You’re on!

"Bye, bye elections."

Hello President for Life.

Ugh! I don’t have my glasses on. Who are the two faces behind him?

[familyop]

The rate of infection, and the anecdotal evidence of the circumstances of infection, scream "out of control".

Yeah. Something's up. Looks like it's more easily communicable than previously thought.

"In Liberia, American Kent Brantly, one of many doctors to have caught the disease, is fighting for his life."

And look behind the link above at the protective gear that they're wearing.

“Who are the two faces behind him?”
I think it is Holder and Biden.

I’m 61 Years Old and I never HATED a President of the United States, until now.

That picture just reminded me of that fact.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

The poor child. :(

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Wow, that is quite a photo. Makes me want to slap somebody.

Obama plans to bring Ebola to Southern states.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Looks that way.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Null, would you please add me to your list?

[Carthego delenda est]

If this thing is already loose, it will be global. If indeed there is a 21 day lag on showing symptoms, and if a person is contagious for even a short portion of that 21 days, there could be 10’s of thousands, if not more, people walking around passing the virus right now. 20 facilities would barely make a dent in ‘treatment’. More likely, they would/are being set up to process death.

[Smokin' Joe]

Ping!

Having been to El Paso hundreds of times I do not remember any white capped mountains besides it. It does have some hills but no mountains. This photo is NOT El Paso, Texas.

[Gaffer]

Well, they’re going in the right direction. How about a little farther south, though?

[Morpheus2009]

Why are the journalists lying about this disease history?

[Jedidah]

According to the article, there are 20 designated sites nationwide and El Paso is just one of them. And it is at “unactivated” status.

This virus and its potential frightens me, as it should all of us. I absolutely approve of CDC precautionary measures.

The CDC having quarantine stations is not something new. But, a “designated Eloba Site” is new.

Yesterday, ministers here held an emergency Cobra summit to agree plans should the disease arrive in Britain.

I thought I'd read yesterday that England was going to bring in one patient same as the US.

Thanks for inof, El Paso is at border, but other than that I have not heard of it being a secure CDC site.
