I have obtained ( through secret channels) a clip of Frieden rehearsing for his appearance on the Hill today:

How you feel? OK?"

Time for the Solution to the root problem in a single day:

Playing Russian Roulette with people THIS LATE in the crisis! When does the ‘A-Game’ kick in? From the beginning, up until now:

This is too stupid to be stupid!

Which means?

Either it was deliberate or insane.

One thing is for certain — ‘why’ doesn’t even matter. A high crime and misdemeanor does not need to demonstrate motive. And the only ‘proof’ required is abject, unpardonable failure to do one’s sworn duty. The RNC should go through the motions — impeach in House and patriotic senators petition for an impeachment trial on the same day.

A single day!

Public record is all that is required at this point.

PUT THE DNC ON THE HOT SPOT. THIS CRISIS IS FAR ABOVE PETTY ‘RACE’ ISSUES BECAUSE EVERY RACE IS VULNERABLE TO EBOLA! If the DNC wants to subject the US to more of this ‘leader-ship’, let it BE ON RECORD! Then let the voters decide next month.

We can choose to forgive without pardoning. Forgiveness is a matter of the heart, not a matter of good governance.

I await his explanation of how you can't contract Ebola on public transportation, but can still transmit it. It should be interesting to watch. I hope someone asks him about the adequacy of the specific CDC recommendations, too.

CDC "Infection Prevention and Control Recommendations for Hospitalized Patients with Known or Suspected Ebola Virus Disease in U.S. Hospitals"

All persons entering the patient room should wear at least:

* Gloves

* Gown (fluid resistant or impermeable)

* Eye protection (goggles or face shield)

* Facemask

As I read the news, Dallas Presbyterian hospital was exceeding the CDC recommendations. (Considering the risk involved, these recommendations seem woefully inadequate. I have trouble believing that "Baghdad Tom" ever read what was on his own website.)

Health care workers, particularly nurses, seem to be at highest risk for contracting the disease.

--- PUT THE DNC ON THE HOT SPOT. ---

Great post. Unfortunately, yesterday Mitch McConnell said that "we should do whatever the CDC recommends," when asked about stopping flights out of West Africa.

Boehner said that the president should "strongly consider" stopping flights from West Africa.

The GOPe is almost as bad as the Democrap/Communist Party.

Good question.

I am equally interested in the reasoning behind his assertion that banning commercial flights in and out of the hot zones would somehow make containing the virus more difficult.

We're limiting the ability of Americans who might have come on contact with Ebola patients to fly domestically, but we won't stop people from West Africa from coming here.

PC has finally run amok!!

Your logic should be painful to their ‘ears’.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

Since I don't have cable anymore will I be able to see it here as C-Span made it so you can't watch unless you are on cable?

Is there another link that isn't C-Span that will be showing it?

I joined at the minute 18 mark, when the bubble head D rep started speaking. I couldn’t do it. I tried and couldn’t.

We are so screwed.

The C-Span streaming is very spotty and jerky, at least for me. FNC is airing it for now but you know they will cut away from it if it gets boring!

Waxman looks like a poster boy for the Fruit Bats that are recognized as transmitters of Obola.
