It would seem politically Obama owns Ebola. He didn’t restrict flights. The THREE STOOGES CDC is incompetent.
I know they are trying a ‘Republicans tried to cut funding; they are to blame’ spin, but Democrats OWN THIS CRISIS. It’s on their watch.
It has the potential to make Katrina look like a picnic.
It’s caused by racism, calamity change and the rich.
Flu season is just beginning. Should be an interesting winter.
You may be onto something...Think, Koch Obola...
LOL! Yep, great observation.
NOW it’s important. Just as Islamic State’s war crimes became “important” when a journalist got beheaded.
France, Spain and even England historically have much closer ties to Africa and Africans than the United States. Why have there been no ebola scares in these countries? Seems I recall a brief panic in Italy earlier in the year, but nothing else.
They don’t have black prime ministers or presidents?
They have historically closer ties and I’m under the impression that they have larger populations of Africans living in those countries. Two of the countries in the ebola hot zone are French-speaking, so I’d honestly expect France to have had a scare or two before the United States.
Why is IS only be-heading white guys?
Perhaps the media is rabid than here.
In the US you can read news stories about ebola 24 hours a day and not read any of them twice.
If this keeps up for a long period of time there will be an attrition of physicians, nurses, X-ray, lab personal, orderlies, even the foodl services personal. If I let my imagination get away from me I believe this could rapidly overwhelm the health care industry. If it fizzles things will settle down. The problem is physicians and nurses and others will see 'cold-like' symptoms in many diseases, but you only need one of the real thing to exact an unforgiving price. Even if we learn to treat with a high degree of survivability, people are not going to want to put their families at risk. They will not be willing to constantly be on edge and put their children and spouses at potential risk. This type of constant stress will exact a toll.
Ya forgot Bush’s Fault. Or maybe the Koch Brothers’ fault. (You did mention “the rich,” so that’s a bit close.)
/Ya know it’s coming
I bet it is there, but the Islamist overrun areas aren’t exactly transparent wrt health issues...
That may be true, hard to tell.
They could also run screaming to international media claiming that the French are trying to kill them, a la Louis Farrakhan in this country.
When it hits DC, that is when it will be taken seriously. They don’t care about Texas, but they care about their own skin.
Couple of things. Some reports say that those countries have flight restrictions for people with passports and flights directly from the regions.
Some reports say it is in France, but they are not reporting it, because they need the tourism dollars.
Could be true.
Say what you will about France and the French but at least they still have a national identity and a will to survive, warped though it may seem when viewed from our side of the Atlantic.
President Zero doesn't own anything. The wheels on the Obama bus just get wider so they can run over more underlings or blame those eeeeeevill Republicans.
When will the American people finally have enough.
