Are we going to have to send 3000+ HAZMAT suits for our soldiers in danger? Some of those guys are going to have build the 17 different sites and they'll be needing more guys to watch their backs while they're building those tents and beds. And won't they make a tempting target for ISIL?
Something that no one has mentioned, but which must have occurred to more than just me is......what if this isn’t some insane stunt by Obama?
The nightmare scenario would be that the situation and projections are so much worse than we think, that this is a desperate act to regain control of something worse than we realize, and that is a bigger threat to civilization than we realize, one so big, and so close to fruition, that this desperate decision is called for?
It might be time to look at other advanced nations and see if they are taking any desperate measures, if they appear to be overreacting, then it could be that the people in the know know something, if not, then it is Obama.
I suspect they are managing this situation in the same fashion they might respond to a natural disaster, by making standard health services available for things other than ebola, by constructing some field hospitals, by erecting off-the-shelf portable medical facilities, etc.
It might be a nice gesture, but I don’t see it solving a problem.
BTW, it’s a lot more than 3000+ Biosafety Level 4 suits.
There are only about 57 known BSL 4 facilites worldwide and about 16 in the US.
These folks are trying to treat BSL4 conditions as though they are BSL1 or BSL2 conditions at best.
It’s tough enough to get 3000 men to pee in the same general area on bivuoac, let alone try to establish a BSL4 facility to stop a pandemic????
If they want public attention to the problem, just bring back some of the infected medical staff and house them as domestic help in the homes of leading Democratic politicians and regulators. It’s for the children of future generations. /s
