Bottom line on #Ebola in US: we will stop it in its tracks. CDC has 9 person team doing thorough contact tracing & followup.

“[W]e will stop it in its tracks.”
That tweet, from CDC director Thomas Frieden, way posted waaaay back on October 1st. Things look rather different now that Ebola has spread to two health care workers who treated “patient zero” Thomas Duncan.
...
The big picture is that the U.S. #Ebola case is a reflection of the epidemic in W. Africa. We’ll stop it here.

#Stop Ebola /S
Commissar Frieden is directly responsible for this Texas outbreak. This arrogant Obama acolyte was more interested in implementing Obama’s one world/no borders ideology than protecting the health of Americans. He has not and cannot give a rational explanation why direct and indirect commercial air service which allows infected people to come into the United States was not stopped. He ought to resign and go to Africa to offer his “expertise”.
Ebola! The DemocRATS’ “October surprise!”
agreed. he seems to be more interested in being a politican than a doctor and a scientist. it’s kind of shocking, really.
No, Mr. Community Doctor – let's stop it THERE
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...
WAS HE NOT PAID TO FORESEE AND PREVENT EXACTLY THIS KIND OF SCENARIO?
Placing incompetent and political people in power to protect you will eventually kill you.
Now we know why Obama fired all those generals.
God help America as we are defenseless.
Ebola, like Benghazi came at a very inopportune time for dems.
Benghazi threatened to de-rail Obama’s narrative regarding “mission accomplished in the Middle East." Therefor, it was decided to deflect blame as quickly as possible away from O.
Ebola raises similar concerns. The last thing Obam wants to do is try to manage Ebola in an aggressive way. That would send a signal that “The Great One” is somehow not in charge of “The Universe.”
An all out “close the borders” “stop the flights” strategy would also reflect poorly on his regular golf schedule.
He is trying to sweep Ebola under the rug, with the hope that the S won't HTF until after the mid-terms.
All they care about is gaining and holding power. Every move they make can be tied to this one principle.
Well said!
Ebola, Obama’s answer for shovel ready jobs...
The mission is to confiscate firearms, expand Obamacare, and open our borders. Details like controlling disease are outside his job description running the Centers for Disease Control.
Bump. It's all political calculation. Thank goodness these idiots cannot do their multiplication tables or they would be ten times worse.

Hubris...gets people killed.
The government that couldn’t do a website is going control Ebola?
CDC has been impressive with the keystone cops response.
Surgeon General missing in action.
We are colossally stupid as a country to accept this level of incompetence.
