They’ll get it under control. Nigeria did.

Obama will go beserk.

Let him.

“Governors typically declare a state of emergency after a natural disaster. “

All the Administration’s disasters come naturally for them.

[Sequoyah101]

IDIOTS!!!!!

“not being actively monitored by state or federal health officials”

[tcrlaf]

They are already spending millions on this. And it is going to cot them millions and millions more.

A disaster declaration means that they get 80% refunded by the feds.

That said, if Perry formally asks for a Disaster declaration for this OBAMA-MADE DISASTER, the lib media will likely go nuts.

[Slyfox]

The dems need a Republican to help them out?

Typical.

[Mygirlsmom]

No word on the first nurse’s boyfriend? I thought he was hospitalized with symptoms too.

I believe that the Sovereign Republic of Texas will be able to weather this storm and could resume foreign trade with nearby nations, such as the United States, in a relatively short time.

Extremely low risk to state of emergency in 10 days - wowzer

[Yossarian]

[familyop]

Stop all air and ground traffic from Texas!

[CincyRichieRich]

I believe if Perry does then 0bola will declare martial law which is what I believe was intended in the first place...and not just to stop the national election but to destroy Texas as well.

[randita]

I give it a day or two before libs like Sheila Jackson Lee demand that the November election be postponed because people are afraid to go to the polls.

[Inyo-Mono]

Hospital staffers were not expected to be at risk of contracting the virus and were not being actively monitored by state or federal health officials. One of the nurses also took a flight into a Dallas airport just hours before she was diagnosed

Huh?

[RegulatorCountry]

Might want to review the fine print on declaring a state of emergency. Certain individual rights could be restricted or curtailed. Not saying it wouldn’t be beneficial or that it’s not necessary, just that some aspects will be objectionable to conservatives.

“This is the first time that our nation has had to deal with a threat such as this," Perry said in a statement Wednesday.
