White House National Security Advisor Susan Rice says other countries “haven’t done enough” to help stop the deadly disease Ebola from spreading.
“We are pushing very hard for everybody to do more. This is going to take all hands on deck,” she told NBC’s Chuck Todd, in an interview set to air Sunday on “Meet the Press.”
Ebola has killed more than 4,000 people, mostly centralized to three countries in Western Africa. The outbreak has caused skepticism of international health workers in some of those communities, who fear the workers could be spreading the disease instead of helping cure it.
The outbreak in Africa began in March in Guinea, but has rapidly spread, primarily, to Liberia and Sierra Leone.
The Obama administration has also authorized up to 4,000 American troops to go into West Africa to assist in the effort. A smaller advance team in Liberia is already opening up clinics for infected aid workers and testing labs to expedite patient checks for the disease.
A man who traveled to Dallas from Liberia became the single case of Ebola diagnosed in the United States. He died last week from the illness.
Five U.S. airports are stepping up screening measures on passengers arriving from the mostly Ebola-afflicted countries in Western Africa, in addition to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention testing airport passengers departing the capitals of Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea.
The disease is only spread through contact with bodily fluids of a diseased person, but as those being treated increase beyond hospital capacities, friends and family members are left to care for the ill – making it likely they will come into contact with those fluids.
Among the many symptoms of the disease are vomiting and excessive bleeding both internally and through parts of the body, including the eyes and nose.
Wow. Blaming everybody else again. Color me shocked. /s
Don’t blame you, don’t blame me, blame that man behind the tree!
PING!
Other countries haven’t been helpful. They’ve quarantined the site of the outbreak. /S
If every country would stop issuing travel visas to those affected countries and the ones surrounding them maybe we could start to get it under control.
Typical Sue....blah, blah, blah
I heard it was part of Biden’s portfolio.
blame the white folks, they didn’t send enough money
it’s just rasis
Susan Rice isn’t qualified to teach 3rd grade. And leaders around the world know it.

What USED TO BE on the Web page of the CDC as of 8/2/14:
“In this guidance healthcare personnel (HCP) refers all persons, paid and unpaid, working in healthcare settings who have the potential for exposure to patients and/or to infectious materials, including body substances, contaminated medical supplies and equipment, contaminated environmental surfaces, or CONTAMINATED AIR. “

Transmission of Ebola virus from pigs to non-human primates
A study conducted in 2012 showed that Ebola was able to travel between pigs and monkeys that were in separate cages and were never placed in direct contact.
======> BUSH <=======
Another great example of "leading from behind", a.k.a. pulling your foreign policy decisions out of Obama's behind.
This is rich. Meanwhile, keep the borders open and the flights from West Africa going.
Yea, Susan I dare you, go ahead and blame BUSH for not stopping the spread of Ebola.
Sending Troops to fight Ebola ,Insanity at it’s best
Teaching third grade requires much knowledge, patience, and skill. I would not hire her.
The zer0 regime needs to STFU and ban all flights out of that part of Africa. That is if they want to stop the threat, which they don’t.
Color, there’s the problem. NO/s
Like someone said, she is not qualified to teach 3rd grade. I’m sick of the flood of equality where there isn’t any qualification.
No sarcasm, no apology. Tolerance sucks and gets us all killed.
Now we have it from Susan Rice, an administration official of unquestioned knowledge and credibility, so we can all finally rest easy.
lol
Yep, it will happen if it hasn’t already
