Another blithering idiot from Obamaland speaks out. As if this lying POS has any idea whether the Ebola virus will spread in the US. There is one thing I am certain of, and that is that the Ebola virus cannot jump over an ocean. Anyone with half a brain would refuse entry onto any plane or ship heading to the US. No one with Ebola virus should be allowed to enter the US.

With the absolute lack of proper response by anyone anywhere on this that is supposed to be responsible my guess is that Ebola is already here.
International travel and lack of any type of quarantine has let the virus travel the globe potentially.
The next few days, two weeks at the most, and we will know just how bad this thing may be and can get.

Per WHO: "The incubation period, that is, the time interval from infection with the virus to onset of symptoms, is 2 to 21 days." There is no way that the USA closes all borders, and there is no way to hold travelers in quarantine for at least 3 weeks. There is no desire to close land borders with Central America (by the way of Mexico) - and those Central American countries will not be obeying a sanitary regime anyway.

This is a classical situation. A prisoner can escape if at least one guard falls asleep. But the warden can keep his job only if none of his guards ever fall asleep. As the time goes by, the chance of any one guard failing his duty grows. Same here - to stop the virus you have to seal *all* entry points. Not "some", and not "most" - all 100% of them. This government does not specialize in perfect execution of its duties, so it's guaranteed that it will fail this one as well. After all, the USA does not elect Presidents because they are smart; the USA elects Presidents who are socially appealing - a sexy man, a black man, or a woman - and, often, a bureaucrat from a clan of bureaucrats. "Prior experience in management is not required."
