Private hospital.

Not to mention that Republicans have been defunding the CDC for years.

You reap what you sow.

The CDC has nothing to do with anything, you moron. They aren't going to prevent ebola. They're the ones who are saying that there's nothing to worry about. They are the problem.

The CDC trains and prepares for global disease outbreaks, asshole. Thanks to them, the two mission workers were cured.

"Despite repeated assurances that the Ebola virus cannot be transmitted via airborne particles, the CDC is concerned about that very outcome and has directed airline staff to take steps to prevent the spread of “infectious material through the air.”

"The CDC’s concern about the Ebola virus being spread via the air is understandable in light of a 2012 experiment conducted by Canadian scientists which proved that, “the ebola virus could be transmitted by air between species.”

The CDC doesn't do what you think it does, you progressive pap addict.

It just get scarier and scarier.

Interesting read. Two cages near each other and no direct contact between the animals and Ebola spread to the animal in the other cage. Causing the CDC to admit limited airborne transmission of the virus.

 

[koshergrl]

Yeah they just don't know. They don't know how it's spread, they don't know where it comes from, they don't know how or when it will mutate.

 

[koshergrl]

So like good progressives, if they don't know, they pretend they do, and in fact maintain that not only do they know, but what they know is that it's just not dangerous to Americans, cuz Americans are special!

 

[koshergrl]

Ah, here's a brilliant strategy...withhold information from travelers, so that in the event they start running a fever, they don't realize they've been exposed to ebola.

That seems the best way to ensure maximum exposure, after all:
"The patient, whom officials would not identify, flew to the United States on Sept. 20, and began feeling ill on Sept. 24, Frieden said."

"Officials would not release the name of the airline or the flight number."

Racist!

Oh wait...

 

[koshergrl]

You crazy racist hysteric, you KNOW immigrants don't spread disease!

Oh wait...

LOL

I've written my Senator, Jeff Sessions requesting Congress take action to Ban travel to the infected areas. I suggest you do the same.

I just heard this live on CNN: Man goes to hospital in Texas and tells them he is sick and just came from Liberia. They gave him antibiotics and pain pills and sent him home. 48 hours later he returns and they admit him for Ebola. This is crazy.

BTW, Sanjay Gupta said antibiotics are useless for Ebola.

 

[koshergrl]

What do you expect when the CDC is telling everybody not to worry, that it's not all that contagious?

They downplayed themselves into a pickle. Go figure. The group that works overtime to justify the killing of babies doesn't count it as a great tragedy if the entire Liberian/Somalian population of Dallas goes tits up.
