I agree.

This ebola SNAFU would be comical if it weren't so dangerous.

"It's deadly, but don't worry. It's difficult to contract the disease."

"Two nurses in astronaut gear have now contracted the disease."

"Don't worry. It's hard to get ebola."

"One of those nurses has travelled across the country by airliner."

"Don't worry. We'll have that airliner isolated and decontaminated."

Anyone else hear a ticking time bomb?

Duncan laid in a hospital room for hours with 40 or more people coming in to treat him without any protection at all. This is going to go "viral".

I hear you. When flu season kicks in and we have the emergency rooms filled with flu patients, how in the world will they handle it all? Screen/treat everyone like they potentially have ebola? I think impossible.

General Warns of 'Mass Migration' to U.S. if Ebola Comes to Americas

That's a mouse compared to our healthcare system collapsing because of everyone with a cold or flu running to emergency rooms and urgent care facilities thinking they might have Ebola. Not to mention nurses and doctors refusing to work in those conditions.

If you'd followed any news at all in the past 72 hours, you'd know that the nurses didn't have astronaut gear.

In fact, the most recent patient apparently took care of Duncan before they realized he had Ebola (as did dozens of others) and then flew off to Ohio.

Good point.

I think this again is a failure right at the top. If we had the CDC from the get go make sight visits, teaching/supervising the proper protocol to handle ebola patients to hospital staff, we more than likely wouldn't have the issue of 2 nurses becoming infected and staff in our health care industry would have confidence to handle ebola.

Anyone, correct me if I'm wrong if the CDC has actually done such visits/training/managing on protocols in person at various hospitals but I haven't found such information anywhere.

Seeds of doubt people. It's all in the back of your minds. Yes even you uber liberals have that little voice in the back of your head talking to you eventhough you will post nothing but your un-dying(?) support for this administration's leaders and it's failure of a POTUS.
