Everything's under control.

Our government is in charge.

What could go wrong?

Not the sort of thing I like to see on the news.

Should have sent him to Gitmo!

Doesn’t seem to be a popular opinion around here, but I think bringing them back for treatment is exactly the right thing to do. That’s assuming they can receive treatment here that’s superior to that in Africa.

We should never abandon our own for convenience, or even for safety. No more Benghazis!

Which is not to say that the government won’t screw it up.

With all of the incompetents and “rogues” we’ve got working for the Federal government right now, I don’t think it’s going to be long before we hear a loud, OOPS! “Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy”.

Big mistake.

I support Samaritan’s Purse but am very unsure if wisdom is being followed in allowing other Ebola-patient-treating Purse doctors to return on commercial airflights to the USA without first undergoing lengthy quarantining in Africa.

So if the doctor was doing all the right things to protect himself how did he get it?

Gitmo doesn’t seem like such a bad idea - however if it’s transmitted regardless of hazmat gear then even being in Gitmo wouldn’t ensure safety - unless everyone who went there never left.

I was really surprised he walked in.

Considering we have a covert Islamic enemy agent posing as our POTUS, this stinks as yet another one of his side scams.

Sanitation and other relevant overall conditions in African hospitals are not even vaguely similar to those in US hospitals.

Individual attention to PPE can only do so much.

Ebola probably isn’t an issue for everyday people in Western countries, but there are certain demographics, namely queers and recreational drug users, whose weakened immune systems undoubtedly make them highly susceptible.

I’m actually waaaay more concerned about the 30 some-odd Peace Corps volunteers who are coming home from Liberia ASAP.
There are two of them who are currently quarantined there because they attended a woman who subsequently died of Ebola. They have not so far shown signs of disease. The rest of the crew are due to arive stateside any day now. They have been screened in-country by medical officers who work with Peace Corps, and have been OK’d to travel, but who knows if they are currently incubating the virus???
From the sounds of it, Liberia is a crime-ridden, pestilent hellhole.

BHO & Co. will find a way to create yet another unnecessary crisis for his own enjoyment.

What are these two nut cases doing in Ebola territory? He was there as a doctor trying to help. He accomplished nothing because now he has it and 99% chance will die from it while performing as a human Guinea pig for CDC ghouls

Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, which has one of four facilities in the country designed to handle such cases

How are these 4 ebola facilities different from the 20 facilities we've seen maps on?

EGADS! Talk about lie after lie after contradictory lie in that article. Every other sentence was the opposite of the one before. Either the author is an idiot or the sound bites the msm are given are confusing for a reason. If all the treatment these two Americans were getting was hydration then there was NO reason to bring them to the US. Absolutely no reason.

If I were a patient at Emory I would definitely be checking myself out and calling family for a ride home.
