Obama: You Can't Get Ebola 'Sitting Next to Someone on a Bus;' CDC: 'Avoid Public Transportation' | CNS News

Nothing I can say would add anything to the article!

Since you obviously did not read the article, here is the first paragraph for your information and edification:
" Speaking in a
video message to residents of West African countries currently experiencing outbreaks of Ebola, President Barack Obama dispensed advice on how residents can avoid the disease, including:"You cannot get it through casual contact like sitting next to someone on a bus.""

Now, having read that paragraph, exactly WHO was obama speaking to?
Oh, right, "...residents of West African countries currently experiencing outbreaks of Ebola,..."
Well, shucks...

You CAN'T get ebola through casual contact.

Obama isn't wrong on this.

you can thank the illegals for that, hospitals are real gun shy, and have gone broke from illegals coming in,, and not paying their bills.

I remember once going to a hospital with a 103 fever (this was years before the ebola scare, but still) and my ex-wife told the triage nurse this, the literal response was "So?"

Turned out I had viral meningitis. So yeah.

Granted, this was a military hospital. But still. It's not unheard of to get overlooked at any hospital.

Then I guess the CDC is wrong, because the CDC does not agree with obama.
I think I will believe the doctors.
AFAIK, they are not proven liars.
