Barry's whores in the MSM are already blaming the Hospital, not the "BLACK" guy who brought it into the country.

Disingenuous and lying cartoon. How many health care workers and media types have been infected and DIED, while trying to combat Ebola in Africa ?

Oh, how Clinton and the Leftist MSM cared about the massacre that was taking place between the Hutu and the Tutsi. You remember, the April 7 - July 15 1994, when over 500,000 died in a bloody ,violent genocide ?


Bono praised George W Bush for all the $ he directed to help fight AIDS in Africa, which has killed FAR more than Ebola ever will, but you conveniently turn a blind eyes to those facts. Gee, wonder why.


And funny to see 1kiki get all bent out of shape over 1 comment made which was accurate, while ignoring the utterly hateful and despicable comment where 1 a-hole shows no concern at all for fellow Americans, simply because of where they live.

Hypocrite much ?

Late last night an alert was issued from the White House, advising the president had decided to cancel a visit to Rhode Island and New York, in order to continue “monitoring the ongoing government response to the threat posed by the Ebola virus.”

Or, as many right-wing propagandists interpreted that news: “to monitor how fast Obama can give us all ‘the Ebola,’ declare martial law, and take our guns.” They even have a t-shirt. When your entire life revolves around irrational fear, a health crisis half a world away is “an epidemic sweeping across the nation.” Thanks, Obama!

Except, of course, THERE IS NO EPIDEMIC in this country. The BREAKING NEWS, NATION ON HIGH ALERT, and PLANELOAD OF PASSENGERS IN PERIL headlines screaming at us 24-hours-a-day aren’t helping much, either.
Here are the FACTS: you don’t have ‘the Ebola.’ You’re not going to GET the Ebola virus, unless you fly to Dallas, barge into an isolation unit and french kiss Nina Pham or Amber Vinson (and even then there’s a good chance that if you DID, you STILL wouldn’t get it). Relax.

Yes, the president cancelled his scheduled trip to “continue monitoring the U.S. response to Ebola,” which Politico dubbed merely “optics” from an administration concerned about midterm elections (seriously?) and Fox News referred to as “scrambling” to “to ease concerns over the spread of Ebola.” Excuse me — what “spread?” Two health care professionals who came in direct contact to a dying patient have tested positive and are currently in isolation. That’s it.

I know — let’s blame the victims; media reports have largely focused on what these women did “wrong.” Well, for starters, they went to work for a private, for-profit hospital which sent a Liberian patient home, because PROFITS. Thanks, capitalism. It’s not as though when Thomas Eric Duncan initially arrived for treatment, “LIBERIA” might have acted like a large, blinking, neon sign of caution for the resident on duty.

By the time Thomas became highly infectious, he returned to a hospital which not only didn’t have CDC protocols in place, they didn’t even have a hazmat suit on site. The staff did the best they could under the circumstances to protect themselves, but yes, a couple of the people caring for a dying man did contract the virus.

If you’re looking for a villain here, my money’s on irresponsible journalists and lawmakers who infect ordinary Americans with irrational fears which, as it turns out, is a lot easier than contracting Ebola. People like Representative Tom Marino (R-PA), who just called for the resignation of CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden, because “This Ebola situation is beginning to spiral beyond control.”

No, it’s not, you imbecilic clown. What’s next, Tom?! Shouting “fire” in a crowded theater? President Obama is NOT offering a “false sense of security to many of our citizens,” he’s offering them the FACTS, without the side-order of paranoia: "Because of the measures that we’ve put in place, as well as our world-class health system and the nature of the Ebola virus itself – which is difficult to transmit – the chance of an Ebola outbreak in the United States is extremely low."

And can we PLEASE stop suggesting that “a temporary travel ban for such individuals who live in or have traveled from certain West African countries” is somehow “reasonable and timely?” You couldn’t be more wrong if you were twins, Congressman Bill Shuster, (R-PA), and Senator John Thune, (R-SD). Again, dealing with facts is always a good idea.

"In recent months we’ve had thousands of travelers arriving here from West Africa, and so far only one case of Ebola has been diagnosed in the United States, and that’s the patient in Dallas."

Yes, the Ebola virus might hitch a ride to the states in an airline passenger, but it’s not “airborne,” as some other irresponsible parties have suggested. Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, reminds us “it’s very unusual for a virus to change how it’s transmitted.” Take AIDS, for example.
"Of all the years we’ve known HIV, and with all the replication and mutation, it has never changed its transmission … [with Ebola] it’s not the paramount issue on my mind because it’s fundamentally unlikely."

In the “fundamentally unlikely” event you find yourself caring for a patient with Ebola, don’t just “wear three or four pair of latex gloves” (like the staff at Texas Presbyterian Hospital was doing when the CDC arrived on site). During the press conference in the Roosevelt Room at the White House yesterday, President Obama also said this:
"I know that the American people are concerned about the possibility of an Ebola outbreak, and Ebola is a very serious disease. And the ability of people who are infected who could carry that across borders is something that we have to take extremely seriously. At the same time, it is important for Americans to know the facts."

Fact: you don’t have ‘the Ebola.’ Fact: your odds of becoming infected are slim to none. For example, you can’t get it by sitting next to someone on a plane (unless they’re already displaying symptoms — and even then you’d have to really work at it to get sick).

You areTWICE as likely to contract HIV or SARS from someone who has it — and ten times more likely to get the mumps from an infected patient — than you are to get sick from someone who has been exposed to Hepatitis C or ‘the Ebola’ virus.

Fact: half the adults surveyed in a recent poll believe there will be a wide-ranging epidemic of ‘the Ebola’ right here in the United States during the coming year. Not surprisingly, half the country also votes for Republicans. Any questions? Get the facts — the White House Blog is an excellent source of information about the disease, and what we all can do to stay healthy.

You’re welcome.

Or the gem where he says we must isolate Ebola in Africa, but the best way to do that is NOT to stop commercial flights to and from the infected countries, because that would only spread the disease more.

If you listen to Fox News, none of this will seem right to you.

Of course, if you listen to Fox News, you also believe we're all going to die of Ebola.

News today: The first patient to contract Ebola in US, Amy Phan is now Ebola-free, claims NIH. And has photo-op with Obama in meida-banned press evant. Second patient Amber Vincent reportedly also Ebola-free at CDC.

Reportedly Duncan died 8 October, so after 21 days of incubation, we shall find out on 29 October how many he infected.

Amber Vincent travelled commercial jet on 14 October, right? So on 4 November (Election Day for Conservatives - Express voting for Liberals is on 5 November, no waiting in lines) we can find out how many were infected by her before she was hospitalized.

Except that WHO says the incubation period is 42 days, so the above dates need to add another 21 days to them.

My prediction is that you'll find that zero people were infected by her.

My prediction is that you'll also find that number of people infected by the doctor in New York.

For a disease that's supposedly so much easier to get than AIDS, a whole lot of Americans don't seem to be dying of it.

Cite? Every piece of info I can find says the incubation period is 2 to 21 days.

I think you're mistaking their overabundance of caution and you're conflating that to claim that they said something that nobody else seems to have heard them say.

Is it possible you mis-heard something?
