Ohio Woman Being Tested for Ebola
ABC News ^ | 8/5/14 | Sydney Lupkin

Good thing Obama brought that disease to the USA; he couldn’t stand to see the rest of the world getting it and not the US.

No, that wouldn’t be fair under the warped liberal code of fairness.

Definitely good news, plus quick test results. Which should make us wonder what is going on in NYC at Mount Sunai hospital. It has been at least four days and not a peep on the condition or results.

Maybe if there were to be an Ebola outbreak at the White House and in Congress, they would stop all travel to and from West African countries, and secure our borders, or if they all died, people with a little sense could step in and do it.

I suspect that's what it would take.

If there is ebola testing is done in the USA, I would prefer that it be done at the White House.

I imagine anyone who has been to Africa recently and who feels the slightest bit sick is going to get themselves tested out of an abundance of precaution.

One of the medical centers who have agreed to take Ebola patients on FB posted and exclaiming this is the best explanation of Ebola to date..it’s not airborne and stuff like that. I questioned the article and asked why did the staff have hazmats and respirators on? I was curtly told if I read the article I’d understand. I retread the article and I still don’t understand. I than looked to see who wrote the article and it was a person who wrote for Mother Jones!
