Ebola Today: 357 People Monitored in NYC; Obama Asks Congress for $6B to Stop Ebola
Boston Globe ^ | November 6, 2014 | By Chelsea Rice

Posted on 11/06/2014 10:12:31 AM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

So how is NYC handling Ebola? Throughout New York City, health officials announced that 357 individuals are being actively monitored, representing travelers from Ebola afflicted countries as well as hospital staff who cared for the latest Ebola patient, Dr. Craig Spencer, at Bellevue Hospital.

In a letter to Congress Thursday afternoon, President Obama asked representatives to approve $6.18 billion emergency appropriations request for the 2015 fiscal year to develop a comprehensive strategy to contain and end the Ebola outbreak. This request mirrors the appeal to Congress in 2009 to combat the H1N1 flu outbreak.

AMAZING that this comes out AFTER the election. Thankfully, it didn’t matter. The media is so corrupt, as is the CDC.

We don’t have to worry about a terrorist bringing in Ebola. We already have one in the WH willing to do the job.

Obola will keep the borders open and import infected West Africans into the US for treatment. That’s how he’ll spend the $6B.

Even if Obola signed a border security bill, he would do nothing to secure the border; he would just import more infected illegals and criminal illegals.

The best way to fight ebola is to lock the borders so no one comes in from an affected country. Then there would be no need to spend 6 billion of our dollars.

There is already a program formed expressly to fight ebola and other like diseases. It was set up by VP Cheney. And it received 5.6 billion to do it's job.

When Obama became president he absconded with the money and it went to his pet projects like Solyndra.

So, he don't need no more stinking money. He needs to come clean with the money he stole from the Cheney program.

No Money! I haven’t read a thing about Ebola in the past two weeks. That means the problem has been resolved - right Obama?!?

If there is no Ebola problem...then there will be NO money. Period.

“STOP LETTING THEM IN!!!! NO MONEY NEEDED FOR THAT!!”

You see, you see, that is just the knew jerk reaction of people who do not have access to higher levels of thinking and wisdom that Obama revels in daily. If there is no Ebola in the United States, he won’t be able to go before the cameras and teleprompter and let the nation see how much he hurts about it all and how his leadership will fix everything. Obama has been patient.

You can count on it....that’s why Obama is asking for more...he’s already dumped the first round.

Yesterday I went to the hospital for my weekly physical therapy (I'm recovering from leg surgery). The therapist said there are two new questions I will have to answer first thing when I check in: Have I been to a country where there's Ebola? Have I had contact with anyone who's been in a country where there's Ebola?

A friend noted that I have to answer yes because the USA is a country that has Ebola. I've not only been in it, but have contact with people who also have been in it.
