Obama Scrapped CDC Rule Giving Feds Power to Block Ill Travelers 03 Oct 2014 By John Blosser

Four years ago, quietly and without public notice, the Obama administration scrapped quarantine plans from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) which could have blocked travelers with the deadly Ebola virus from entering the U.S.

The Daily Caller reports that the rules, which would have given the federal government quarantine power over sick airline passengers, likely would have stopped Thomas Eric Duncan, a Liberian resident and the first case of Ebola reported in the U.S., from ever setting foot in the country and bringing Ebola with him.

Duncan may have infected up to 100 people before being confined to an isolation ward in a Texas hospital.

I wonder what other things Obola has “quietly” done to dismantle our defenses against various threats.

This happens under our noses, while Reince Preibus The Quiet, Johnny Boehner the Brownoser and Daryl Issa The Powerless remain completely silent. Who advocates for US besides Cruz, and Rand?

Katrina for Bush was an act of God.
A US domestic Ebola outbreak may be an act of obama.

The game of Ebola Roulette continues...

*click* spin *click* spin *click* spin…BANG!

Eeeee-bolllll-aaaaaa ping!

Bring Out Your Dead

We’re gonna need

a bigger cart!

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...

Unlikely. Duncan wasn’t showing any symptoms when he flew here.

I agree. He wants to bring us down to the level of his ancestors in Africa.

Now that the Africans know that they can be saved from Ebola by going to America, we can expect a tsunami of “unaccompanied refugees” who are accompanied only by the Ebola virus. Here they come!

Boo chit. Duncan was asymptomatic during his flight, and he denied being exposed to Ebola on his exit questionnaire in Liberia. It was a bad idea to scrap that quarantine rule, however.

Open borders, planes from everywhere, free trade uber alles.

PING!

BammyBoy has been treason on two feet ever since he achieved any power.

Having removed CDC authority to bar Ebola cases from coming to America, we should rename Ebola to Obola. As he made possible its spread to America, he owns it!
