first Ebola case in the USA confirmed in Dallas

thanks for the update, Michtex.

I unfortunately have frequent work out there, and wasn't looking forward to heading on a flight out that way any time soon (yes, call me a crazy paranoid wacko).

If the dude didn't/doesn't have Ebola, still makes one worried about what the hell is in Lubbock that can give you the sharts/pukes/fevers strong enough to warrant a call to the hazmat teams.

...I guess that's the Raider Rash, huh?
 
So the CDC is in charge of tracking down possibly infected patients? Wouldn't the FBI be a better source for tracking people down?

This is just one three ring circus......
 
Since the Feds has a list of everyone who has flown how hard is it to track these people down?
Oh wait I forgot it is BO's CDC.
never mind
 
Just like BO to appoint a former campaign advisor as Ebola Czar. A guy with zero experience in this area.

He never goes out and tries to get the best person for the job. He only selects from his close knit group of brain washed minions.
 
I understand the need to take precautionary measures but this flu season is going to be crazy if the media finds it necessary to report on every case of someone getting sick. I suspect it's this type of hysteria that the Obama administration is trying to avoid, whether right or wrong.
 
I have no confidence in the CDC or the political flunkie who was just named the Ebola czar, but I do have hope for the general population, and that's because the four people who shared the small apartment with Thomas Duncan have apparently not shown any symptoms. (October 19th will be the 21st day after Duncan was admitted to the hospital, so I guess they aren't completely out of the woods yet.) If they end up Ebola-free, then maybe it's not as contagious as I feared. I think the CDC still has more work to do regarding protection of healthcare workers, though. In the final days of an Ebola patient's life, their bodies and bodily fluids become boiling cauldrons of contagion. At a certain point, I think the healthcare workers attending them should be wearing hazmat suits, not just the current protective gear recommended by the CDC (the guidelines of which were upgraded this past Tuesday, but not enough in my opinion).
 
I'd argue against Seattle Husker's comment that this type of 'hysteria' is what the Obama administration wants to avoid.

It's easier to conclude that this is PRECISELY the type of hysteria he WANTS. No person using reasonable logic and deduction could prove that a group of elected officials could screw up this badly on accident. No, this is all grounded in politics. Your Dear Leader is a globalist-- he wants to remove all borders. When one nation succeeds, he wants them ALL to rejoice and share alike. When one nation falters, he wants them ALL to feel the pain.
Keeping the borders and especially continuing to allow everyone from Hot Zones to hop across the ocean and infect our own citizens achieves this. It also distracts from the litany of failures that have mounted over the last 6 years. ISIS isn't getting nearly the press it should deserve because Ebola is front and center. Neither is the pending Obamacare bendover, part II.
By the way, I'm not a conspiracy nut. I just call it as I see it.
Remember, it was O's right hand man that said "never let a crisis go to waste". Ebola is in the left hand waving around, while we're unable to also focus on what is in the right hand.
