Yet the CDC and the administration insist on magical thinking.
Ebola is harder to catch than the flu, but much easier than say AIDS. Yet to the public they are saying “Treat it like HIV”.
I hope and pray we don’t see secondary and tertiary cases in a few days in Dallas. But if we do, at some point the game of “Lets Pretend” has to stop. Liberia seems to be unable to do it, Nigeria did. I fear we are more like Liberia.

It'll be DO SOMETHING NOW as a survival imperative for every politician, especially a few weeks out from a national election.
I have no doubt even Obama will be forced to quarantine all travelers from West Africa for 21 days...and eventually all international travelers.

Ebola is in the wild in Dallas and I have no doubt there are 10's of scavenger animals infected...and in another 2-3 weeks probably hundreds.
