Ebola’s arrival in U.S. was inevitable, experts say

The world suddenly seemed a lot smaller when news broke Tuesday that the first person diagnosed with Ebola in the U.S. is being isolated and treated at a Dallas hospital. While the outbreak in West Africa has sickened more than 6,000 people and killed 3,083, it was only a matter of time before the virus hit closer to home, experts said. Dr. Edward Goodman, hospital epidemiologist at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, said he was not surprised that the Ebola virus came to his doorstep, given the number of cases in Africa.

There is “plenty of opportunity for people to fly over and come to any part of the United States,” he told reporters Tuesday. Other experts agree that it was inevitable for the Ebola virus to spread beyond Africa. Given the unprecedented scale of the virus’ outbreak in West Africa, at least a handful of imported cases were expected to arrive in other countries.

But many predicted that the Ebola virus would reach another country before the U.S. Using mathematical models to predict how infectious diseases spread, experts at Northeastern University ranked the top 15 countries where Ebola could emerge next

This can’t be. That’s not what the one said. How dare they contradict the one.

When they asked him for his social security number, he told them he didn’t have one, because he was from Liberia and just here visiting.

To add insult to injury, Fox News reported this afternoon, that the hospital had just finished a review of protocol for Ebola to make sure that everyone would know detection, screening, and isolation protocols.

Obama and Jerret are wanting this. This is their plan from the start.

"Paybacks"

Obama and possibly Jarrett harbor resentment toward the white colonials and others who came to their respective (alleged) countries of origin or heritage and developed mineral and other wealth. Those "rich white men" did well for themselves, with resources which have not done quite as well since they left, and which have been the bone for many a dogfight within their respective jurisdictions.

That hatred of "rich white men" has been nurtured and transferred to all whites, regardless of involvement (or none) in those eras of colonial exploitation.

Between Capitalism and Crackas, what's not to hate?

Certainly ebola in the USA was inevitable thanks to Ebola Obama’s visa and immigration rule changes. Obama relaxed all visa restrictions that would otherwise apply for communicable diseases from Africa and elsewhere, including AIDs. According to Obama the restrictive rules had no real function, they were just “racist” and so were done away with. So now we have tousands of sick illegal aliens entering under Obamas executive order amnesty which has now caused a huge resperatory sickness epidemic in the USA, with Ebola knocking at the door. Next it will be louse born typhus and the Plague.The African bed bugs are already an epidemic in New York.

Thats the reality and we should be dealing with it, rather than being involved in Utopian Wet Dreams.

We should not be allowing any air travel to the USA from the areas in Africa that have the Ebola epidemic.

On Sept 19, I said “How long before ebola is here? What will the democrats and the media say to justify it?”

And on Sept 12 another poster said:
“Of course, this administration will do exactly the wrong thing - let patients in so they can spread it here.”

The only possible solution was to close the borders to people to and from the infected countries. Instead, our fearless leader deliberately and intentionally kept them open and plans to keep them open.

That’s just one of the costs of the election of someone of indigenous African heritage - he wouldn’t be motivated to protect the citizens of a majority white nation, now would he? There’s more anti-white-anti-colonialism running through his veins than blood...and he did say that Malcolm X ‘spoke’ to him the most.
And Malcolm wanted a Mau Mau in the US.
