General: US Troops Who Contract Ebola Will Be Quarantined in Liberia
Breitbart ^ | Oct. 18, 2014 | Edwin Mora

If any American soldiers in Liberia contract the deadly Ebola virus, they will be quarantined, stabilized, and evacuated to a medical facility for treatment, said the Ebola mission commander, adding that the U.S. military hospitals that will admit potentially infected troops have not yet been identified.

“If, God forbid, one of these soldiers, sailors, airmen, or marine contracted this disease, as I mentioned, they would be stabilized, they would be quarantined, we would go through the appropriate protocols,” Maj. Gen. Darryl Williams, commander of U.S. Army Africa, said on October 16 while briefing reporters in the Pentagon by telephone from Liberia. “People would be attending to them in the appropriate PPE [personal protective equipment]."

“Fly infected Africans to the USA for the best treatment available - but sentence our patriotic military to second class treatment.”

The Ebola-stricken aid worker arrived in Atlanta from West Africa on a specially equipped “air ambulance” Sept. 9. The patient was driven from the airport to Emory University Hospital, then whisked into a state-of-the-art isolation and treatment facility.

The hospital declined to release any further information, citing confidentiality policies. There was no mention of where or how this person had become infected, or who this person was working with in West Africa, or where the patient was from. The patient has never been identified publicly.

Emory also remained tight-lipped about how the patient was doing, declining for five weeks to provide any updates.

Hmm, a lot of secrecy these days. Wonder if this is the Dr. who can’t doctor.

Obola, the undocumented First Moslem Murderer
will also make certain the National Guard will
also be ditched in Liberia.

A curse on the EXEMPT Congress for every infection
and every death.

Yeah, and we all know who will be responsible for them being there and being infected. Won’t we?

Interesting choice of words, given how Ebola spreads.

Obama to bring non-American Ebola victims to U.S. for treatment

Obama Plans to Let Ebola-infected Foreigners Into U.S. for Treatment
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3216618/posts

Judicial Watch has learned that the Obama administration is actively formulating plans to admit Ebola-infected non-U.S. citizens into the United States for treatment. Specifically, the goal of the administration is to bring Ebola patients into the United States for treatment within the first days of diagnosis.

It is unclear who would bear the high costs of transporting and treating non-citizen Ebola patients. The plans include special waivers of laws and regulations that ban the admission of non-citizens with a communicable disease as dangerous as Ebola.

One source tells us that the Obama administration is keeping this plan secret from Congress. The source is concerned that the proposal is illegal; endangers the public health and welfare; and should require the approval of Congress.

Breitbart News Network claims that Obama wants to bring infected Liberians here for treatment, but the traitor in our White House wants to leave infected troops over there? Even by the shockingly disgusting standards set by Obama’s administration, that is pathetic.

I said 3 years ago, serving in the military under Obama means the potential to die of political correctness.

This is astounding. He’s sending 4 thousand troops over there and there is talk of sending the National Guard. Meanwhile he is allowing people from Ebola countries to come in, no fly ban, and now those who are sick will be allowed to come here to be treated while our Troops will have to be treated over there???

Call me nuts but I believe he is depleting our protective Military and setting us up for massive epidemic in our country. Meanwhile he golfed today.....
