The CDC is throwing Texas under the bus

I "gagged" my way through the opening segment of the Maddow Show and she certainly was messing with Texas. I don't think the CDC is though. There are a lot of "jurisdictional issues" and they said that the CDC has sent a 10 person team there.

It's not like the CDC can just show up and take over.

If I'm not mistaken, it is Texas officials who have taken control of the effort to contain the crisis. Perry evidently made the decision to place the patient's family in quarantine and it is state troopers who are guarding the entrance.

The CDC is supposedly running the clean-up and identifying the contacts.

err uuhh this is the first case in the US. They should have been there 5 days ago, in their hazmat suits, cleaning up the vomit and the dirty sheets.

Think of all the ways the germs have been tracked around for 5 days. Cats, dogs, mice, bats, kids, people, bikes...

I have ZERO confidence in “them” to handle this.
