Obama says we will continue to let people fly here from Liberia where the outbreak started. But don't worry, the airport personnel will screen the people for Ebola. But the trained infectious disease Doctors in Dallas sent the Ebola patient home because THEY could not recognize the disease! This after the patient told them he just got back from Liberia!
And why won't we seal the damn borders.

Because it would be a massive over reaction. Ebola is not some horrible massive threat to the US. More folks will die from the Flu here in the US then Ebola.

My guess is that if you knew the plane you were about to get on was transporting an ebola patient without any protective barriers, you wouldn't get on it.

EDIT: BTW, do you believe the CDC professionals (in the photo below) are:
1. Just getting ready for Halloween
2. Into causing hysterics for fun
3. Concerned about catching ebola

Officials: Second person being monitored for Ebola

USA TODAY‎ - 3 hours ago

DALLAS — Health officials are closely monitoring a possible second Ebola patient who had close contact with the first person to be diagnosed in the U.S., the director of Dallas County's health department said Wednesday. All who have been in close contact with the man officially diagnosed are being monitored as a precaution, Zachary Thompson, director of Dallas County Health and Human Services, said in a morning interview with WFAA-TV, Dallas-Fort Worth. "Let me be real frank to the Dallas County residents: The fact that we have one confirmed case, there may be another case that is a close associate with this particular patient," he said. "So this is real. There should be a concern, but it's contained to the specific family members and close friends at this moment."

Like a terrorist attack, a pandemic (or the threat of one) is a wonderful way to suspend civil liberties and take further control. Flights are still permitted to allow more in to speed this up.

If the idiot in the WH stays true to form, he will want to "study" the issue. Meanwhile, more people will be diagnosed and then after several deaths from the disease, he might stop the flights from central Africa.

He will first see if the outcome could damage his narcissism.

Well, there's that.

And then there's the fact that he's just finding out about this in the media. Of course, after finding out about it in the media, he spent the next two hours convincing Michelle that this had nothing to do with his drunkle Onyango "He Bowlah" Obama.







On a more serious note, I tend to believe PedroMartinez in that the CDC is saying one thing, and yet doing another..
