The executive director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons states that restricted entry to the United States will be necessary to stop the spread of the deadly Ebola virus.
“The potential for devastating loss of life is real,” wrote Dr. Jane M. Orient on the website of AAPS. “The disease must be stopped before there are millions of persons exposed instead of 100.”
Orient said that restricting entry to the United States means that travelers from areas affected by Ebola must be “carefully screened and quarantined when indicated.”
Additionally, she warned that to contain the spread of Ebola, the United States must observe a high degree of suspicion, including a “travel and exposure history” for patients with fever and other symptoms, precautionary isolation, and careful contact tracing so that at-risk individuals are “identified, notified, monitored, and isolated as needed.”
Orient said that hospital personnel must all be trained with adequate supplies of protective gear and have a high degree of alertness for signs of the deadly disease.
“We need hard-headed realism, not complacent reassurance,” Orient wrote.
“President Obama said: ‘It will require an air bridge to get health workers and medical supplies to areas that are affected,’” she noted. “Meanwhile, the virus has used the air bridge of a commercial flight to reach Dallas. So far, only the index patient is ill, but 100 contacts are being observed.”
Orient questioned how so many experts can say that the chance of a widespread outbreak is “vanishingly small” due to our “highly sophisticated public health system,” when the U.S. has already experienced a number of breaches in our stronghold, first and foremost the fact that the hospital treating the symptomatic patient from Liberia failed to follow federal guidelines. Rather than being placed in isolation, the patient was sent home...

Our government will save us. When they’re done, I’d like them to come over and train my dog to not poop.
It doesn’t seem to me that stopping the spread is the goal of this government at all.
It seems like they want to provide logistical support to the virus to be perfectly honest.
Obama consistently provides help to whatever is trying to kill us.
Dr. Orient is not following the accepted script. I wonder what steps are now being taken to make sure that she gets back on the approved message?
Yes this is what we all know, only logical answer. Which makes it harder to stop.
“No no, we can’t secure the borders. We need all those potential Democrat voters to keep us in power!”
The one on the right is just an invasive DEADLY virus
I know Dr. Orient. Good luck with getting her to follow anyone’s script, let alone Obama.
Hummmmm ... This is not a comforting statement. Wonder how long before a strongly worded letter goes out to Dr. Jane M. Orient or will zer0 and his minions take stronger actions against the Doctor?
Obama lies!
Good for her. We need leaders who will not be part of the Obama propaganda machine.
Obama is a jihadist and he is terrorizing the American people. Additionally, this is what a passive-aggressive personality does, when they are no longer able to charm, their mental illness is unable to be concealed, then they don’t even bother.
She is most likely in re-education camp right now.
Congrats to Dr. Orient.
Refreshing to hear a trained professional with some common sense speak out against the idiot in the WH and the other ones he’s surrounded himself with.
Section 1182 (f) of the Immigration and Naturalization Act gives the president this power, which the Obama administration has refused to use even as Ebola threatens Americans. The law states:
Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.
This means that Obama could, in the time it takes to write out a few paragraphs, stop the flow of people into American communities who have been exposed to Ebola in West Africa.
BTTT!
