Did you forget the /sarc tag?

No.

I am genuinely puzzled about what people expect the CDC to say. Obviously, communicating everything known about the Ebola virus and informing people about the measures CDC is taking (which happen to be pretty much the same measures they take any time there is a health threat) is not enough for people. What else is the CDC supposed to do?

This isn't a movie like Contagion. The CDC does not behave the way movies portray.

I expect them to treat this disease as if it could kill millions of Americans if it gets over here. You don't let anyone into this country who has been in any of these countries in the last 30 days. This is how epidemics are supposed to be handled. Read your history. Quarantines and border control have been standard tools since the beginning of Civilization.

Instead we have a CDC that is more interested in public relations than disease control. If ever Political Correctness is going to kill us, it is going to be because we treat deadly diseases as if they have more rights than American Citizens.
