We’ve lost our collective minds...

The Ebola panic is going to be more harmful than Ebola.

We've got, what, two confirmed cases in the United States and it is already round-the-clock front page news across the country. Wait until we get a dozen confirmed cases, then a hundred. It's going to be pandemonium. Our health care infrastructure is going to fall apart.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have our October surprise. Keep the citizens from thinking about the upcoming election in the hopes of squeaking through the RATs to allow them at least a 50/50 hold on the Senate (and control with Biden @ 50/50).

The first child isolated will trigger it. Working mothers who compensate for guilt over being absent from their child’s life by becoming hyper-protective, the sort who demand antibiotics for a cold and won’t take no for an answer, will go absolutely ballistic.

Because the end result is not much different than Liberia once we lose control over those infected. This is a communicable disease with a 50%-90% fatality rate, and those fatalities die a horrible death. The American people are smart enough to understand that continuing to bring people here from infected nations is incredibly dangerous and risks a pandemic. They are also smart enough to know that this is likely to spiral out of control as the CDT and President Obola continue to triple down on criminally negligent policies.

We have exactly 23 beds in this entire country that can handle Level 4 diseases like Ebola. After that, about the best we can hope for is on a par with Dallas Presby, meaning that other healthcare professionals will get infected EVEN WITH RECOMMENDED PRECAUTIONS. How many will continue to work in those conditions? How will that affect other things that need to be addressed like heart attacks, strokes, accidents, etc., etc.?

We have no clue exactly how the disease spreads, it mutates in literally every body in which it finds a host, there’s a variant (Ebola Reston) that WAS airborne - so there’s a not insubstantial chance that this one could be, and yet we’re still allowing people to come in from West Africa!

You want a better perspective than the “nothing to worry about” attitudes/platitudes of the Centers for Disease Transmission, go to this website and search “Ebola” - and then READ. Come back later when you’ve been educated a bit more. http://raconteurreport.blogspot.com/
