“This outbreak is the result of incompetence and ideology.”
Exactly. The incompetence is theirs alone (and it’s tremendous) but the ideology seems to be shared by all our “betters” who are running this country.
I’m pretty sure Bush would have hesitated to impose a travel ban too, at least up until now.
I’m also pretty sure that eventually they will impose a travel ban, but will it be too late?
Why are we supposed to devote ridiculous amounts of our health care resources so that people from Liberia, etc. can come here, to do what? Take a vacation? Visit their families? Sorry, you all are going to have to postpone those plans.
The idea that you can screen anyone for a disease that has a 3 week incubation period is moronic. I don’t think you have to be a doctor to understand that.
Maybe they are fooling themselves, but they are not fooling anyone else.
They should stop issuing visas to nationals from the hot zone and revoke all the visas that have already been issued.
Institute a 30 day quarantine for anyone who is coming out of the hot zone.
This is so easy, but once again incompetence and ideology trump common sense, which seems to be in short supply among the ruling classes.
If this virus gets loose in the general population it will affect Holder's people and President Obola's son's in disproportionate numbers. Elections have consequences and the people of the US are suffering the consequences of the last two presidential elections. Elect a fool and you get a foolish government.
