White House Says United States Is Prepared to Stop Spread of Ebola
New York Times ^ | October 3, 2014 | By MICHAEL D. SHEAR

White House officials on Friday vowed to prevent the spread of Ebola in the United States and to eventually halt its ability to ravage parts of West Africa. They urged calm and said the arrival of the first Ebola case in the United States should not cause excessive concern.

But the officials did not announce any new initiatives inside the United States to respond to concerns about the sometimes chaotic response by health and hospital officials to the Dallas case of Thomas E. Duncan, the Liberian man whose Ebola infection was diagnosed this week.

“The United States has the most capable health infrastructure and the most capable doctors in the world, bar none,” said Lisa O. Monaco, President Obama’s chief homeland security adviser.

“The United States is prepared to deal with this crisis, both at home and in the region,” Ms. Monaco told reporters in an afternoon briefing at the White House. “Every Ebola outbreak in the past 40 years has been stopped. We know how to do this and we will do it again.”

Which they are doing their best to destroy. The United States does have great doctors but not great leaders which are required to stop this.

Blah, blah, blah. Thanks, president Obola.

Won’t believe anything he says until the borders are sealed and air flights from Africa are stopped. Even then, I wouldn’t believe him.

He stopped the rise of the oceans, so he can stop the spread of Ebola!

I love it. They can’t even deal effectively with the first case out in Dallas. It has been a total CF. Wait til there are 100 cases.

Are they just going to keep vowing until the disease runs its course, or are they actually going to DO something?

Frankly, I don’t which course I fear the most...

With all the mistakes and confusions caused by one case in Texas, and all the man hours used, it doesn’t look like the US is prepared to handle more than a very few cases in any one city.

This is what they spout, meaningless BS without any details. This is the lazy liberal way. They just figure of course “somebody” will take care of it.
