"Support the CDC and Embrace my virus."

Right now, I’m not as afraid of Ebola as I am of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The agency held a press conference Monday to provide an update on the transmission of Ebola to a nurse that cared for Thomas Eric Duncan.
After listening to this update, I have to say, I am more convinced than ever that CDC director, Dr. Tom Frieden is not the right person for the job. And I say this because this latest press conference consisted of him telling a room of reporters what anyone who has ever dealt with Ebola in the past should have known.
Unlike other disease-causing microbes, such as influenza, Ebola virus has not changed much since its discovery in 1976. The virus that is causing the West African epidemic, and subsequent cases popping up in other parts of the world, is the virtually same virus that has been around for almost 40 years.
Frieden listed a number of new procedures the CDC is considering implementing into the protocol for health care workers treating potential Ebola patients in U.S. hospitals. Those would include evaluating the protective gear being used by health care workers, having CDC inspectors observe personnel as they remove personal protective equipment outside of infected patients’ rooms, conducting full-body spray downs to decontaminate health care workers, and looking at whether or not medical equipment such as ventilators and dialysis machines – sometimes necessary for treating Ebola patients – can harbor the deadly virus after use.

I am not impressed by the handling of this whole Ebola plague-in-the-making by the CDC or NIH or the administration or public health departments (state and local). These morons are going to kill a lot of Americans thanks to their ineptitude.
The CDC has NO credibility with me thankx to Frieden
IMO - it appears he is intentionally and knowingly lying to the public - why?
Omitting important info is a lie.
You just came up with the solution to this problem. Instead of stopping flights from West Africa, let’s fly these people into Obama’s 7 extra states and quarantine them there. Once there they can’t leave.
Baghdad Bob Frieden is an Oberlin grad. What do you expect from someone selected for ideological fidelity rather than skill?
These people, in combination with the infectee, lied about his problem, then asked without warning and made up quarantine standards for hospitals on the spot, yet never restricted travel from infected areas.
Frieden should have known that any pandemic would be politicized by the Obuttboy Zombies. He never should have taken the job. Now it’s time to go.
The FOX docs should get thir act together.
Dr. Bernie Siegel says just the opposite of Dr. Manny.
Siegel says: “Don’t worry, be happy!”
CDC = Confederacy of Dunces and Cretins
Absolutely. His flippant attitude to all of this shows that he is not up to the job.

All your bedpans are belong to us.

Ha! I’ll go with Dr. Alvarez on this. :-)
Agree with Dr. Manny 100%.
Where is that POS “open flights” Dr. Siegel?
