I love how the media, in a frantic attempt to cover Obama’s tracks, is working overtime to convince us Ebola is not deadly or highly contagious. Check, please! There are documented cases of trained experts contracting Ebola while wearing environmental suits and dying. So far, more than 100 health workers that were on the front lines fighting the virus have ended up contracting Ebola themselves. This is happening despite the fact that they go to extraordinary lengths to keep from getting the disease.
I have no problem providing the best possible treatment for those two courageous Americans who were merely trying to remedy the suffering of others, but for the life of me I don’t understand why the CDC wouldn’t secure treatment through a foreign base or hospital? Why risk a pandemic of Ebola, one of the deadliest contagions ever known to man, by consciously introducing it to our urban epicenters? Who doesn’t like to keep napalm in the forest? I could careless about the promise of experimental vaccines, or survival rates, for viruses mutate faster than the legality of an IRS audit at a gun show. Speaking of authority, for the love of God why aren’t international passengers being tirelessly screened at every port, station, checkpoint and airport traveling anywhere near the U.S.? Just don't be alarmed that the CDC has set up an Ebola "quarantine station" at LAX in order to help prevent the spread of the virus once it arrives here; which will be too late to prevent deaths on our soil. American citizens can’t take mouthwash or tweezers on a flight without being questioned or detained, yet somehow Ebola doesn’t rise to that level of discretion because Washington – ground zero for incompetence and corrupt leadership – says so?
Do you want to know what’s even scarier? Me neither! Ever since his youth Obama has blamed America and vowed revenge for the so-called rape and economic colonization of Africa; not that indigenous warlords and rogue dictators continue to enslave and kill their countrymen in the name of humanity. How ironic, utterly tragic, would it be if the modern plague of his native homeland granted Barry the national emergency he so desperately craves in order to consolidate power, bring America to its knees, and enact martial law? Sorry, I put nothing past a man who was raised by Communists, identified with radical Islamists in college and Congress, and spent 20 years in a blatantly anti-American church. And now, at the most opportune time of progressive ambivalence, we have no borders. Illegal immigrants never carry disease, do they? Thank God Mexico has standards and polio. Welcome to Ebola….population “dumb”!
Note: "Barack Obama has just signed an executive order that gives the federal government the power to apprehend and detain Americans that show symptoms of "diseases that are associated with fever and signs and symptoms of pneumonia or other respiratory illness, are capable of being transmitted from person to person, and that either are causing, or have the potential to cause, a pandemic, or, upon infection, are highly likely to cause mortality or serious morbidity if not properly controlled."
The CDC has just put up a brand new webpage entitled "Infection Prevention and Control Recommendations for Hospitalized Patients with Known or Suspected Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever in U.S. Hospitals.
Wow, such arrogance and needless condescension. Do your own homework, friend. The government would love you to join their propaganda team. It’s not rocket science, even for those in denial as to its dangers. But here’s a quote from a leading health publication just the other day: “For the first time ever, human Ebola patients are being brought to the United States. And as Paul Craig Roberts so aptly put it the other day, all it would take is “one cough, one sneeze, one drop of saliva, and the virus is loose”.
How many travel in and out of America each day or illegally cross our borders. Are they all accounted for. No even close. You’re right, danger whatsoever. But for the record, I absolutely pray it does no further and is contained.
Likely the deniers are on someone’s payroll to be here in the first place. Graduates of the ‘fight the lies’ Obama campaign Nazis.
Who knew that we had an Ebola Treatment Center? Oh, wait, we don't! The Dr. is being treated at a hospital in Atlanta. The Ebola treatment center is in Africa. Oh well, what could possibly go wrong?
Ebola may not be transmitted by air but it certainly can reach our shores by jet ski.
Oh! We have a top Ebola center too! That's wonderful! Where are our lesser Ebola centers and why don't we get this Dr. moved out of the non-descript hospital and into the Top Ebola center right away?
A pox on you crass knave..... ;)
The monkey’s infection came from a small sample stored in extreme cold under armed guard in a vault designed for containment. The monkey, after use, was incinerated to ensure nothing got out.
That’s rather different from someone walking in infected and, we hope (!), walking out.
We’re not treating the guy like a disposable monkey.
Ebola is no more airborne than AIDS..... I have done my own research. I don’t go around making up silly stuff to scare people
You think he was just taken to a hospital? You didn’t know that he was taken to a special isolation unit?
Libs should worry what happens to them when the USA looks like the Walking a Dead. At that point there will be a bounty on them, which we will fill with joy. (Sorry to be so morbid, but.....)
Reap what ye shall sow, lefties. It’s coming.
Ebola is transmitted by air- That is, if we are foolish enough to have ebola infected persons continue to fly into the US. The disease vector will be a Boeing 767.

How DARE you ruin a perfectly good fear spreading thread such as this!
OFF WITH YOUR HEAD! :)
You seem serious, you really do think this special case is over our heads.
Anyone that concerned should be more concerned about the Ebola patients that will show up randomly, not the controlled conditions that the Ebola doctor is under.
“OK, now please turn your head and cough blood.
“You think you’re bleeding-out?
“Well let’s let the doctor be the judge of that, shall we? “Next, these testicles are coming off I’m afraid.”
Who knows. Some people just like being contrarians. Some like being know-it-alls. It is natural to be concerned about the spread of this disease. The odds of survival aren’t the best, and even if one survives, there may be long term implications.
I doubt most I hear from the MSM. The Cloward-Piven strategy to crash government entitlements under the weight of demands (illegal immigrants and expanded eligibility for citizens) at the same time as a pandemic would be the perfect storm to stir up public unrest and give leftists the excuse for martial law, suspension of elections and totalitarian government control.
How much Ebola is in the United States and Canada?
How many researchers, in how many locations, for how many years, and with how many monkeys?
The monkeys are in a level 4 biohazard facility.
Emory is only a level 2.
Level 3&4 at Emory are only mock-ups for training purposes.
