Tom Frieden is obviously incompetent, perhaps corrupt and maybe even mentally ill. He should be fired immediately.

Obama seems to attract folks just like himself.

Our country can NOT take 2 more years of this nonsense.

CDC director: Travel ban could make Ebola outbreak worse

BS. Lies. BS. And More Lies. Treason is what it is. Waging war against the people of the USA.

Tom Frieden has spent a bit of time at the heart of the epidemic over the last two months; he has seen a plague of biblical proportions first hand. He has looked at the outputs from the models, and understands one thing that has likely pushed him to the edge of madness-- if we don't stop this NOW in Africa, and there are a million cases by the end of winter as the models predict, there is NOTHING that will stop this from becoming a global pandemic that will significantly depopulate every continent on earth at a scale we have not seen since 1918. Main effort number one is in the hands of GEN Rodriguez, someone who in my personal experience was an admirable commander at his last post in FORSCOM. His task is to build seventeen 100 bed isolation centers in Liberia and Sierra Leone in the next few weeks so doctors can stop sending patients home to spread the virus further, and instead be isolated and cared for, while also setting up training centers to instruct people how to isolate themselves at home and train replacement medical personnel.

Frieden probably hasn't slept for weeks, he has likely thought about all of the options-- stopping travel to the US is probably not the highest priority, because of the gravity of what is happening in Africa, and what that will cause to the US next year if we fail. He knows the corruption in Africa, and that trying to stop visas will just lead to a massive exodus under false papers to nearby countries spreading the disease further. He knows that we can shut down air travel one way, but the airlines need nearly every seat full both ways to make their break-even and when it's no longer profitable they will stop all flights both ways. This will prevent sustainment of the main effort and precipitate a mad rush out, to neighboring countries so far not affected by the outbreak, and beyond, to Europe and the middle east. I understand how poorly the reality of the gravity of this situation is communicated, and yes they look like reckless idiots with no concern for the US, but the knee jerk reaction to assume that they are evil and trying to destroy the US may be inaccurate. This is a complex problem, and for every action there are predictable second and third order effects-- what seems like a simple solution may have unintended consequences that could be catastrophic. These folks are in the fight of their lives, and they don't have time for informative dialog with the public to spoon feed us all of the trade offs in the decision making process. Some of the administration's leadership are idiots, or arrogant oafs, but I think Frieden and GEN Rodriguez are truly trying to do the best they can in a very difficult situation. Donning asbestos suit now...

So, if it is so safe, maybe the CDC director would like to serve as a greeter shaking hands with each new arrival at the JFK or Atlanta international terminal.

Just wait until flu season hits to see what a completely paralyzed nation that battens down the barricades REALLY looks like as millions have symptoms that are much like how Eboli starts off! And thank you, President Obola for your “fundamental transformation” when flu season hits! Oh, and PLEASE let’s keep those West African shuttles flying back and forth, since obviously it would do no good anyway with your open borders policy. Oh, and everyone? Be sure to vote a straight Democrat ticket in November: they really DO care about you folks, ya’ll hear? After all:

“Now, I am not on the ballot this fall,” Obama stressed. “... But make no mistake: My policies are on the ballot — every single one of them.” (Including unrestricted West African air flights.)
