Not that the FEDS will tell you this. Look, they are already closing schools in Ohio and Texas. The government mission at this point is to avoid panic.

And maybe, just maybe the CDC is right about Ebola and America is over reacting but if true, we can look no further than the Obama lies that have jaded Americans. Kind of like the shark, shark, shark... scream when nothings there.

So Obama has violated the trust of the American people. We are indeed on our own

"We have a worst-case scenario, and you don't even want to know," warns Alessandro Vespignani, a researcher creating simulations of infectious disease outbreaks, but there could be as many as two dozen people in the U.S. infected with Ebola by the end of the month. The projections only run through October because it’s too difficult to model what will occur if the pace of the outbreak changes but, as Bloomberg reports, Vespignani warns if the outbreak becomes more widespread in other regions, it "would be like a bad science fiction movie."

As Bloomberg reports,

Alessandro Vespignani, a Northeastern University professor who runs computer simulations of infectious disease outbreaks warns there could be as many as two dozen people in the U.S. infected with Ebola by the end of the month.


The projections only run through October because it’s too difficult to model what will occur if the pace of the outbreak changes in West Africa, where more than 8,900 people have been infected and 4,400 have died, he said. If the outbreak isn’t contained, the numbers could rise significantly.

“If by the end of the year the growth rate hasn’t changed, then the game will be different,” Vespignani said. “It will increase for many other countries.”

Wow, the media keeps mentioning the movie, "Contagion." I think maybe I should see it. lol
 
If CDC had been notified before many were exposed, you might have pulled this off. The Governor of Texas however is taking no chances; from Iowa to Europe, he may call in for reports once it is established Ebola is not transmitted by phone. Texas, home of the YELLA BOYS.
 
We should get the lefties here to join up with Obama, and head on over to assume some of the these assistance duties for those with Ebola. I mean, since they know how to protect themselves and all. Oh, and the CDC said its safe to interact with the infected

The CDC never said that, and the state of Texas needs to cough up some money; TEXbola began THERE.
 
They are really having troubles balancing between 'not spreading the panic' and 'providing useful and objective information'.
Is there going to appear some reasonable person to take care of that mess?
The funny thing is that people keep asking why the government doesn't do some obvious things to limit the outbreak of the disease. And the government keep doing anything but taking effective measure for preventing the further spread...

Well, the new czar doesn't give you warm fuzzies.

He doesn't give anything, I guess... And definitely not a hint of confidence that we can solve the problem with his help.
What the hell are they doing in the White House? Ahh, don't even want to know...
 
Heard this morning he may have already missed 2 meetings. He is nothing but a political operative.

Well.................it's the GOP that cut funding for the CDC.

Matter of fact, it was also the GOP that screamed that Obama has too many czars in his administration.

Oh wait....................Obama has too many czars when it's expedient for the GOP to scream about how he's hurting corporations, but when something like Ebola comes up, the GOP starts screaming about how we need a new czar.

McCain (as well as many others) screamed out loud that Obama has too many czars, but now that there is a potential disease out there that could take out a few people, they scream that something needs to be done, and a new czar should be appointed.

Quick question...................why don't we have a Surgeon General (whose job it actually is to tell the country about dangerous health threats)?

Oh yeah................it's because the GOP is scared of the NRA and won't confirm a new SG.

Vote Democrat this year so that we can actually get things done for this country.

Exactly.

We've had 2 Ebola victims (meaning those who have contracted it in this country), as well as have pulled in 3 more people (those serving overseas trying to stop the outbreak of this ugly virus), and have had 1 person who lied to get back into this country.

I really don't think it's an outbreak.

Incidentally...........................did you hear that almost all of the people who came into contact with the guy that died have been released because they are past the time that they can become infected?

FAUX Nooze is gonna tell you all about Ebola and how dangerous it is.

Are they going to tell you when the danger is passed, so you no longer have to live in fear?

Well, he has a great mentor to learn from. Any prediction what he might say the first thing? "Everything is under control. Ebola will never get to America. What? It's already hear? Oh, they must've been talking about it at those meetings..." :D
