80 people... Well this Ebola can sit undetected for 23 days. Guess we will know for sure in 4 weeks?

[ThomasMore]

This crisis will cause the U.S. taxpayer a huge amount before it’s over. All because of the PC POTUS POS we have in Washington.

[servo1969]

Political Correctness is going to get millions killed.

[ThomasMore]

oh...and this is a crisis the Alinskyites will not let go to waste....and just in time to distract from the elections.

[PghBaldy]

Ichabod Crane, CDC head, said it was just a “handful.”

re: 80 people came in contact with Dallas Ebola virus patient

Yeah and each of those 80 came in contact with 80 more. And on and on until, by now I would not be surprised if over five million people have been in contact with ebola. Once again the Federals did “one hell of a job”.

[Sir Napsalot]

Why do I get the sense that all Dem operatives (esp. WH bunch) view in terms of how much political gains they can milk out of this ‘crisis’?

I think they truly underestimate (or completely don’t understand) Americans, regular Americans, not just ‘their people’.

[thackney]

A day after the diagnosis was confirmed, a nine-member team of federal health officials was tracking anyone who had close contact with him after he fell ill on Sept. 24. The group of 12 to 18 people included three members of the ambulance crew that took the man to the hospital and a handful of schoolchildren.

On Thursday Zach Thompson with Dallas County Health and Human Services told News 8 that the man may have come into contact with 80 people. Four to five people are being closely monitored and they have been put under a “control order” to stay inside their home. All of them are close family members.

80 is late yesterday’s number. By next week, it will be ESTIMATED to be much higher.

[iontheball]

Those who are infected will now get a chance to test their new ObamaCare package, i.e., take this pill, go stay at home and die quickly.

[ScottinVA]

So might THIS be Obama October surprise for 2014? Facilitate the rapid spread of disease in order to justify the cancellation of election day?

[Zakeet]

Fortunately, they passed ObamaCare just in time!

[servo1969]

[Excellence]

October surprise! The whole country is on 0bola lockdown.

[MarMema]

Overnight jump from 18 to 80.

[Vermont Lt]

The keys to watch are:

1. Are these 80 ID’d?
2. Are they being watched?
3. How many of those 80 will recognize it if they start showing symptoms.
4. How many will hide symptoms?
5. How many will refuse treatment or make a run for it?

80 people can turn into 6,400 pretty fast, and that into 3,400,000 just as fast again.

[TangledUpInBlue]

I just heard there’s a confirmed second case, but I can’t find anything in the news on it yet.

[DownInFlames]

In 4 weeks the 80 can to 80 to the 21st power: 9.2233720368548e+39. Shite. This will change the calculus of the election.

[odawg]

Duncan knew exactly what he was doing. He deserves life in prison.

[Labyrinthos]

This will Obola’s excuse for the massive increases in the cost of Obamacare in the coming weeks.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Actually take 5 days out, since it has been about that long already.

Just 18 more days...
