So, the irony of Government in America (Vanity)

Okay, so here's the irony of the government in America...

1) The government claims to save money by not enacting travel restrictions from the ebola hot zone, yet the total treatment cost for the American ebola patients and Liberian national numbers in the millions and counting, unless the New York doctor case is the last one. Also, the possibility exists that people will not want to be in public as much thanks to fear of ebola infectees walking around in public?

2) The CDC claims it is so noncontagious, but shouldn't people take precautions such as banning possibly ebola infectees from giving blood? First Aid training would tell you that for Hepatitis, HIV, and numerous diseases, blood is a top-notch danger carrying large concentrations of pathogen.

3) America claims power via precise airstrikes, but yet ISIS makes advances despite the supposedly awesome power of UAV hellfire missiles and airstrikes. Do airborne weapons actually hit their targets?

4) Tell us that we're safe, yet the Medical Research wastes money on rediculous politically biased pet projects.

5) Tell us that their approval is great and moral, yet for someone backing a marriage, they operate on debt that would fail a business in the private sector by virtue of debt, and operate with a work ethic which would make it almost impossible for someone to find work in the private sector, etc. Say what you wish, but that doesn't sound exemplary to me.

I don’t think “irony” is the proper word.

I’d like to see just one of the hospital bills and/or accounts that have resulted in treatment of one of the Ebola patients. It will never happen.

“Wash your hands” - the nurse caught it because she violated the [ooga booga] protocol (later admitted to being inadequate - also never having been proven that any of it was ‘written’ to start with).

We “quarantined them” but other cases appear. He passed “enhanced [ooga booga] screening” yet took a subway to the hospital where testing confirmed he had it. But never fear, “We have the best healthcare in this City in the WORLD!” Yet they are looking for possible contacts he made so they can ‘monitor’ them.

There are two words here. They are either collectively LYING, or they are collectively STUPID (incompetent). Take your pick, the end answer speaks volumes.

Actually, that T shirt could explain a lot. Aren’t the CDC head and the NIH head doctors who can write prescriptions like “House?”

If House M.D., has an Ebola episode, I would love to see it!

On this point, anyone who has travelled to West Africa has long been banned from donating blood for at least a year after travel, because it is a high-risk malaria region.
