Does anyone in our government have common sense when it come to the spread of Ebola?
Vanity | 10/9/2014 | Trueblackman

With cases of Ebola now confirmed here in the United States, one has to ask why hasn't our government took the proper step to completely isolate the infected from the general population?

I personally have little faith in these government promoted hospital isolation units to protect the general pubic from a possible pandemic of Ebola and other mystery diseases that are popping up all of a sudden.

Now with all this said, here is the questions that no one in the press seems to be asking: The taxpayers pay for two Naval Medical ships in the U.S.N.S. Comfort and Mercy, which in reality are floating hospitals that can serve as isolated hospital centers off both coast and away from the general population, so why has the Obama Administration considered or employed them with their fully trained military medical staff and support crew?

Comfort is sitting idle in Norfolk, and Mercy is sitting in San Diego. You have a good question, and I imagine Obama will get right on that idea, with all the energy and concern for our country that we have come to expect from him.

Pollster, the Comfort is home-ported in Baltimore with its staff out of Bethesda/Walter Reed Hospital and I was talking to some of my former Corpmen Shipmates and they aren’t even on standby at this point.

Well, we have never closed our border to try to stop illegal aliens. And we want to be politically correct and not put travel bans in place.

Bottom line is that we won’t do common sense actions to stop Ebola, or any other problems that come from open borders.

Voters have Common Sense.

Federal Politicians have Common Non-Sense.

Same reason they allow plastic and petrochemicals in your food.

uh no, they want to push the racism thing. Tell you what, if my Aunt Nellie was exposed to Ebola, I would steer clear. Not because I don’t love her, I just do not want Ebola.

Borders should be closed to calm this country down.

President Eboma feels the time has come for a predominately white country (USA) to suffer from Ebola just as much of West Africa has. This is the thought process that keeps the flights from West African nations coming to America. SICK, TWISTED, and DEADLY FOR US.

The real question should have been “Do any of our govt leaders have common sense?”

A resounding big NO would say it all!

the govt officials will be a bit more interested in common sense when their 22 yro dtr or granddtr is the one having to clean these patients, give them iv meds and injections in their rumps, feed them wipe them up, put various tubes in them....THEN...when it affects the elites families will be when common sense again becomes common.

I think You have a great idea/plan. The problem is the idiot sticks in “power” want this to happen to thin the herd. That is the only thing that makes sense about the way they are NOT handling this situation.

< my dream fix >

I’d like to find a way to get all the idiot sticks aboard a Cruise ship get it in DEEP WATER and SCUTTLE IT!!!

Then we could start to fix the huge mess they created.

< /my dream fix >

I already know that and they are bringing in all kinds of diseases we have not seen in decades. Look up guidestones in GA. Read what is on them.

Hey, it's CYA time, bunch of them so scared they're babbling incoherently.

It's been an amazing week, a whole mess of nasty old lies and derelictions of duty are floating to the top.

You're probably right. The question then becomes, "who stands to benefit most from the panic?"

“Keep tellin’ yourself that . . .”

Over the last month, thousands of Americas have been killed by the flu and several Americans have been killed by lightening. None have been killed by Ebola.
