Can’t believe I’m agreeing with Clown Car Joe on this one.
PING!
Why? Is there something our government hasn’t told us?
So you want to impeach obama
The very antithesis of epidemiological containment.
How bout we make Liberia the 51st state, build a few hospitals over there, and then keep the patients OVER THERE.
Nah...just buy a shotgun.
What a dolt. If Ebola ever took hold you’d need a lot more than one hospital in every State that could handle it.
Of course one in each State would be a good start, but he seems clueless about how quickly that one hospital could get overrun in a real crisis (not to mention all the equipment and personnel).
I disagree. When small states, such as Rhode Island and New Hampshire, are just an hours drive to Boston there is no need to have all 3 states with fully equipped and staffed Ebola Centers.
NO! We need a policy to quarantine every visitor from 3 countries in W Africa for 21 days. No need to spend tax payer dollars building elaborate Ebola treatment outfits. Those are expensive because of the inordinate amount of precautions needed.
Yes, we’ll need these facilities because the assclown in the white hut brought the disease here.
Stupidest Vice-President ever. And that includes some real doozies.
This needs to go way beyond just Ebola.
We have learned that after decades of exercises and billions of dollars and countless positive articles, that we weren’t ready for a bio attack at all, or even a pandemic resulting from a national catastrophe like disease waves resulting from an EMP or nuclear attack, or nature.
America needs a reawakening of our civil defense readiness and this is just one step in that direction, we need this and an emergency plan where we can expand quickly if needed, first the instant ability to treat dozens of victims of a national multiple point bioterrorist attack, and then a concrete plan and permanent preparations to expand to 100s or 1000s of beds fairly rapidly as is practical within reasonable budget concerns.
The Guard and the Reserves could be better prepared, and civilian hospitals could maintain a portion of staff that receives annual or biannual training, but all this needs to be maintained long after this story disappears, it needs to become institutionalized, just as most of us already thought it was.
Most of us thought we were prepared for this stuff and could quickly react and contain it, but now we cringe at the thought of the chaos that just a dozen infected terrorists could have caused if they had arrived in a dozen cities just like that one Liberian did, that single patient became a threat way out of proportion of what should have been.
"Virtually any hospital in the country that can do isolation can do isolation for Ebola."
-- Thomas Friedan, CDC director in sworn testimony before Congress, early October 2014.
All 57 of them!!
If they are going to allow those basterds in here make them all stay i DC!!!
Perhaps he could start with getting rid of Obamacare which is a burden on hospitals.
Let’s see, positive air ventilation, Category 5 suits for all workers and 20 workers per infected patient...hum, carry the two, add four, that would be about a billion per building, not including the nurses and doctors which are billed separately.
All 57?
Why, is it going to get that bad and they know it?
People should be quarantined “in Place”. They’re getting drips and not much more. Send in a ONE trained nurse or doctor 24/7.
