There is no reason that a sick American doctor cannot be flown here and treated under the most advanced conditions on earth

That is certainly true.

There are 4 centers in the United States that have isolation facilities capable of safely treating Ebola patients. Perhaps there are 2 other classified military installations. At most we can accommodate a dozen patients at one time.

We have reportedly sent 3000 men into the hot zone to render assistance to the local Governments. If 40-60 of them come down with Ebola, there will be no place to return them.

We can treat patients at the highest facilities we have, we can expand them, and then we can set up what we need, for instance we have 20 isolation centers in the United States, and I haven’t seen the figure that 12 is the most that we can treat at once in those 4 super centers.

In your fantasy and one which the terrorists would love to be true, we are close to helpless against infectious disease, and without the means to deal with them.

According to you, our problems with Ebola are going to originate from our 4 special treatment clinics built for this purpose, have you decided that wasn’t rational, or are you still pushing that claim?

Sorry flamberge, it wasn’t you that was claiming that Ebola is going to reach the public through one of the 4 super clinics, it was Secret Agent Man.

The Nebraska facility was built as already a 10 bed treatment center.
