If you like your ebola, you can keep it.

Despite concerns around the globe that the Ebola virus may continue to spread and mutate into something even more deadly, the director of the CDC attempted to assuage fears about the possibility of an outbreak on U.S. soil.
“It is not a potential of Ebola spreading widely in the U.S.,” director Thomas Friedman told reporters on a conference call Thursday. “That is not in the cards.”
But while the CDC downplays the potential threat, emergency planners behind the scenes have been getting ready since as early as April of this year. In a report presented to Congress while the virus was spreading in West Africa, the Department of Defense said that it has dispatched biological detection kits to National Guard units in all 50 states with the capability of diagnosing the virus in infected patients in as little as 30 minutes.
And, in a move that raised some eyebrows this morning, President Obama amended a 2003 Executive Order that gives the Federal government, as noted by Paul Joseph Watson, the power to “mandate the apprehension and detention of Americans who merely show signs of respiratory illness.”

Morristown, TN Doctor Home After Ebola Evacuation

Arrogant asshat government bureaucrat. I'm sure there were the same kind of people telling the President back before 9/11/2001 "there's no problem with terrorists here."
His agency has been more concerned with the diseases of handguns, spousal abuse, racism, and bias against Islam - whatever than it has been actually living up to its name.
The problem with this grandiose plan is that, once you “diagnose” that someone has Ebola with your cute little kit, it’s too late.
If you like your ebola, you can keep it.
Even one victim of his stupidity is way too much. Send him back to Africa.
Bttt
I don’t know who nicknamed him Barack Hussein Ebola but they nailed it.
Ahhhhhhhh. So THAT'S what he's up to.
Untrue. I'm 'eyes on the ground' there. I was stunned and pleasantly surprised when, after Obama broke the law AGAIN and EO'd the CDC to write an anti-gun report, defied him and stuck to science. They concluded that suicides with guns were a large portion of deaths, that the 'youths' killed by guns were mostly aged 17-26, and that there were many MANY legitimate defensive uses of guns. I was very proud of them.
Yes, they do have a spousal-abuse team. I suppose that makes sense.
They have utterly no teams or assignments around the topics of racism or Islamic stuff.
Finally, and as a neat aside, they are one of the few Fed Agencies WITHOUT a SWAT team.
If the current patients are treated successfully, they will use that as an excuse to bring thousands here to the USA, to be put on 0bamacare and given citizenship and EBT cards.
Unthinkable? Sorry. Everything this administration does is beyond the pale.

Ping...
Doctor: You say you're having trouble breathing?
Patient: Yes.
Doctor: Well, let me start by asking a few questions. First, are you a registered Republican or DemocRAT?
you’re right...everything (war,crime,poverty,disease) will be labeled a humanitarian relief issue and demanding special refugee status via being coached to say some magic words to an immigration judge.
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
