Preparing the populace?
It’s evolution, baby.
Will it be covered under Obamacare ?
Was in Italy recently and I was told there is Ebola breaking out theer from mostly their illegals. Their tourism departments try and keep this outbreak quiet, but the Italians all know. I suspect the same thing is happening with us.
“but any outbreak is not likely to be large, US health authorities said Thursday”
It will be big enough to those that die from, or that die in the mass panic that follows.
But, it’s ok. It’s just too politically-incorrect to close that border. It might cost a Democrat a vote, and what are a few dead peones, anyway? The “important” people will be sure they get their Ebola vaccine.
Hopefully it will hit hardest in the “Progressive” areas.
People have known that for a while. Which doesn’t mean this outbreak, or even the next, but eventually one of these outbreaks is going to spread here.
Hey, good thing Obama closed the White House to visitors.

With the help of the CDC in white neighborhoods of course...
I only hope they are held accountable for what they are bringing on this country.
Notice how flippant they are? People will die. I guess instead of closing down travel, they figger some of us are expendable for the sake of global air traffic.
Throw these bums out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought that we weren’t supposed to worry? Liars.
Ping...
We’ll stop it at the border.......right?
Holy Monkey meat! what ever shall we do?
Probably will. Most pandemics hit the cities the hardest, since there is a great deal more person to person contact there.
No No. Didn't you read their statement. They have no intention of stopping it at the border. It's "inevitable". They'd have to change the nature of international travel and they just won't do that.
