Dallas Mayor: "It May Get Worse Before it Gets Better"
The Weekly Standard ^ | October 15, 2014 | Daniel Halper

Posted on 10/15/2014 6:17:39 AM PDT by Biggirl

"There are two things that I harken back to this. The only way that we are going to beat this is person by person, moment by moment, detail by detail. We have those protocols in place, the city and county, working closely with the CDC and the hospital. The second is we want to minimize rumors and maximize facts. We want to deal with facts, not fear.

CNN playing the phone call with the nurse Union.

Seven other patients were in the area. The personal protective equipment included pieces of tape to cover the neck area of the healthcare providers. Filth piled up in his room.

And this is not your charity hospital. This is an award-winning hospital.

Dallas Mayor: "It May Get Worse Before it Gets Better"

Truer words were never spoken.

The contagious Third World is now planning to spread more of their diseases into the US---WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS.

144 disease-ridden countries violated the US/Mexican border---carriers of TB, Ebola, Chikungunya, Dengue fever, Norovirus. Hantavirus, Swine flu, Varicella. Variola, E-coli.......and carriers of childhood diseases America stamped out years ago.......are all here in our communitities, in our schools, in our stores and restaurants....handling our food and merchandise.

GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters) 10/15/14 - The United States should provide billions of dollars to help Central American nations curb the flow of illegal migrants, Guatemalan President Otto Perez said, and his government warns the problem will get worse if Washington fails to help.

"The United States has to support this, it has no other option," Guatemala's foreign minister, Carlos Morales, told Reuters. "If they don't support it, the crisis will kick off again, you can count on it."

Fleeing violence, trying to reach relatives already in the United States or seeking jobs, record numbers of child migrants from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador have been stopped at the southern U.S. border this year, causing widespread alarm.

Last month, the three countries pitched Washington an ambitious development plan to confront the issue. They want to pump about $10 billion into the region to create jobs and lift living standards, with the bulk of funding coming from the United States, Perez told Reuters.

He hopes the plan could come up with about $2 billion a year from 2015 to 2019, a sum he equated to roughly 10 percent of annual U.S. spending on border security and immigration enforcement. The package would boost infrastructure and provide more jobs in all three countries, especially in areas that send large numbers of migrants to the United States, he added. ####

Sure. And so does anyone with even a passing knowledge of the subject. But people are determined to lie to themselves and pretend that it can’t happen here.

It’s football season and clearly that is more important than holding the idiots who intentionally exposed the country to the plague accountable. Don’t worry, someone will fix this before it hits (insert random town or city here).

Yeah, he must be paying attention.

Pure evil has been let loose in Dallas.

Sure is a good thing all the statesmen and women in Washington are working the election, I'd sure hate to see them do anything rash or drastic... /s

Like someone said, "Enjoy Barack Obama's Legacy, America."

This administration thinks if America is infected America will devote its ill-gotten wealth towards a cure.

Otherwise we'd be too racist to care what happens in the third world.

The refusal to close borders, the lying about the risk, the references to our obligation because of our past, the general attitude that our earnings do not belong to us - it all makes sense.

Of all the scandals that ever were, this one exceeds them all by light years.

People wonder why I don’t pay attention to sports. There are real problems out there but most are addicted to endless 24/7 bombardment. It’s fine and all to like sports but I run into more who are interested in the latest scores and stats than anything else.

Not to worry. Besides his greatest leagacy of (potentially) killing thousands of Americans with Obola; his second greatest FUBO (ObamaCare) will cure us all.

Right?

......to question whether we should refuse travelers from Ebola-infected countries is to identify oneself as a right-wing nut, even a racist......

Hillary wrote “ it takes a village.” But it took only one doofus-— Obama-—to expose the lib/prog’s dumb “humanitarian” elitism that is endangering Americans and their families.

These brain-dead, feel-good types with a “Heart of Gold,” believe “singling out” backward nations or antediluvian cultures which pose deadly threats to the public health or safety of Americans “stigmatizes” those nations or cultures, it “shames” them, it makes them “feel” unequal.

It’s (horrors) “judgmental.”

We can never, Ever suggest that America prefers already existing tax-paying, law-abiding citizens to diseased foreigners or those w/ big plans for our heads.

I used football as an example but it applies to anything really. I expect it from the left and the moderates, but most of the right is just as bad.

There is ALWAYS an excuse, always something more important than taking an active involvement in their world. And then the election comes and they vote for whoever keeps the TV on ‘no matter what’.

No, not everyone has to run for office or march in the streets. But because so many paid so little attention, we now have the world we live in today. The problem is even worse though. the problem is many are content to keep doing the same thing and are content to complain about the results.

Yeah, never got interested in sports for the most part and the majority at work are. They do a lot of sports talk that bores the heck out of me, but if I mention concerns about Ebola or make a comment about the respiratory disease killing children I get told Ohhhh stop talking about depressing stuff. Wahhh.

It’s hard spending many hours a day with nobody really to actually “talk” to.
