Resources better spent . . . .

developing clean incinerators?

Self-disinfecting and reusable PPE?

Will the private sector begin hiring chemists and engineers?

I have an idea - take liberal wimmim and make them wear an eye patch over their right eye so that they perceive through their left eye, thereby stimulating their right brain to better able them to comprehend the hard sciences!

Metallic protective gear can be "cleaned" electronically.

So can animals!

Now you think nothing of condemning thousands of your best and brightest young men and women to die overseas through some military action or another with questionable motives and what that does to your economy and debt load, but instead, whine like a five dollar leaf blower over ONE guy entering your country with a communicable disease. You call yourselves a nation founded upon Christian principles at every possible opportunity; here's just another opportunity.

Quarantine centers perhaps, but possibly denying your own citizens rights of return if coming through a hot zone? C'mon get a grip!

You were silent when your media and government were feeding you bullcrap and suggesting military intervention over some hypothetical threat from ISIS in the mid-east while both entities were ignoring or downplaying the threat to those other brown people way over there in a country that neither shives-a-git over because it doesn't have any oil.

"The land of the free and home of the brave" people.......remember?
I've never advocated military intervention anywhere.

So try some different stereotype and some more platitudes.

You want the west African Ebola patients, you take care of them.

Taking the precautionary step of making yourself aware of the hazards by consulting authoritative sources of information rather than the pandering and prejudiced news media, would be advised.

There is a vast difference between being wilfully ignorant and simply among the misinformed.

Your nation has faced many challenges over hundreds of years and managed to prevail regardless of the early missteps taken.

The benefit or value of Texas Presby. Hospital's example of mistake to the rest of the world is incalculable in it's ultimate effect to all medical providers reviewing and ramping up for the arrival of their first threat. Imagine other's taking the position of "wow they did everything we thought would be appropriate but missed only a couple of little steps.......we need to review our protocols ASAP!"

Texas Presby. perhaps unwittingly, has done the western word a great service by showing all of us how very precise we need to be in preparation for this.

Where is Dr. Nicole Lurie, the REAL Ebola Czar? Why is she missing in actions?

How come Obama didn't even know he already had an ebola czar, and went and appointed long time political hack Ron Klain as the anti ebola czar. That's an attempt at humor, btw. Anti pope, anti ebola czar. Ha ha.

Lest anyone has forgotten, Ron Klain ran point of the Solyndra giveaway which led to that scandal.

Klain, btw, reports to Susan Rice. Cant wait to hear her blame ebola panic on a youtube video.

Once again., the gang that couldnt shoot straight missed the target leaving us with political hacks in charge. Blue Ribbon Commission, anyone?

We had a long meeting yesterday and I felt reassured. However the PPE while evolving is still inadequate.

The lack of leadership in this administration is dumbfounding.
Any little "situation" and people scramble to go into hiding while Obama looks for a scapegoat..I mean "czar".

And how vocal were you in resisting military intervention, as compared to this issue?

Yeah; my bad, I stereotyped you as a caring and advanced nation founded on those principles of compassion for the disenfranchised.

Oh, so now they're just platitudes..... good to know.

Did you just gloss over the possibility of you denying your own citizens re-entry or would that be just another collateral effect.
