Imagine if this outbreak was being enabled on purpose so Obama could have a crisis that he wouldn’t let go to waste?

EVEN if it's the last thing we do!

I don’t trust anything the CDC has to say about Ebloa and its transmission or inability to be transmitted.

Dr. Tom Frieden worked for nanny state Bloomberg and is politically aligned with the left. I don’t trust him. Or any of the other incompetent crony Marxists in this regime.

"That hasn't been my experience.

Well if a major outbreak happens let’s hope it happens in Nancy Pelosis district.

The sister of the Texas Ebola patient says he told officials the first time he went to the hospital that he was visiting ‘from’ Liberia....

Looks like the nurse who got that information dropped the ball.

I used to trust them until I heard about the 3 time assault convict they hired as a security guard who wound up in the elevator with Obola. Then their vaunted reputation for competence went poof, in my mind.

We can’t.

We can’t trust the CDC about ANYTHING -

- especially while it is run by the Obama malAdministration.

The CDC is being far too confident. They say that airline travel is safe, but from my personal experience with leaky johns to vomiting kids..they just can’t make that statement. I have been on flights where the carpets outside the johns were wet..and seats were wet. Especially W.Africa and other hell holes where things just don’t work as planned.
We should be puling the visa’s of people from those countries and not allowing airlines to board them to the US. Only citizens should be allowed to return.
There are no non-stop flights from those countries to the US..so we can’t cut those off.

Two questions which I have yet to hear the pandering press ask CDC:

1. Is the infected man going to get the magic serum which saved the two US citizens infected in Africa a few weeks ago, and transported here for treatment (and a follow up - is the serum in mass production)?

2. If it is a 21 day incubation, the new infected person could have been exposed as early as Sept. 5th. When did he buy his ticket here? In other words, could he have (a) known he was in contact and gotten here asap for superior treatment, or (b) was sent here with the infection on purpose?

I saw the head of CDC interviewed all over this morning (only listened to a couple). They just ate up his dribble without asking either of these questions. At least, I didn’t hear it asked.

If anyone knows if the answer is out there (and I missed it), please share.

Could it be that the CDC suffers from normalcy bias. If our procedures are so great how come the guy in Texas was sent home with an antibiotic first, and wasn't isolated until 2 days later when he was admitted to the hospital?
