Officials believe the wide footprint of this outbreak is partly because of the proximity between the jungle where the virus was first identified and cities such as Conakry. The capital in Guinea has a population of 2 million and an international airport.
People are traveling without realizing they're carrying the deadly virus. It can take between two and 21 days after exposure for someone to feel sick.

If “drastic action is needed now” we can send 0bama to make a speech.

How long can someone be contagious before symptoms show?

The White House is on it. They have created #ebolacanruinyourday.

He’s busy, glued to the tube watching some soccer thing. Sorry, no can do!
Maybe Darrell Issa could write a sternly worded letter to the Ebola virus.

Can’t tell if that’s a joke or not...
$23 though... could be good for cleaning up a diaper blowout.

From the article: “The good news is that Ebola isn’t as easily spread as one may think. A patient isn’t contagious — meaning they can’t spread the virus to other people — until they are already showing symptoms.”

We may yet find some with natural immunity who are not carriers.

It’s for real. There are three other varieties on the main page. Need to add an NBC respirator. That will cost more. Clothes line clips work for diapers.

“’Drastic action is needed’ now to stop Ebola epidemic “
How about having left wing celebrities hold up signs that say #StopEbola Now”.
The pictures could be put on social media websites. Maybe the First Lady could hold a sign?
That should be effective.
To: Hugin
The White House is on it. They have created #ebolacanruinyourday. they actually would like to let anyone infected to cross the border so they can sign up for ObozoCare.
