I find it interesting that many treat Ebola as a stronger strain of the flue rather than the planet killer it has the potential to be. There is a reason that labs working with it are massively sealed and workers wear Jules Verne looking dive suits around it. Because it really is THAT dangerous.

Now granted, unwarranted panic is never good and can be a hell of a manipulative tool. But this isn’t the common cold. Nothing about Ebola is unwarranted. And considering the sheer vindictiveness and agenda driven actions of the DC crowd, I think everyone is crazy to NOT be panicky.

The virus may not spread very far here, but the economic damage will be extensive. Just for one example, it costs a lot of money for 4000 passengers on a ship to be diverted, their vacation ruined, and have the coast guard fly a helicopter out to get a blood sample for one possibly infected person. Then the cruise line will have to disinfect the whole ship. Let's see how many cruises get cancelled in the next few weeks.

All because we didn't want to restrict travel.

The irrational fear of an alien pathogen is fueled by rational suspicion of an incompetent and dishonest government....

That about sums it all up. We just don't trust the Obungler, or any of the brainless idiots he sends out there.

Bad things happen to all presidents. The difference is that most of them handled bad situations correctly. It has nothing to do with luck. Just common sense and competence and it should work out well enough. Obama could’ve shut down everything, but he doesn’t care.

I’m not panicked. I’m just furious that this president is trying to kill us and congress won’t stop him.

Bad things? What bad things? Bringing Ebola to Europe and North America will be a huge step toward equality between Africa and the West. Once we have a few diseases like theirs, the differences between us and Africa will be smaller. Mission accomplished - as seen by the enemy in our White House.

Obama will start on Marburg and Lassa next.

They point out that, so far, one person from Liberia died in a Texas hospital and two nurses who treated him got sick. Period, end of panic.

Somehow I think we have only entered the opera's intro and the fat lady has yet to sing.

“President Obama has spent six years squandering it, and the administration’s confusion, contradictions and mistakes on Ebola fit the pattern. This is how he rolls.”

X factor? It was predicted with sold proof of just how
untrustworthy the Obama was with the way he won elections
in his rise to power. He squandered nothing because he
had nothing to begin with. This, every bit of it, is the
fault of a squeamish spineless republican party. Everything
from low-balling investigations of his criminal staff to
intentionally saying or doing nothing while knowing all
along what the Obama was doing to it’s base with the IRS.

He squandered nothing. The republicans did.

“Whatever you call it, the Ebola scare is proof that Bad Things Happen to Bad Presidents. “

No one ever doubted it. What was wondered over and over was How long can ignorance on the part of common Americans and a protective Liberal press carry the fool?

We’re getting our answer now.

The founders gave us a remedy for bad presidents that we rarely use.

The irrational fear of an alien pathogen is fueled by rational suspicion of an incompetent and dishonest government….

The rational concern about a virus of the biosafety level 4 category is fueled by a history of lies and coverups from this deceptive administration.

The lie is the weapon used most often by the criminal.

If you like your healthcare…

Not an accurate count from sources I have read.

Not allowing a travel from those countries infected with the Ebola plague, Obama runs the risk of having the blood of any people who die from people flying with the disease.
I think he is driven from his own Prejudices and believes America and Americans deserve to be infected.

It isn’t karma, fate or bad luck more like a plan.
