Yes, make western Africa an isolation ward. Shoot down all planes attempting to fly out, sink all ships attempting to flee, and blow up all land vehicles attempting to leave the isolation ward.
I think Americans need to pay attention to this.
Get prepared. Everyone, take basic preparations for supporting yourself, for some amount of time.
Just saying. I think that’s always a good idea, but I think it’s important at the moment.
sadly I don’t think that’s what he meant. I see him putting our military in harms way to rescue people.
IMO this verifies the man’s hatred for our military. I hope somebody stops him from acting on such stupidity as to put our military in such a position to be wiped out by that Ebola virus.
IF Doctors want to risk their lives to help fight the virus in Africa, then let them, but don’t even think about commanding our military to fight a disease. They are trained to fight the enemies of our homeland armed with guns, and other traditional mechanisms of war. Doctors, nurses, etc. should volunteer IF THEY WISH TO TAKE THE RISK. Otherwise isolate that Nation, that area until their isn’t anymore risk of spread of that disease, or whatever it is.
My heart goes out to those people, but we can’t allow the rest of the World to perish when we can attempt to isolate the disease to a specific place on the face of the planet.
Actually I'm not sure that would suffice. Some cases would get smuggled past whatever red lines Obama would draw. History proves it is very hard to completely stop motivated smuggling. However there is a truly military tactic that would work, that is clinically well tested and based on sound epidemiologic principals. It has defeated worse infectious agents than Ebola. And it is quite simple: if one member of the herd is infected, you kill the entire exposed herd. There are numerous successful veterinary examples. The science is the same with human animals. Any differences are purely ethical and moral; we all know how much those mean to Obama. It would be just like really late abortions. When Bush was president the UK killed over 10M in '2001 and more in '2007 to clear Foot and Mouth. Neither the breed, nor even the species, of those susceptible and exposed mattered. So the identity of the targets of this Ebola solution shouldn't matter to Obama, just the greater good of ending the epidemic. Just page 'Doctor LeMay.'
