Pushing to confront Ebola at its West African source, President Barack Obama said Wednesday the United States was not immune to the disease but cautioned against discouraging American health care workers with restrictive measures that confine them upon their return from the afflicted region. "We can't hermetically seal ourselves off," he declared.
Obama said doctors and nurses from the United States who have volunteered to fight Ebola in West Africa are American heroes who must be treated with dignity and respect.
His remarks came amid debate between the federal government and several states over how returning health care workers should be monitored. The White House has pushed back against overly restrictive measures, including proposals for travel bans or isolation measures adopted by some states.
"Yes, we are likely to see a possible case elsewhere outside of these countries, and that's true whether or not we adopt a travel ban, whether or not you adopt a quarantine," Obama said from the White House, surrounded by health care workers who have volunteered or will volunteer to serve in Liberia, Sierra Leone or Guinea, where the disease has killed nearly 5,000.
"We have to keep in mind that if we're discouraging our health care workers, who are prepared to make these sacrifices, from traveling to these places in need, then we're not doing our job in terms of looking after our own public health and safety," he added.

Except from Christianity...
I will not allow the US to seal itself off.
Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your......
(Since all records of obama's past were lost in a tragic boating accident and fire, no one can be certain that the guy in the red circle isn't him...)
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...
YES WE CAN!!!!!

Who's asking for that?
But, Obama wants exposure to this totally unregulated.
Except for "his" military. Those people we can put on chain gangs.
Yes, we can. And if we had the will, we would.
Oh, and we can't just "seal off" our Southern border either. That would be racist.
What is that a picture of?
Obama is implementing his one world/no borders ideology. His acolytes at CDC are more concerned with politically correct Obama approved protocols rather than policies that would protect the health and well being of the American people. There is no vaccine, no definitive treatment, no commercially available reliable diagnostic test ,and infected people can remain asymptomatic for up to three weeks. There is no medical rational to allow travelers to enter the United States. Screening is ineffective and quarantines are not being enforced.
Who has flies walk around on their lips? WHERE HAVE HIS LIPS BEEN? I encourage Eboma to go visit Ebola patients without any protective covering.. Uhhhh, just to show us how HARMLESS Ebola is.
What is the point of this stupid picture? Whom is the guy in the circle?
And why is Karem Abdul Jabar ringing a bell?
Obama must shut down states invoking their own quarantine laws, because it demonstrates that Obama’s position on illegal immigration is a lie, that the power to stop illegal movement between the states does not lie with the federal government but is in the states.
