Secretary of Health and Human Services Sylvia Burwell said that despite the best efforts of health officials, Americans have to prepare for the reality that there may be more cases of Ebola in the United States.

“We had one case and I think there may be other cases, and I think we have to recognize that as a nation,” Burwell said at a media breakfast hosted by the journal Health Affairs and held at the Washington, D.C. offices of the Kaiser Family Foundation.
Burwell’s comments come as screening of travelers from Ebola-affected countries in West Africa has been stepped up at U.S. airports. On Wednesday, the first patient diagnosed with the virus on U.S. soil died in Texas.

She expressed confidence in the screening process that has already been in place in travelers' departure cities, but acknowledged that no such system is 100 percent.

They want it here. There can be no other explanation.
He is wrong. It is impossible for ‘Obola’ to spread in this country! Just another fear monger! FR’s own ‘Obola’ experts will be along shortly to explain just how wrong he is.
But they told us there was nothing to worry about! not to panic they said! It’s not easily spread, they told us!
You mean the government is full of a$$holes!?
“....Virus expert Charles L. Bailey, who in 1989 helped the American government tackle an outbreak of Ebola among rhesus monkeys being used for research, told the LA Times: ‘We know for a fact that the virus occurs in sputum and no one has ever done a study [disproving that] coughing or sneezing is a viable means of transmitting.....”

“.....Dr. C.J. Peters, who battled a 1989 outbreak of the virus among research monkeys housed in Virginia and who later led the CDC’s most far-reaching study of Ebola’s transmissibility in humans, said he would not rule out the possibility that it spreads through the air in tight quarters.
“We just don’t have the data to exclude it,” said Peters, who continues to research viral diseases at the University of Texas in Galveston........”
Nope. Just crony liars who are bought and paid for. Look for wealthy Western African elites who have been greasing the Oligarchy’s palms.
My thoughts EXACTLY. If we have an epidemic HERE it will bring "awareness" to the prblems in Africa along with money and billions to the continent to get them moderized. It's effectively going to be a wealth shift.
Apt response. Sure glad they finally warned us of what they are up to. MAYBE others, MAYBE???
As long as there’s an out of control fire of Ebola in Africa and as long as we don’t shut our borders it’s inevitable that Ebola will be here. And it’s inevitable that it will blaze out of control somewhere.
New Jersey Customs Agent: We’re Not Prepared for Ebola
Yeh if you continue to let Liberians fly into the country everday. The inmates are now running the asylum.
UK: “The Government is expected to announce that some screening will be brought in at British airports after the US began monitoring temperatures at the border.
The Department of Health said an update to current procedures would be given this afternoon.
Today George Osborne, the Chancellor, said travellers entering the UK would be tested for Ebola if medical experts say it is necessary. ..............
........ Prof Piot, a director of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said he never believed an Ebola outbreak could have become so deadly.
“We will see other cases in Europe, this is unavoidable,” he told BBC Breakfast. “People travel, people come back, people get infected in west Africa - volunteers. So we need to be prepared for more cases like this.”........
This is just one more lying, incompetent Democrat official playing the protect your ass game.
She said there may be other cases.
Now if there is an outbreak she can say “see I was right.”
Does the CDC know people LIVED AND WORKED in German Concentration camps before being murdered and they DIDN'T panic?
Panic is the crap you see in Hollywood movies... and it's a stupid excuse puffed up bureaucrats use to excuse their lying.
Tell the truth CDC and Obama liars... try something different.
I’ll be downright shocked if members of Duncan’s family don’t come down with ebola.
