Lots of people didn’t believe the bulk of the evidence: not aerosolized, not particularly contagious until late stages, and spread mostly by ignorant cultures that hide their sick, transport the dying in cabs, and then wash their dead.

Such an amorphous blob is the feckless fool on the hill. Delusional, taking credit for everything on the planet except his sanity. The Ivy League has educated a society of stupid people, and this is proof.

In the last outbreak, we were simply lucky - it had little to do with this administration following advice or having an interest in the well being of Americans here, or those sent to help - and we're not out of the woods yet with Ebola, as Obama claims.

I hope he isn't president if/when a more virulent strain of Ebola or other pathogen emerges.

How very odd. When I Google "How ebola was beaten," I get about a half-million hits and very few if any mention Obama. Here's a small sample:

How we beat the Ebola epidemic

Did the U.S. military help?
Forbidden by the Pentagon from working directly with patients, the troops sent to Liberia focused on building treatment centers. But by the time they finished the first U.S.-supported clinic in November, infection rates were already in significant decline. In total, the 11 clinics they built treated just 28 Ebola patients; nine centers haven't had a single case. [POF comment -- IOW, the U.S. military intervention was useless]

How Nigeria beat the ebola virus in three months

At its core was the system Nigeria had developed for its war against polio and lead poisoning. The deputy manager of the polio campaign was brought in to head the Ebola response team and operations were rapidly scaled up.

The success of the system lies in a strong coordinating team that supervises house-to-house surveillance. A team of 40 trained epidemiologists and 150 contact tracers was mobilised...the team also managed the data, infection alerts and rumours, and implemented community-based surveillance.

Five other units backed up their work. These included strategy and coordination, case management and infection control, social mobilisation, laboratory services and points of entry. The strategy team coordinated the activities of the ministries of health and the international partners, dealt with the media and ensured funding, administrative and logistic support. The social mobilisation team worked on advocacy, dealing with issues of stigma, the psychological and social well-being of contacts and the reintegration of discharged patients into their communities. One of the six units that formed part of the incident manager system, was a social mobilisation team that ensured information leaving the Ebola operation centre was accurate. All ports of entry were monitored. The temperature of everyone passing through airports, seaports and land borders were checked for potential exposure.

The case management and infection control team treated and managed every laboratory-confirmed or suspected case. Their job was also to prevent the infection being transmitted. This involved training health care workers at treatment centres and health care facilities on how to take precautions and set up screening centres. They also focused on ensuring safe burials.

LEt us not forget that when he was proclaiming that Ebola was completely contained, we had the woman flying up to Chicago and traveling out and about one of the largest urban areas. It was sheer luck that she was not contagious at that point. If she had been, it would likely have spread like wildfire and no efforts by the CDC could have prevented it. That is no way to run a country.

His comments pretty much ensure that Ebola will return with a vengeance

Heck, he’ll stand on the shore and raise his mighty golf club and demand the Tsunami to halt.

Daniel 4:28-33 New International Version (NIV)

The Dream Is Fulfilled
28 All this happened to King Nebuchadnezzar. 29 Twelve months later, as the king was walking on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon, 30 he said, “Is not this the great Babylon I have built as the royal residence, by my mighty power and for the glory of my majesty?”

31 Even as the words were on his lips, a voice came from heaven, “This is what is decreed for you, King Nebuchadnezzar: Your royal authority has been taken from you. 32 You will be driven away from people and will live with the wild animals; you will eat grass like the ox. Seven times will pass by for you until you acknowledge that the Most High is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and gives them to anyone he wishes.”

33 Immediately what had been said about Nebuchadnezzar was fulfilled. He was driven away from people and ate grass like the ox. His body was drenched with the dew of heaven until his hair grew like the feathers of an eagle and his nails like the claws of a bird.

Re: the top photo showing only young men

What character of “man” leaves the women and children of their families behind? Unbelievable!

If conditions are so bad in their home country that they must flee would any real man leave their wife, mother, sisters, and children behind?

These “men” are despicable!

These men are despicable! Yes they are!

Each one is a Trojan Horse waiting to unite with more jihadist Trojan Horses.
