White House Pushes Back on State Ebola Quarantines
WSJ ^ | October 27, 2014 | Colleen McCain Nelson, Melanie Grayce West and Betsy McKay

The White House pushed back against the governors of New York, New Jersey, Illinois and other states that instituted procedures to forcibly quarantine medical workers returning from West Africa, deepening an emotional debate brought on by recent Ebola cases in the U.S.

[snip] It wasn’t clear what action the (Obama) administration could take to end the quarantines.

New York Gov. (Andrew Cuomo) on Sunday night gave the first new details about how his state’s quarantine would work, ( noting that individuals would be allowed to stay in their homes for 21 days).

Political correctness is going to get all of us killed. Of course, that may be their plan.

We do not need or want your useless input, President Obola.

You have done enough already.

“We have let the governors of New York, New Jersey and other states know that we have concerns with the unintended consequences... [that quarantine] policies not grounded in science may have on efforts to combat Ebola at its source,” the official said.”

There it is again, WTH does letting people who are possibly infected into our country have to do with combating Ebola at its source? We can't fight it there unless it's here? That's absolutely crazy.

It sounds like no one at the White House understands the word “quarantine”.

Or could it just be that the White House wants to infect and kill-off as many AMERICAN citizens as possible — so there won’t be a need to build houses, cars, offices, etc. for all those NEW migrants that “the One” has invited to ignore our borders.

Out with the “old” — in with the “new”...

I guess that would be a FEATURE — not an
“unintended consequence”....

It is natural for the obama administration to push back against common sense.

Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your......

(hat tip to: fivecatsandadog!)

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...

It wouldn’t be just the medical workers that I would be quarantining. Going into this, I thought they would be smart enough to do it themselves. Now, that is clearly not the case.

Just another reason to get out and vote and give Obama the finger in Tuesday.

Within the next 48 hours, I’d like to see another photo op with Obama hugging the nurse in NJ who was just released from quarantine. (Somehow, I don’t think we’ll see this.)

It always has been their plan in my opinion. They could not win in a straight up fight so they corrupt our language and perceptions first, with the help from MSM.

Another decision that our incompetent President is going to regret. But who will he throw under the bus for making this decision? He won't have anyone to thrown under the bus!

The question no one is asking Obama:

Why bother having the CDC define different risk levels if we’re going to treat all exposure the same?
