As U.S. Ebola Fears Widen, Reports of Possible Cases Grow

The health systems there have collapsed….

Wow, only 50 doctors. That's sad. I feel bad for those people. But we do need to ensure the safety of our own people; best done by blocking travel to the USA from those affected nations. Heck, some european countries are blocking travel, why shouldn't we. Our nation and our people are sending help, so we're not heartless. Too bad our Presidunce Obummer isn't protecting us.

We’ve got a active case of Ebola in Washington, DC. What will happen in this cesspool with the current bunch of clowns running the show? Even the brain dead liberals in the town will put it together, sooner or later, that the Ebola threat is real and it WILL kill them if they’re infected. When this reality sinks in, the Spam will hit the fan blades and be sprayed in all directions. There will be panic as these idiots think they can run away from Ebola and spread it to other uninfected areas of the country.

Thanks for the excellent read. This is the guy who discovered Ebola, and he seems very calm and cool. However, several things he said are worrisome:

"We Flemish tend to be rather unemotional, but it was at that point that I began to get really worried."
"I really never thought that it could get this bad."
"Even in 2014, we hardly have any way to combat this virus."
"And it is clear that the virus is mutating."
"... they died in their shacks and we couldn't do anything except let them die. In principle, it's still the same today. That is very depressing."

Obama administration officials said they believe that screening of passengers in the affected countries in Africa, by taking their temperature and requesting information about their activities, is the best way to prevent the virus from spreading to the United States. Yeah, if I thought I contacted Ebola and believed the only possible way to survive was to travel to the USA for the best medical care in the world... I would lie my arse off...take something to get the fever down and fly...

Many here would claim that they just know they would never do anything like try to get here to save their own skins - obviously have no idea of human nature and just assume that they would willingly forfeit their lives for "the common good". I don't know what I would do because I haven't had to make the decision.

Plus, how many times has one woke up feeling fine and developed a fever and symptoms of a cold/Flu by lunchtime? Huge gaping flaw in the "take their temperature and have them fill out a questionnaire" as a "prophylactic measure"...
