Doctors 'Optimistic' About Prognosis for American Journalist With Ebola, Family Says

Wonderful place it is over there. I guarantee you this guy was aware of his surroundings and had training on how to avoid getting it.

This is a dangerous place, and we've sent 3000 of our people into the thick of it.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Stop the flights.

They will still come by ship.

Shhhh ... They'll want massive piles of dirt to make land moats.

Bet on it.

If the right gets their way, there will be a full out panic. That's what they want.

It's all part of the rightwing 'gloom and doom' misery offensive, conservatives know they can't win elections on their failed policies alone so they instead seek to contrive controversies where none exist, to propagate fear and uncertainty for some perceived partisan gain – be it ISIS, ebola, or some other manifestation of rightist demagoguery.

 

[Dot Com]

their tv channel is helping to stoke the fear

Hmmmmm.....gloom and doom and the bogeyman........Well since over half of those that catch EBOLA die, we have a right to push for measures to contain it and limit it's spread, UNLESS YOU ARE A NUMB NUTS................

ISIS.......seems GOP candidates had it right and predicted what is happening now. Seems Obama has been arming them and those arms have fallen into the hands of the people who we are bombing now.

Who's policy is screwed up now...........perhaps you are confused.

Republicans act like Obama can just pull up the drawbridge and the scariness can just stay in the nation of Africa.

Stupid he most certainly can close access to flights from countries that have the infection.

Getting here from Africa usually requires multiple stops and plane changes in various other countries. The Texas case took four flights to get here, we do not have any system in place to track the international movement of every human on earth.

It doesn't matter how many flights it takes you need a passport to take an international flight and the airlines know where you are going. Try to defend odumbass on this.

This thing is really nothing to be pissing yourself over but if you like sitting in piss that's your business. In the history of pandemics closing borders has been tried over and over again and it just does not work. Disease respects no national boundaries and no amount of security is enough to stop it. What will stop it is to do the best we can until it runs it's course and to stay calm because in this case over-reacting can easily cause more chaos than the disease alone.

You stupid little bitch when was the last time we had one person with Ebola in this god damn county? You stupid mother fucking partisan hack.

Passports get counterfeited all the time.

I guess the planes starting point get's counterfeited also you stupid fucking bitch.

Yes, it can be. Terrorists have plenty of connections to take other modes of transportation to major airports to disguise their origin.

Stupid you don't know shit. you and obama have a lot in common STUPIDITY.

Obama sending more troops to fight Ebola.

WASHINGTON, Oct 3 (Reuters) - The Pentagon said on Friday it may send nearly 4,000 troops to West Africa to support America's response to the Ebola crisis, almost 1,000 above its previous estimate, and cautioned its projections may change further.

Yes, it's why they get so angry when you try to calm them down to a rational level, spoiling their spooky campfire tales.

and yet people who came in contact with one of the infected are quarantined......

another BS thread from lactose

 

[LordBrownTrout]

With fears running high after the first case of Ebola was diagnosed in the U.S., Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) are doing their part to keep Americans scared. Both lawmakers said this week that the 3,000 troops President Barack Obama is sending to West Africa to fight the virus will return infected and spread Ebola at home.

"You also have to be concerned about 3,000 soldiers getting back on a ship," Paul said in a Wednesday interview with radio host Laura Ingraham. "Where is disease most transmittable? When you're in a very close confines on a ship -- we all know about cruises and how they get these diarrhea viruses that are transmitted very easily. Can you imagine if a whole ship full of our soldiers catch Ebola?"

“I think because of political correctness we’re not really making sound, rational, scientific decisions on this," he added.

Paul, who is a likely contender for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016, went on to say that the Obama administration had downplayed the risk of sending U.S. military personnel to Ebola-infected areas.

Gohmert echoed some of Paul's sentiments on Thursday, telling Lou Dobbs of Fox News that political correctness was behind Obama's decision to dispatch "3,000 military into where they can get Ebola that they can bring back."

"The military is not trained to go catch Ebola and die. They're trained to go in and kill the people that want to come back and kill us," Gohmert said. "The president’s priorities are all mixed up here. All you got to do is shut down traffic in and out of places where there’s high risk of Ebola.”

Few members of Congress voiced any disagreement in mid-September when the White House first announced plans to send troops to combat the Ebola virus. Even Republican leaders like House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) endorsed the decision, offering rare praise for the president.

"What the administration's doing is correct," McConnell said at the time.

Once again, Republicans try to politicize a crisis and twist it for partisan gain.

Here's a question I just have to ask: What kind of moron would not be afraid of Ebola?

I'm not the slightest bit afraid of Ebola.

The odds of me catching ebola are about equal to the odds of me getting struck by lightening. There are a thousand other things more likely to kill me than ebola, and I'm not scared of most of them, either.

If you want to live in fear, I won't try to stop you. But you shouldn't expect everyone to dive under their beds with you.

So how is stopping airline traffic from ebola hot spots in Africa to the US going to affect you personally?
Better safe than sorry as they say/

It wouldn't affect me at all.

But no - it's not better to be "safe" when it means throwing away liberties for temporary safety. If you want to buy into the "it's for your own good" garbage.

You are being wholly complacent.

During the influenza outbreak in the 1800's, many people paid for their complacency by dying from a now completely curable disease. Same thing with the Cholera outbreak. In the 1940's our complacency with the Japanese cost us the lives of thousands of sailors in Pearl Harbor. Our melancholy approach to national security in the 1990's led to the 9/11 attacks. You fail to understand, we desire permanent safety, from a disease that will kill us if left unchecked.

Do you really trust this government with that task? They can't even manage a budget, let alone quell an epidemic. Your faith in governemt ultimately misplaced, Doc. You don't have the right to deny us the task of preserving our own well being. Do you want those Ebola patients roaming the streets, contaminating everything they touch? I am encountering a lot of disturbing people and opinions tonight, yours is but one more.

What do you care Templar. Unless Ebola can manifest itself in a bag of Cheeto's in your Grandma's basement then I think you will be fine.

Republicans don't believe in science or believe that government can do anything of value. They don't believe in health care except for the very rich.

And Bush and the GOP was warned back in 2003 that disbanding the Iraqi military was his biggest blunder. Now that disbanded army call themselves Isis and it's obvious Bush's critics were right.

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/04/washington/04bremer.html?_r=0

The dismantling of the Iraqi Army in the aftermath of the American invasion is now widely regarded as a mistake that stoked rebellion among hundreds of thousands of former Iraqi soldiers and made it more difficult to reduce sectarian bloodshed and attacks by insurgents. In releasing the letters, Mr. Bremer said he wanted to refute the suggestion in Mr. Bush’s comment that Mr. Bremer had acted to disband the army without the knowledge and concurrence of the White House.
