CDC Spokesman Dave Daigle stated that the US would not be preventing flights from countries with massive outbreaks of the Ebola virus from coming in to the United States, despite seemingly admitting that the case of Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan showed that airport screening cannot catch every case of Ebola on CNN’s “OutFront” on Wednesday.
*******
He also stated that he was unaware of a report from The New York Times that Duncan had come into contact with a pregnant woman who later fell ill and died, and also did not know Duncan’s flight history.

Political Correctness is going to kill millions.
This is all coming from the top down ... from the Whitehouse to teach us a lesson.
Obama is a dangerous man.
A comment I found elsewhere:
According to his Facebook page and other reports, Duncan is a 40-something, single, unemployed Liberian living in Ghana who applied sometime in the last year for a visa to visit his sister in the United States. It was reportedly his first time visiting this country.
That is six strikes against his application:
Single
Unemployed
Liberian (5th highest overstay rate of any country in the world)
Living outside country of citizenship
First time traveler to the United States
Sister living in the United States.
Together, all these factors should have weighed very heavily against the issuance of a visitor’s visa to Duncan. He clearly appears unqualified.

I wonder if this started in Israel, how soon all flights would be banned.....3..2..1.
But yet we have sent over 1000 troops there to stop it. As always, the easiest thing to do, we don’t do.
Shut down flights from Africa.
This is a big deal.
Start acting in America’s interests Obama.
The Israelis would have already found a cure.
This is naked biowarfare against the American people.
One disease after another, but the EXEMPT do NOTHING
except enrich themselves.
Okay people when are we going to get serious? Will we just allow this to happen? This gross negligence could possibly be endangering millions of lives. WHAT are we going to do besides moan and groan? WHAT can we do? This is BS!
It has gotten to the point where I cannot believe a word anyone from the Federal Government says. Every day the Obama Administration sends out paid liars to tell lies to the American People and Congress and it has gone beyond the breaking point. Whatever this guy says is BS. Whatever anyone from the government tells you is BS. Don’t believe a word of it. If they say you are safe, then you’d better assume that the grim reaper is at your doorstep.
We need to remove these liars from government in every sector, be it the Military, the IRS, the FBI, the CDC... Whatever. Until they stop lying to us about everything we must not trust them any farther than we can throw them.
You can’t even “trust but verify” these compulsive liars. It is as if we have become the Soviet Union under Stalin and Khrushchev and our media have all become Pravda.
Health officials have acknowledged that Thomas Eric Duncan, 42, was initially sent home from Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas when he showed up on Sept. 26 complaining of fever and abdominal pain. He had to return two days later in an ambulance.
That was the day “I called CDC to get some actions taken, because I was concerned for his life and he wasn’t getting the appropriate care,” Duncan’s nephew, Josephus Weeks, told NBC News on Wednesday night. “I feared other people might also get infected if he wasn’t taken care of, and so I called them to ask them why is it a patient that might be suspected of this disease was not getting appropriate care?”
Weeks added that he hoped “nobody else got infected because of a mistake that was made.”

“I’m not angry,” Weeks said. “It’s more frustration and concern. ... I’m hoping that he can get the same kind of treatment that was given to the four other patients that survived, and that’s my concern, and that’s why I’m still asking about it.”
CHARLOTTE, NC — While hospital officials in Texas and the Center for Disease Control are taking heat Wednesday for how they’ve handled the first Ebola case in the United States, the family of the man suffering from the illness spoke exclusively with WCCB News.
We are learning more about possible missteps in Thomas Eric Duncan’s treatment.
His nephew, Josephus Weeks, lives in Kannapolis, NC. He talked with WCCB’s Courtney Francisco in his first appearance on camera since he learned of his uncle’s sickness. “We’re just hoping and praying that Eric survives tonight,” said Weeks. “We got our hopes up for him.” He is now worrying about how to save one of his own. He knows the experimental drug that saved the lives of two Ebola patients with ties to Charlotte is no longer available. “Eric is a family man,” said Weeks. “He’s still a person, and we would appreciate if he could get the best care possible.’ Weeks echos reports that his uncle went to a Dallas hospital after arriving in the U.S. from Liberia. He says doctors sent Duncan home with antibiotics, but he came back to the hospital days later. At that point, doctors quarantined him and confirmed he had the virus. “It’s very stressful, but we just, we appreciate as much help as we can get, because they just got here and contracted this stuff,” said Weeks. “He needs to pay back the hospital, and he does have kids that require some help as well.” That’s new information that Duncan traveled from Liberia to see his children. Weeks says doctors are checking those children for any signs of Ebola. “That’s what I want, just for my family member to be okay,” worried Weeks. Now Weeks wonders how his family will pay for this treatment. SIM USA and Samartian’s Purse paid more than $1 million in treatment for Nancy Writebol and two doctors.

The only thing people who think they might be exposed have to do is to scrape up enough money to get to the US before they show symptoms.
They’ll get Obama’s secret miracle cure for white people.
The 1000 troops was to give it to our military. They deserve it in his twisted mind.
Pray America wakes
“CDC Spokesman Admits Screening Inadequate, Wont Ban Flights From Liberia”
We dont want to offend the poor Ebola infected Liberians.
They are doubling-down on stupid.
This one is different. There was a bit of an edge to the reports of this yesterday as the MSM reported on the issue. They realize that their walls can be breached and the consequences of the breach can be death. That realization will cost Obie the services of his enablers in the press and Hollywood. Especially after one of the liberal privileged elites or their loved ones become infected with a virus brought upon US as an unintended but very predictable consequence of Prince Obie's reckless policies.
Up is down. Down is up. Bazaar is too kind as is insanity.
Purposeful is? yep, purposeful.
I agree completely.
Close down travel to Africa.
Now.
