Dr. Kent Brantly Improving; Ebola Expert Says There's No Need for Americans to Panic Over Infection
Christian Post ^ | 08/07/2014 | BY SAMI K. MARTIN

Ebola victim Dr. Kent Brantly is reportedly improving every day since being transported to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta last week, and an expert in the field of infectious diseases has said that there is no need for Americans to worry about contracting the disease.

Dr. Rossi A. Hassad, a member of the American College of Epidemiology told The Christian Post that there is actually no need to be concerned about the disease spreading.

"From a scientific perspective and based on evidence, panic is not warranted, but the general public does not have that knowledge or information. So when it comes to the general population, and given that when people think of Ebola they think of movies they've seen or documentaries … that's more fiction than it is infection. There is a version of that that is real, and that is a severe case of Ebola, which is when the patient progresses to end-stage and begins hemorrhaging from every organ, internally and externally. Sometimes that is what is portrayed by the media as scary, but most patients don't get there," Hassad explained

So, sometimes they die before then?

I don’t believe what any government says, especially mine.

So we see the video of people in hazmat suits accompanying him to the hospital. So do we believe our eyes or these paid spokesmen?

It’s nice to know I won’t die in a big pool of my blood and putrified organs.

Great! NOW they tell me; I was just putting the finishing touches on my Bubble Boy House! ;)

Look for another ‘manufactured crisis’ by the Enemy Media to cover 0bama’s arse over some screw-up this coming week...

This stuff is SO predictable. Chicken Little. Every. Damn. Day!

“no need to panic”
Our fearless leader said that it “Can Be Controlled And Contained”.
Nothing to worry about. Feel better now?

Rossi Hassad’s CV: https://www.mercy.edu/facultydirectory/rhassad_cv.pdf

He’s a PH.D, NOT AN MD!!!!! He’s an expert?

Believe your eyes, but understand what they’re showing you. As long as he’s surrounded by people taking proper precautions there really isn’t anything to worry about. He’ll either get better or he won’t but he won’t be infecting anybody either way.

Kent Brockman: So, professor, would you say it’s time for everyone to panic?”

Professor: Yes I would, Kent.

Riddle me this Dr. Rossi A. Hassad, the infection rate of supposedly trained and briefed health care workers is 1 fro every 20 infections. Why are trained pros getting ebola?

Look, look, look at Dr. Kent Brantly and that one other nurse.

Don’t look anywhere else and what the other hand was/is doing.....

Let Hassad prove his assertion. Let him and his family take up residence in the isolation room with the patients and WITHOUT any protective suits or medications.

Do that and I might have some little bit of faith in his pronouncements.

I’m comforted in knowing ObamaCare will spend a few million dollars saving my life should I catch Ebola.

Because the gov't has stockpiled enough of the experimental serum to treat Barry, Moochelle, Sasha and Malia. And maybe even Bo and Sunny. So there really is no need to panic!
