Though there is no plan yet to move all Ebola patients to specialized biocontainment facilities, only seven spots at these facilities remain open in the United States.

There are four hospitals with biocontainment facilities in the United States, and they have 11 beds that can be used at any one time for Ebola patients, officials told ABC News. Four of those beds are currently being occupied by Ebola patients.

Levin is saying there are probably 10,000 hospitals, etc. in the US. Do they all have the equipment and knowhow to deal with this crap? NO!

0bama’s chickens are coming home.....unless it’s just all a ‘drill’ like Sandyhook was.

The Shemp Smiths of the world seem unable to fathom how quickly Ebola could literally go from Zero-to-Worst Case Scenario in an instant.

Well, if we’d only not been such stingy TEA Party types and given them $20 thousand million more, they’d have room for 20 patients.

I swear, we’re such greedy bastards.

***The only survivors will be people on death row.***

Reminds me of THE DAY OF THE TRIFFIDS in which prisoners were the only people who did not witness a meteor shower and go blind, except for our hero who had eye injuries and had his eyes covered with bandages.

Well, at least we know now what Obama’s referenced Ebola SWAT Teams are for, and it ain’t to get you to a treatment facility to cure you. Now I know why we sent 3,000 military troops to West Africa. They will really mean it when they quarantine a whole city or town. He needs troops trained to shoot people who try to get out.

150 per DAY flying in from the Hot Zone. How many of them have it, is the big question.

Some news sources had already published this info.

Emory University Hospital in Georgia, the National Institutes of health in Maryland, Nebraska Medical Centre or the St Patrick Hospital in Montana.

These are the four hospitals with biocontainment level 4. That is why the current patients have been transferred to these facilities leaving a total remaining beds of seven.
