Obama had repeatedly, through his agency heads, tried to tamp down the growing public alarm over the Ebola scare. He trotted out Frieden and others, aided by some liberal media 'experts' to try and downplay the risks posed by continued flights of West Africans into the USA.
Eventually it became clear that indeed yes, one CAN get Ebola without rolling around in an Ebola victim's vomit, even sitting next to someone infected on a bus was highly dangerous, not because it was easy to catch, but because it was so fatal a disease if caught.
Two days ago, Democrat leaders and heavyweight democrat donors appealed to him to get out in front and try to salvage the sinking poll numbers of democrat candidates allied to the President. Now you can expect his handlers to suggest a beneficial timeline for him to replace Frieden, and to impose some sort of flight restrictions.
Ideally, this will occur within two weeks before the midterm elections to try and bump the polls favorably, and convince some voters that finally their rockstar President is doing something to 'save' them again.

ebola isn't even a real issue
its a real issue in liberia, where they don't have infrastructure to deal with it
in the us this is fucking childs play to contain it, its not a big deal
there's a thousand things that are more likely to kill you than ebola and the network news will cover exactly zero of them

triple trying to line fit an exponential with two data points
no wonder he doesn't understand
edit: the world is taking this shit seriously (finally) and as such I don't expect this to become a pandemic
if it was a joke, as you imply, why would we be sending troops and resources to the region? why would we be reacting the way we are with those who have it?
why you people make videos like this?

So why didnt this progressive "truth telling" group mention the WH cutting funding?? [Their hidden message: MORE GVT, MORE MONEY]
See page 46 under Budget Estimate to Congress and then note what was authorized. http://www.cdc.gov/fmo/topic/Budget...tions_budget_form_pdf/FY2014_CJ_CDC_FINAL.pdf
Hey Vanster, why dont you explain that math. I hear you're the only one who understands it.
Anyway.
There's no doubt all media sensationalize the news. But comparing the Flu to Ebola is apples to oranges and indicates a limited grasp on transmission and lethality. Ebola's fatality rate is one of the highest of them all (especially versus influenza: List of human disease case fatality rates - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) and you certainly wouldnt be so cavalier about ebola if it was airborne.
A travel ban should be emplaced and new arrivals put into quarantine. I find it odd that the [strike]statists[/strike] progressives who always cry about fighting for / taking care of the people are suddenly willing to risk the lives of others.
The problem I have, is they still haven't said if the Ebola fluid can go through the skin.
If it's the same as the cold or flu, then they need to tell everyone
NOT TO TOUCH THEIR FACE.
But we're still not getting the answer on whether it's airborne or whether contact on any skin means you get it.
If it's like the flu, that means people are picking their nose and rubbing their eyes with their gloves on. Or they touch their face after taking off the equipment.

Ebola shows signs quickly and kills quickly, a virus like this burns itself out quickly usually.
Most losers are.
Think of them as the whiners who cry all the time about what is and isnt fair and live in some bizarro world of political correctness they like to call 'reality'.
The rest of us know that life isnt fair and full of challenges that define our character.

While the chance of this becoming an epidemic are slim, the option is definitely on the table. So far two people working in the hospital that Duncan was treated have contracted ebola. Hopefully, they haven't spread it to anyone else. All it would really take is an infected individual spreading it to a few more people. If the average hospital is as unprepared as the hospital in Dallas was, why would anyone expect the spread of this disease to be contained? Its clearly not spreading at an alarming rate currently, but thats the nature of the early stages of exponential growth. At some point, it could spread at an alarming rate. I think closing the borders to anyone that has recently visited an infected country is the responsible thing to do.
It's not going to spread in the states, because Americans have a better immune system.
Duncan was already dying, even if the hospital sent him home. His body was not ready to fight the virus.
Let's see what happens with Amber Vinson, who is black but grew up in America.

When did basic science become a democrat exclusive? You might want to rethink that.
