An American health care worker who contracted Ebola while volunteering in a Sierra Leone treatment unit has been downgraded to critical condition at the National Institutes of Health, doctors said Monday.

The agency said in a statement that the patient's status was changed from serious condition to critical condition, meaning the person's condition has apparently worsened. The patient is being treated at the National Institutes of Health's hospital near Washington.

When you get worse...I don’t think you get better.

All they have to do is cross the unguarded border, and the Border Patrol will bring them to a hospital for free, top-quality care. Obama is generous with our money.

Just what we need, ANOTHER Ebola crisis.
This is about as bad as the recycling of Bush vs Clinton.

Let me see. Volunteer to go to a God-forsaken country teeming with obola...get obola...be returned to America where we don’t have obola. Thanks LIBs...thanks Idiots.

The idea is not only to help the people who need it, but to contain a disease and a outbreak closer to it’s source, before it spreads.

We have done this for dozens of Ebola outbreaks over 40 years.

You want to forbid Americans coming to America for medical treatment?

Yes...those who have obola. Treat them in the crummy countries where they are “volunteering”. Do you want your family and friends exposed to obola?

So you want to forbid American volunteers and American military from being treated at home, and want them to be forced to remain in Africa.

Doesn’t that seem a little primitive and panicky to you? Are you really so scared like a primitive, that you want to not fly an American home to be treated at an Ebola center?

We built our special infectious disease centers in the US to treat primarily our domestic researchers who work with Sars and Ebola and such, Ebola has been in America for decades.

Everyone should stay away from ebola areas unless they agree to be treated there. Panicky? Primitive? No...smart. Given some researchers’ records at keeping thing contained, it is quite a risk for the population to bring it here. Yes...”force” them to remain there until “cured”. “Panicky” and “primitive”...maybe someone else is being naive.

Your idea is silly, a result of your own personal primitive fears, that is why no one does it, or even thought about doing it, and as far as you wanting to force our military infected to remain in Africa, well, try to explain that to the military and veterans and those who care about them.

Americans will continue to be brought home for the best in medical treatment.

It benefits not only the patients and the future of us calling on them and their organizations, but it serves us here as well.

The question is why you even think something so silly.

Do you know that we have been sending Americans to fight outbreaks of Ebola for 40 years, or that we have been using it in labs here for decades?

Yes.

I believe your position is “silly”.

Thank God that you are not in a position to influence anything.

Ditto to you. I guess we disagree. However, would it disturb you if I were in such a position? One never knows.

Why would I need influence to change anything, we are already doing the sane thing, that I agree with.

The last thing I would want would be for someone with such a nutty idea as you, to be in a position to make such decisions, as refusing to let Americans and servicemen come home for medical treatments.

Scientists in the U.S. have been working with the Bubonic plague virus for many years. There was a story on the scientists working with the Bubonic plague virus on “60 minutes” many years ago. I do not know if the scientists were trying to make a cure for people who suffer from some existing disease or if the scientists were trying to make a weapon that would kill people. It really does not matter whether the Elites work together or separately. It really does not matter whether they try to help us or harm us. The Elites will cause misery and suffering for the greatest possible number of people. The only motivation for Elites is to manipulate the circumstances that allow the greatest amount of money and/or power to come to them.

Your “child” has been “out” for apparently a long time.
