NYT: White House Pressures States to Reverse Mandatory Ebola Quarantine Orders (Hickox to sue)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3219787/posts
NYT: The [B. Insane Ebola] administration has been pushing the governors of New York and New Jersey to reverse their decision ordering all medical workers returning from West Africa who had contact with Ebola patients to be quarantined, an administration official said. But on Sunday both governors, Andrew M. Cuomo of New York and Chris Christie of New Jersey, stood by their decision saying that the federal guidelines did not go far enough... [snip]

Top NIH official slams Ebola quarantines (will “disincentivize” healthcare volunteers)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3219703/posts
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, warned that overly aggressive quarantines could make healthcare workers “very, very uncomfortable” and discourage them from volunteering... [snip]

My two cents:
We could give them medals, honor them with pardes, and things like that.
0 hasn’t done much of that yet to encourage brave healthcare workers has he? The only notable thing was the photo-op hug ‘for the cameras’.
Since there hasn’t already been wide publicity to boost morale of these heroes, they have no leg to stand on.
More importantly, Africa’s safe border policy is the top success story so far. Viruses have been a tough nut to crack. Can we afford to gamble on US health with a MUTATING virus? It’s not our fault that President Ebola was unprepared.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3219896/posts
At least 13 men from Africa with terrorist-related records illegally entered Canada from the U.S. since 2010, according to a leaked Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Intelligence Information Report exclusively obtained by Breitbart Texas. The data pertains only to one small region of the vast U.S.-Canadian border. The report reveals that as of September 9, 2014, there have been 155 encounters in the area “involving 344 ethnic Somalis ... “ [snip]

Mali rushes to track Ebola after toddler dies [or be Africa’s Nation 6]
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3219849/posts
After 2-year-old Fanta Kone’s father died in southern Guinea, the toddler’s grandmother took her from the forested hills where the Ebola outbreak first began months ago to bring her home to Mali. It wasn’t long, though, before the little girl started getting nosebleeds. By the time the pair made their way back more than 600 miles to the heat-baked town of Kayes several days later, the toddler had a high fever and was vomiting blood. Doctors swiftly diagnosed Fanta with Ebola, but she soon succumbed to the virus ... [snip]

MSNBC Host Krystal Ball Silent On Her Involvement In ‘Stop Rush’ Pressure Campaign
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3219923/posts
MSNBC host Krystal Ball refuses to talk about her participation in the “Stop Rush” campaign targeting conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh’s advertisers. Ball secretly participated in the Stop Rush movement since becoming affiliated with MSNBC, emails reveal. But Ball did not respond to The Daily Caller’s emailed request for comment on her participation in the activist effort. “Stop Rush” is a campaign principally organized by Angelo Carusone, who is now a Media Matters executive vice president embroiled in controversy after TheDC published racist and anti-Semitic blog posts that he wrote. TheDC recently exposed the latest incarnation of the Stop Rush... [snip]

‘60 Minutes’ Just Broke New Details On The Dallas Ebola Case. Here’s What They Revealed.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3219909/posts
[Starts off with how Duncan/Patient 0 misled them, vague about where in Africa he came from ...] After Duncan was re-admitted to the hospital three days later, significantly sicker, the hospital suspected Ebola might be the cause. But even then, Duncan wasn’t wholly honest. He said he hadn’t been exposed to anyone who was sick from Ebola, even though later reports revealed that Duncan had bravely helped carry an Ebola-infected woman to a local hospital in Liberia...
...Duncan’s vomit and diarrhea also presented logistical challenges; it was all hazardous waste, because anything with Duncan’s bodily fluids could infect someone else. And he was producing an unbelievable amount of it.
“I’ve been in health care for nearly 20 years,” ICU nurse John Mulligan told 60 Minutes, “and I’ve never emptied as much trash as just from the waste of his constant diarrhea.” ...
[God bless those nurses!]

Duncan also told a nurse that he’d buried his daughter who died in childbirth — but he said that she hadn’t died from Ebola. Duncan later denied the story to federal officials.
