Do these people live in a strange, near-parallel universe or something??

Look - the administration is taking a BIG gamble here. All it’s going to take is one, single case not related to medical personnel and the wheels will come off of this, fast. I would make a case that this type of event is, by epidemiological odds, a certainty. It really would have been better to take a stand of grim, competent preparation, which, of course, is now impossible.

“Leave it to a democrat to see things that way. It would be like saying the silver lining to Hitler was that it showed everyone how important a big military is. Or the silver lining in murder is that it shows how important policemen are. There is no silver lining to a bad thing. No one thinks gov’t plays no role in combating disease. That doesn’t mean we should shovel billions of dollars to gov’t so they can study STUPID stuff instead.”

Uhhhh...never let a crisis go to waste?

“..... Americans will never forget the quartering by force, by secrecy and the deaths which followed (not yet reported). ....”

What “quartering by force” ?

Quarantine?

Quarantine is the way to contain a deadly disease....

not the half @$$3d way 0 and his minions are doing it.

Is “quartering by force” the release of people -that have recently arrived from the hot zone- into the ‘self-quarantine’?

Need more info on that term ‘quartering by force’...

People in NYC are afraid to use the subway where the person next to you is a half foot from you. Packed like Sardines, then they cough, and the windows are closed.

I think this poll is Dem wishful thinking.

You're right. The so-called experts can't agree whether the disease spreads only by intimate contact or if you can pick it up through casual contact.

One of the true believers brought up the oft-repeated talking point that more people die from the flu every year. They don't understand that as Obama lets more and more infected people into this country, that statistic is going to change.

Not just change, but we don’t know how much. I would guess, though, that plenty of these people have nothing to do with medicine. The problem with it being flu season is that early Ebola symptoms pass off as the flu. Early detection and treatment is key to increasing the chances of survival.

These people likely have no idea that real people are scared enough to pretty much not go out and cause harm to local business. What’s more, it takes a lot of a hospitals’ resources to run isolation units which aren’t meant for a whole lot of people. Could try tents if neccessary, but still, if Ebola finds a reservoir where it can hide, we will be stuck having repeated outbreaks within the country.

I heard a doctor on a morning commute radio show discussing the selection of Ron Klain as the Ebola Czar, "... no relevant experience or knowledge, but he shares Obama's genocidal ideology."

Apparently, so does this Democrat activist nurse.

"More than 7 in 10 Americans say the federal government can stop an Ebola epidemic, and 54% believe the federal government is doing a “good job” in addressing the disease.

I saw it polled as the exact reverse.
