I posted an article yesterday that false negative readings for Ebola tests were quite common, even in people showing advanced symptoms of the disease.

From the hospital's point of view, this is more of a PR problem than a medical one: Do you really want to announce that a patient in NYC has tested positive?

You'd have a real panic on your hands.

Better to just announce that everything is ok (and my gosh that was awfully quick) and then try to put in place a plan for when you will have to announce a positive case.

Because it will happen. And soon.

Exactly. Keep the public in the dark. They’ll just panic.

Also, how can Dems not secure our border and allow in the ‘children’ by the thousands when Ebola is on the loose? 21 day incubation period is plenty of time to travel to Mexico and then into the U.S.

Imagine just 20 purposefully infected people going to 20 major U.S. cities. ISIS has how many hundreds of millions of dollars in oil money to spend?

Now more than ever we need to control or borders.

Instead, it’s a joke.
