Under Pressure, Cuomo Loosens Policy for Ebola Quarantines in New York
NY Times ^ | 10/26/14 | MARC SANTORA and MICHAEL D. SHEAR

Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo on Sunday night outlined New York State’s mandatory quarantine policy for health care workers returning from West African nations with Ebola outbreaks , bringing the state closer into line with federal protocols and marking a significant break with the way the policy has been carried out in New Jersey.

The announcement comes after the Obama administration pressed New York to revise its order, issued only two days ago in a joint press conference with New Jersey’s governor, Chris Christie.

Cuomo, a good little lap dog for Obama. Lick his hand gratefully, Andrew.

So was he putting politics ahead of health care then, or now? Either admit to basing infectious disease prevention policy on hysteria and public opinion then, or putting the public at risk for politics now. Which is it?

“The problem here is, this hero, coming back from the front having done the right things, was treated with disrespect,” Mr. de Blasio said. “We have to think how we treat the people who are doing this noble work,” he said. “We owe her better than that.”

Insanity. She owes Americans protection from disease.

Have a son who is keen on joining the military and I’m from a proud military fam. I’m discouraging him from joining at this point unless things change. Truly frightening.

Give her a big hug de Blasio. Walk the talk. Show how strongly you believe she is no danger to the public. If anyone else is infected because of your spineless decision, you need to be criminally prosecuted.

Blackmail. Cuomo didn’t want a Dept of Justice investigation into all of the corruption right before the election.

Snatching a pandemic from the jaws of a quarantine...

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

Cuomo has aspirations for higher office. It behooves him not to piss off the money people in the DNC.

Is this the doing of RON KLAIN the Ebola Czar?
The Ebola Supremo?
The Ebola El Exigente?
The Ebola Honcho?
The Ebola Master of the Universe?

Christie will probably follow suit once he’s finished eating his pizzas.

The bitch has a Facebook page

Maybe with all the publicity her dream will become a reality and she will meet a liberal doctor who can deal with her narcissist tendencies. For a while.

Cuomo must have gotten a talking to by his masters in the White House.
