"It was designed to provide the first line of treatment for people affected by bio terrorism or extremely infectious naturally occurring diseases," the center's website says.

"The Ebola virus is very difficult to contract," says Phil Smith, MD medical director of the unit, on its website. "The risk it would pose to people outside the unit would be zero, and this is something that can be very safely treated without infecting health care workers."

Cuz it’s easier to spread it out from the center of the country?

"The Ebola virus is very difficult to contract," says Phil Smith, MD

Yet thousands of Africans are managin to do it and without the advantages of a degree in medicine...or propaganda.

The rest of the country is "downwind'
Nebraska is north centrally located to infect both coasts.

How long before the Leftists are complaining that "racist, white-hooded healthcare workers" are not providing equal treatment to all?

Looking at some doc purported to be from a few years back. They describe ebola as “one of the most contagious diseases known to man”.

Given the number of dead health workers in Africa, many of whom consistently did use gowns, masks, goggles etc. I am not buying the ‘bodily fluids’ line. One of the main doctors involved stated just days back that if you “shake an infected person hand and then touch the corner of your eye - your dead”.

Still - as long as our responses evolve beyond the keystone cops routine recently seen in Dallas - the US should be ok. Extremely aggressive quarantine is the key.

Law suites coming galore by hungry attorneys already in discussions about Ebola patients.....

"...Ebola "is an issue we have been discussing for the last couple of days in the office," Dallas County District Attorney Craig Watkins said in an interview on the local NBC affiliate on Friday...... After the show was recorded, Watkins said he did not know the exact charge the patient, Thomas Eric Duncan, would receive from the DA's office, NBC DFW reported."

Sure. That's why they're dressed like that.

After reading on another thread about how Ebola kills, it occurred to me that it’s a slow acting Andromeda Strain.

Maybe Mrs. Obama can cook a big pot of potatoes for them (in her kitchen) ...

Drug developer Chimerix Inc said its experimental ‘Ebola drug’ has been provided for potential use in patients. ‘

The CDC’s Frieden emphasized on Monday the importance of rehydration in treating Ebola patients, especially given the lack of available doses of the ‘experimental drug ZMapp’, produced by San Diego-based Mapp Biopharmaceutical...... Frieden has also said that a second experimental drug, made by Canada’s Tekmira Pharmaceuticals Corp, can be difficult for patients to take.
