Everyone relax. Obama is appointing an Ebola Tsar today. I feel better already.

Responding to growing calls to appoint an "Ebola czar" to lead America's battle against the deadly virus, sources confirm that President Obama plans to name Ron Klain, a longtime political hand with no apparent medical or health care background.

He did, however, serve as chief of staff to Al Gore and later Vice President Biden...

This is starting to seem more and more like Hurricane Katrina and "you're doing a heckuva job Brownie." :ohno:

Wow. I wasn’t too worried about Ebola but that infection rate is pretty eye opening. Thank goodness we have Dumb and dumber serving as the point men to prevent this from spreading within the US. :dunce:

I guess at this point the biggest concerns are that an infected person flew on a plane from Cleveland to Dallas (a major airport hub). Time will tell if others contracted it on that flight. And the travel ban which seems like a no brainer at this point. Not sure how anyone expects Ebola to be contained within the US without a travel ban instituted on West African passports.

This whole issue shouldn’t even be a political talking point, but incompetence by the powers that be made this a political talking point. WAFJ. :ohno:
The infection rate and numbers from the worst case scenario are what got me too. :o :chair:

The level of incompetence in this whole thing has been mind boggling.

Duncan, patient #1 would never have been allowed in the US if there had been a travel ban in place.
He hows up at Dallas Presbyterian Hospital with a fever and vomiting, was given some meds, and sent home. :shock:

What the CDC or any other health authorities said yet is how did 2 nurses wearing full protective gear come down with the virus?

And the second nurse was told by the CDC she was ok to fly with a low grade fever the day before she was diagnosed. :shock: I can see it now.
Nurse: "I'm a nurse at Dallas Presbyterian that treated the Ebola patient who recently died. I have a low grade fever of 99.5. I have a flight from Cleveland to Dallas. Am I ok to fly?"
CDC: "Well, since your fever isn't 100.4, you should be fine to fly". :shock: :ohno:

So the CDC has to contact everyone on that flight. And now the CDC is saying she might have been contagious 5 days before for her 1st flight from Dallas to Cleveland, so they are having to try to track down and contact everyone on the 1st flight. And Frontier is contacting the passengers who flew on later flights on the Cleveland to Dallas plane (about 800). And that nurse now has numerous friends & family who are being closely monitored, with 7 under strict quarantine. Multiple schools have been shut and you have a 2nd major city gripped by Ebola fear..

And now the CDC is belatedly saying anyone who treated Duncan is travel restricted...

And that dufus head of the CDC when asked direct pointed questions by members of Congress just obfuscates and gives canned answers, especially when asked about a travel ban.

From what I heard, the nurses in Dallas did not have the correct protective gear for treating an Ebola patient. The patient sat in the emergency room for hours sitting next to other people. The nurses used regular scrubs and when they found he had Ebola they put on hoods and used duct tape to cover the gaps in their makeshift gear. That hospital completely batched everything they did.

And of course now it's getting out that the CDC isn't 100% sure that this strain is not transmitted via the air.

You know, I started a thread about how freaky it's going to get with the flu season coming and people all tense about Ebola. Another one is norovirus. There are an estimated 19 to 21 million norovirus cases per year in the United States. And the main obvious symptom is vomiting.

So now we're in a situation where whenever somebody starts vomiting people are going to think "EBOLA!!!"

Boy this is going to get interesting as norovirus case frequency goes up during winter. There are going to be millions of people displaying flu symptoms and millions of people displaying norovirus symptoms all over the place. Plenty of them are going to be people who come from other countries. And lots of people are going to be seeing "EBOLA" when they see that.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

"Obama Administration Found Nearly 25 Percent Chance of Ebola Spread to USA…BEFORE Obama Said

President Obama assured the American public that our country’s Ebola risk was extremely low, even after a federal government-funded study quietly found a nearly 25 percent chance of Ebola reaching the United States in September 2014.

The Defense Threat Reduction Agency and the federal government’s Models of Infectious Disease Agency co-funded a September 2 analysis on the threat of Ebola’s spread to countries including the United States, Israel’s Arutz Sheva reported. The analysis was circulated among federal government officials prior to its September 2 publication date.

The analysis found a nearly 25 percent “probability of Ebola virus disease case importation” to the United States within 3 to 6 weeks.

Nevertheless, President Obama falsely said on September 16 that experts “across our government” agree that America”s Ebola vulnerability was extremely low. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also repeatedly assured the American people that the Ebola risk was low, even after the alarming government study was completed......."
