CDC Chief: US Won't 'Seal Borders' Against Ebola
Newser ^ | August 3 2014 | Polly Davis Doig

Posted on 08/03/2014 1:38:28 PM PDT by PoloSec

(Newser) – The US is treating the American doctor who contracted Ebola, and isn't about to turn tail on the virus. "Ebola’s scary, and it’s understandable that with a deadly disease, people are concerned," says CDC director Tom Frieden, but for those who would have us turn victims away, "the plain truth is, we can stop Ebola. We know how to control it. We’re not going to hermetically seal the borders of the US. We’re reliant and interdependent with the world for travel, for trade, for the economy, for our families and communities." Frieden tells ABC, via Politico, that the CDC is sending 50 staffers to West Africa because, he says, "The single most important thing we can do to protect Americans is to stop this disease at the source in Africa."

Ebola will decimate Obama supporters

No, not any more than the population at large. Do you think Obama supporters will go out of their way to help or meet infected travelers? No, that's someone else's job.

This may amount to preaching to the choir, but...
About the border...
This entire thing was ENGINEERED by obozo and his mendacious “Never let a crisis go to waste” minions to serve multiple New World Order mandates:
1. Flood the country with thousands of NEW almost certainly welfare conditioned LEFTIST DEMOCRAT (but I repeat myself) voters, making it unlikely or IMPOSSIBLE for another party to win a national election. Why do you think obozo and holder are fighting tooth and nail to prevent states from requiring POSITIVE PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP on election day?
2. Fulfill the prime goal of the Cloward-Piven plan to further drain the already empty treasury and COLLAPSE the welfare and related systems and engender anger and push-back from the shrinking minority of generally older Americans who STILL understand and appreciate the system the Founders strove to leave us now being destroyed by this gang of criminals now in the highest levels of this government.
3. If the aforementioned “push-back” should escalate into violence against these criminals, the millions around us who — thanks largely to the media and government schools — don’t have a clue concerning what we’re about to lose will cry out for “somebody do something and restore law and order”. And we’ll get ORDER in the form of martial law. But there will be NO LAW except that which our new masters will then impose on ALL of us.
And for those who believe that American troops would never fire on fellow citizens, go here http://www.29palmssurvey.com/survey.html and here http://misguidedchildren.com/homeland-security/2013/12/would-29-palms-marines-shoot-americans-survey/7617. Don’t know about you, but I don’t recall seeing much at the time on ABC, CBS, NBC, et al.
While that action would be a clear violation of Posse Comitatus (the suspension of which was supported by then GOP Senator John Warner), who says these would be U.S. troops?? Think about facing FOREIGN TROOPS — being trained here all the time — on YOUR street. The Soviets used foreign troops to crush the Czech, Hungarian and other revolts back in the day.

This is classic Hegelian Dialectic (go here http://www.naturalnews.com/023727_power_government_butter.htm if you’re unfamiliar with that term). These criminals have been employing Herr Hegel’s technique for decades. For another example, think GLOBAL WARMING!

One parting point. If you think I’m paranoid, please remember that it’s NOT paranoia IF THEY’RE REALLY TRYING TO GET YOU.

As you all breathe a collective sigh of relief, I’ll shut up and suggest you watch this short video at the link below.

This will make your blood boil....
..... “we” the people are in real trouble!

“We’re not going to hermetically seal the borders of the US.”

That’s obvious, borders not sealed against anything, illegals, drugs, terrorists, tuberculosis, nukes, what difference can a little e-bola make?

If this was a disease that originated among TEA party members, the CDC would order every blue state to be locked down immediately and kept locked down until each and every one of them was bankrupt and empty.


POST OF THE DAY RIGHT HERE FOLKS!!!!!

“At the top of our newscast tonight, we have just found out that there is a contagious disease originating in some political groups of Americans, especially the so called Tea Party voters. Governors and mayors across the country are being asked to set aside stadiums and unused county facilities as temporary holding facilities for anyone known to vote conservative, tea party, Republican, or even libertarian, or have been in the presence of those who do. If you know someone who might have been exposed, call the number flashing on your screen.”

There is the mutation factor of any virus. How hot can it get and how fast can it kill.

The only thing the US *might* ever seal borders for is to keep the producers locked in.

Word Crimes. Puss is a cat. The infectious creamy substance is pus.

I believe Ebola would be easier to catch than aids because aids needs more than just a mucus membrane to get into the body; HIV enters through cuts or abrasions. Ebola can get in through the nose or mouth or eye - sounds like even droplets. Therefore it can be spread by a sneeze or cough.

So which is it?

Yeah, I saw Dr. Richard Besser on World News Tonight saying the same thing.
Paraphrasing, 'It's safe to sit next to an infected person on the plane, his/her coughs and sneezes don't carry the virus.'
HELLOOOO! water droplets in the sneeze? Unusual precautions taken by treating Dr.s.
Idiots.

There has never been a case of Ebola in the U S. Just wait until a case shows up.
Bet it 'hits the fan' via the public.

Are you in any way medically educated or work in the field?

I don’t deny the threats to the general public that this disease poses.

Some groups will be at most risk than others based on their high risk behaviors. Fluid to fluid contact....folks may find themselves in the middle of a conflagration before the fire department gets called.

You know how AIDS is spread in this country, and we have increasing rates of infection because the younger homosexuals have abandoned all precautions or are deliberately trying to infect themselves! If we are having trouble contending with the infantry....what shall we do when the horsemen arrive?

(so some one with apparently no clue, existing in a normalcy bias, goes around telling folks to get a clue...see ya in my ICU!)

When a person sneezes there are particles in the air for up to 24 hours. That’s one way to spreads.
