Why Has Ebola Czar Nicole Lurie Been MIA?
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 10/15/2014 | IBD Staff

Posted on 10/16/2014 3:02:22 AM PDT by IBD editorial writer

Preparedness: Earlier this week, Sen. John McCain called for an Ebola czar, not knowing one already effectively exists. Why should he, since Nicole Lurie, M.D., M.S.P.H., has been completely M.I.A.

You have to wonder sometimes if anyone in a leadership position in the Obama administration bothers to show up to work these days.

Case in point is Dr. Nicole Lurie, who arguably should be front and center in planning for and responding to the Ebola outbreak. After all, it's right there in her job title.

Maybe because she recommended quarantine and they did not like that and now does not want her name on this??????

Anybody who has worked on this disease knows it is to be quarantined tightly. Why would you want to be an Ebola expert and have your name on this mess. Your name would be vilified throughout history.

Remember when leaders and people were competent and intelligent enough to make good decisions without czars? McCain thinks any crisis can be met by making big government larger and more authoritarian. Or maybe McCain doesn’t think. We are looking for a few good people who show up for work, and know their jobs. Obama needs to hug more Ebola exposed people, and take Biden with him. It’s a good start.

Well, that likely explains why they keep letting (0bola infected) Africans fly in. Social Justice. It wouldn't be fair to keep them out. barf

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

***Sen. John McCain called for an Ebola czar,***

Another Czar? Shouldn’t disease control fall under the Surgeon General, or is the SG position just another spot for toadies of Obola.
