"You cannot get it from just riding on a plane or a bus." "Around the globe, about 400 health care staff have contracted Ebola, and more than 230 have died."
The quote above is from this Forbes article:
http://www.forbes.com/sites/dandiamond/2014/10/15/ebola-has-already-killed-more-than-200-doctors-nurses-and-other-healthcare-workers/
These are highly trained people who were presumably aware that it was critically important to follow infectious disease protocols.
One possible explanation for the high number of infections is that we don't fully understand how Ebola is transmitted, so those protocols are inadequate.
Mr. President, if you are going to play doctor, at least try to follow this ancient advice for for doctors: Primum non nocere. Above all, do no harm.
In this case, you should refrain from deceiving the public by trying to downplay a serious medical risk. Your advice might get people killed.

He just reads what’s put in front of him, and his speech writers don’t have 24/7 access.

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...
