But Andrew Cuomo isn’t? OK.
The left IS truly insane. You avoid an crisis by being proactive. Or you do what the Feds do and roll the dice. Pardon my french, but screw that.
There should be more panic.
If we aren’t going to quarantine travelers leaving those countries at the start of the trip, they should be quarantined at the end of the trip. At least long enough to do a blood test and reduce the odds that they are infected. And they should be quarantined at home for the duration of the 21 days.
CDC’s insistence on non-quarantines are going to get people killed. They already had two near misses with the nurses in Dallas.
I think someone should drink some ipicack (sp?) and go into their offices and barf everywhere. Now THAT is comedy.
Everything is politicized in this country. Even diseases. This is insanity.
NY Magazine better pray that nothing happens. With Africa exploding with it; we all better pray.
Maybe he’s trying to PREVENT an Ebola panic.
This woman was running a low-grade fever.
The last time a nurse for an Ebola patient wasn’t quarantined for a low-grade fever, she turned out to have Ebola.... which caused a great inconvenience to the other people she came into contact with - on planes, etc. - who had to self-quarantine and/or worry about Ebola, too.
It makes sense to quarantine, just in case.
Taking precautions is not a panic. It’s sensisble and logical. Why else are all the African countries banning anyone from the Ebola countries? Believe me if there is a mass outbreak in the U.S. the left will be the most panicked people of all. As always they’ll blame everything on somebody else.
Nobody gutted this fish, and it's stinking real bad.
Gov. Christie is not "panicking", he is taking some common sense precautions to ensure the safety of the other citizens of NJ. I hate the press.
And, I would like to point out that it seems that the doctors who come back, from Africa, have a serious disregard for the health of their fellow citizens, as they are always whining and complaining about having to take precautions. If they would self-quarantine, this wouldn't happen. But, they seem to think they should be able to wander about freely. The nurse from Dallas did it, these two doctors have done it. What is up with that?
It's like the rush to write articles decrying the as-yet-to-materialize anti-muslim backlash every time muslims blow up some citizens.
They view every attack or crisis as a political issue to be managed. And they are terrified not that people will die from ebola (too many people alive anyway), but that any stupid deaths could hurt the Democratic party if the public is allowed to believe Obama's not doing enough.
So what do you call it when millions of us were “confined” to tents, “without showers” in places like Korea, Iraq, Tarawa, Afghanistan, Germany, Okinawa, Belleau Wood and a thousand other places? Does she not see the irony?
If you are a propagandist you are prepared to play it whichever way it goes.
If they detain her and she doesn’t have ebola, you scream to the high heavens. If they don’t detain her and she does have ebola, you scream to the high heavens. Either way, you pound that drum.
There is no panic. And the note of common sense struck by the quarantines of the three governors will help preserve the lack of panic.
It is instructive to note that the DOD is using the same quarantine protocols.
1. A quarantine is absolutely standard procedure for an epidemic disease. Whether it is applicable in individual cases is a decision hopefully qualified people are paid to make. These will occasionally get it wrong and it is preferable to have any errors be on the safe side.
2. Politicians are not "qualified people".
3. Journalists are not "qualified people".
4. Attorneys are not "qualified people".
This is a communicable disease with a 70% mortality rate. It needs to be taken calmly and seriously. It does not need to become a political football.
How many Americans have died from Ebola? Zero.
How many Americans have got Ebola who weren't in direct contact with dead or almost dead Ebola patients? Zero.
How many Americans have Ebola right now? Apparently zero.
EBOLA PANIC IN THE DEFENSE DEPARTMENT...!!!
Soldiers returning home from Ebola infested African countries are quarantine 21 days in Italia before entering U.S.
430 doctors and nurses died killed by the disease while treating Ebola patients in Africa...
Why they are not forced to be quarantine when they return to U.S.A. for the protection of their own families and the country?
I can’t stand Chris Christie, but he made the right call to quarantine the lib nurse.
Should one of my loved ones contract Ebola because of government incompetence and political games, they won’t need to worry about panic, they will need to worry about me.
It is crazy that there is even a debate on all of this. The Democrats are making a very big gamble with their nonsense. If a couple dozen folks from around our country come down with Ebola, our country will stop dead in it’s tracks.
As with so many other issues in America, this was avoidable.....all it would have taken was REAL leadership.
