"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Thomas Frieden began his grilling Thursday on Capitol Hill with a stark admission that his agency is still searching for ways to combat the Ebola virus as it burrows into the United States.
Two members of Congress are calling for his resignation, and the White House began the torturous process of throwing him under the disease-control bus on Thursday afternoon, saying that Frieden is 'taking responsibility' for his agency's screwups.
'We're always open to ideas for what we can do to keep Americans safe,' Frieden said in his opening statement, departing from his prepared remarks in the face of a hostile and impatient panel in a House Energy and Commerce subcommittee.
'We would consider any options to better protect Americans,' he said later during a Q&A period."

That CDC Chief needs to be FIRED IMMEDIATELY, and they need to bring in a serious medical person to run this.
The woman that’s supposed to be the White House “Ebola czar” or whatever, is really a man, and IT’S corrupt - regardless of what gender it is.
We are in DESPERATE need of some ADULTS here, and FAST!!!

True, though a strategically placed styrofoam cup could make it even better.
Maybe you could use a Stuka or Zero. You know...bad guy planes.
If “we are always looking for ideas” is your only complaint, then I disagree. In the private sector, management should always be looking for new ideas from every level of the operation as well as the consumer. Government should be no different.
I couldn’t agree more...
I don’t know what the idiot left calls it.... but I call it high treason.
Porous skull, brains leaking
Friedon told Rep. Tim Murphy (R-Pa.) before today’s hearing: “.... the administration fears a travel ban from affected countries would hurt fragile West African economies.”
OMG! That is amazing!
(I say this as one who actually sat in a mock-up of the Enola Gay WITH General Paul Tibbetts. I had a nice chat with him and he gave me his autograph.)
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...
Obama?
A murdering terrorist?
We’re always open to ideas for what we can do to keep Americans safe,’ Frieden said in his opening statement
And when some good common sense ideas are presented they have a hundred reasons why it can’t be done.
