Ebola is 2014 October surprise
The Hill ^ | 10/15/14 | Elise Viebeck

Ebola has become the October surprise of this year’s midterm elections, with Democrats and Republicans doing battle over everything from restrictions on travel to the disposal of a victim’s remains.

this guys giving the obama government WAY too much credit.

I understand people in government not wanting to create panic, and I don’t want to create panic, either. But I think it’s also a mistake, on the other side of the coin, to underplay the risk of this,” Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer last week.

Dear Senator Paul. ....Barack Hussein Obama will NEVER let a crisis go to waste.

SINCERELY

Im not certain that the Obama Regime isn’t doing all in it’s power to propagandize ebola to the hilt.

The buffoon from CDC, next to EbolaObama, may be the most dangerous man in America and the western world.

It’s hard to call this a good October surprise for the Democrats and Obama.

Exactly, but beyond that how is obama and his administration's incompetence and their disdain for the safety of Americans a surprise to anyone?

I have a hot tub I’m going to use as a bleach dip after every time I go out in public. I’ll raise the chlorine level up to however high it can go into solution, which is really high. I’d rather have a rash than Ebola.

“Good deal. Keep posting ‘em.”

Please send parts or all to your email lists.

The lack of info on our Ebola problem with most Americans is really scary.

Are they getting anti-Republican ads ready and geared to make us believe that sequestration caused the Ebola crisis in America?

Burial of Ebola victims is not recommended in CDC guidelines to funeral homes. No embalming, viewing, or other dangerous handling of the body.

Of course the body could fly a few round trip airline jaunts to and from West Africa to anyones crazy heart's content without fear of violating any safeguards.

in yesterday’s press conference they said that the most critical period has passed for Duncan’s family, that the first 14 days after exposure is when the majority of infections are detected. October 19 is the date that will mark the passage of 21 days since their exposure.

Thank you.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for them.

Even way, way before any guildlines came out, I would safely assume that any, any funeral home with any sense of common sense have updated their business practices.
