thought of was “he’s lying”.
By next week they’ll be asking old white grandmas if they have been to Africa while letting Africans walk through- to avoid “profiling”
I’d be more worried if Ebola were in Mexico.
We wouldn’t have to worry about one or two infected people but thousands of infected of people coming over the border, and the damn government would ship them off to every state.
Lying and covering-up. That was my first reaction to the presser given by the head of the CDC.
Read this on a thread last night. "Bombali, the district that includes this city, went from one confirmed case on Aug. 15 to more than 190 this weekend, with dozens more suspected."
From Pigs to Monkeys, Ebola Goes Airborne Nov 21, 2012 | Jane Huston | Research & Policy –

When news broke that the Ebola virus had resurfaced in Uganda, investigators in Canada were making headlines of their own with research indicating the deadly virus may spread between species, through the air. The team, comprised of researchers from the National Centre for Foreign Animal Disease, the University of Manitoba, and the Public Health Agency of Canada, observed transmission of Ebola from pigs to monkeys.
They first inoculated a number of piglets with the Zaire strain of the Ebola virus. Ebola-Zaire is the deadliest strain, with mortality rates up to 90 percent. The piglets were then placed in a room with four cynomolgus macaques, a species of monkey commonly used in laboratories. The animals were separated by wire cages to prevent direct contact between the species. Within a few days, the inoculated piglets showed clinical signs of infection indicative of Ebola infection.
In pigs, Ebola generally causes respiratory illness and increased temperature. Nine days after infection, all piglets appeared to have recovered from the disease. Within eight days of exposure, two of the four monkeys showed signs of Ebola infection. Four days later, the remaining two monkeys were sick too. It is possible that the first two monkeys infected the other two, but transmission between non-human primates has never before been observed in a lab setting.
While the study provided evidence that transmission of Ebola between species is possible, researchers still cannot say for certain how that transmission actually occurred. There are three likely candidates for the route of transmission: airborne, droplet, or fomites.
Airborne and droplet transmission both technically travel through the air to infect others; the difference lies in the size of the infective particles. Smaller droplets persist in the air longer and are able to travel farther- these droplets are truly “airborne.” Larger droplets can neither travel as far nor persist for very long.
What do these findings mean? First and foremost, Ebola is not suddenly an airborne disease.
FWIW, that’s pretty low-level “full protective gear.”
Looks like a tyvek suit, which doesn’t protect against liquids. It’s definitely an N95 respirator, the very lowest level that qualifies as a respirator.
Anybody who’s serious about an actual exposure would be wearing a full-face respirator, not an N95 and goggles.
What the Atlanta paper DID NOT SAY was, “...Mobley said today that his protective gear was taken away in Atlanta after he boarded the Delta flight. He said he had taken off the protective gear — space suit coveralls, hood mask, goggles, gloves and boots with “CDC is Lying written on the back of the overalls — once he reached the gate.
“They gave me the option of confiscating my equipment or not flying,” Mobley said....”
My concerns are a) controls to keep the disease out of the US are non existent b) our immigration policy and border is porous and Zebola and vector borne hemorrhagic diseases can enter easily. c) The patient zero's possible contacts are not being strictly quarantined. Zebola is not a common cold and is a game changer in any society.
