Incompetence and malfeasant is the coat of arms of Obama’s administration
The Centers for Disease Control Changed Its Ebola Prevention Page on September 19, 2014. Why?

PREVENTION
PARAPHRASING SOCRATES, THE CDC ADMITES THAT ALL THEY KNOW IS THAT THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT EBOLA.
CDC edited out the following text on Sept 19:
Because we still do not know exactly how people are infected with Ebola, few primary prevention measures have been established and no vaccine exists. When cases of the disease do appear, risk of transmission is increased within healthcare settings. Therefore, healthcare workers must be able to recognize a case of Ebola and be ready to use practical viral hemorrhagic fever isolation precautions or barrier nursing techniques. They should also have the capability to request diagnostic tests or prepare samples for shipping and testing elsewhere.
Why did the CDC edit all of that information out? Did the science change, or did the government make the edit for some other reason(s)?
There is no FDA-approved vaccine available for Ebola.
OBAMA OPEN US BORDERS TO A DOUBLE WHAMMY - TERRORISM AND EBOLA
Doomsday warning: UN Ebola chief raises ‘nightmare’ prospect that virus could mutate and become airborne - making it much more infectious
United Nations warns Ebola virus currently plaguing West Africa could become airborne
The longer it moves between human hosts the greater possibility of mutation.
The risk grows the longer virus is living within the human ‘melting pot’ NGOs have said the Ebola virus is currently infecting five people every hour.
More than 3,300 people have died from Ebola since the outbreak first began.
Officials call for 1,000 new Sierra Leone isolation centers to contain virus British survivor says ‘horror’ of children dying from disease must be avoided.

From Pigs to Monkeys, Ebola Goes Airborne

Ebola has a 21 days incubation period before the infested person show symptoms. The CDC maintains that a person infested with Ebola cannot transmit it until they show symptoms of the disease. How can they assure that the person cannot infest another person after 10, 15, or 19 days of being infested by the virus while still not showing symptoms of the virus? The CDC falsely assure the American people that it cannot be transmitted by air although studies in Canada seems to prove otherwise.
When news broke that the Ebola virus had resurfaced in Uganda, investigators in Canada were making headlines of their own with research indicating the deadly virus may spread between species, through the air. The team, comprised of researchers from the National Centre for Foreign Animal Disease, the University of Manitoba, and the Public Health Agency of Canada, observed transmission of Ebola from pigs to monkeys.
They first inoculated a number of piglets with the Zaire strain of the Ebola virus. Ebola-Zaire is the deadliest strain, with mortality rates up to 90 percent. The piglets were then placed in a room with four cynomolgus macaques, a species of monkey commonly used in laboratories. The animals were separated by wire cages to prevent direct contact between the species. Within a few days, the inoculated piglets showed clinical signs of infection indicative of Ebola infection. What do these findings mean? That there is no assurance that Ebola cannot be transmitted by air.
Doctor Boards Atlanta Flight In HazMat Suit To Protest “Lying CDC”
Zero Hedge ^ | 10/2/14 | Tyler Durden
“If they’re not lying, they are grossly incompetent,” said Dr. Gil Mobley, a microbiologist and emergency trauma physician from Springfield, Mo. as he checked in and cleared Atlanta airport security wearing a mask, goggles, gloves, boots and a hooded white jumpsuit emblazoned on the back with the words, “CDC is lying!” As The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports, Mobley says the CDC is “sugar-coating” the risk of the virus spreading in the United States.
PREVENTIVE MEDICINE EXPERT: OBAMA ‘UNDERLAYING’ EBOLA RISK. on Breitbart TV 2 Oct 2014
http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-TV/2014/10/02/Preventive-Medicine-Expert-Obama-Underplaying-Ebola-Risk
Dr. Elizabeth Lee Vliet, a preventive medical specialist who practices in Texas and Arizona, who has served as Adjunct Associate Professor in Family Medicine at the University of Arizona College of Medicine, Assistant Professor in Family Medicine at Eastern Virginia Medical School, and Medical Director for the Women’s Program at Maryview Hospital accused the government of “underplaying the risk” of the Ebola virus, and seemed to argue that flights from countries with large Ebola outbreaks should not be allowed into the US on Thursday’s broadcast of “The Laura Ingraham Show.”
Dr. Vliet said that the government is not doing everything it could to protect Americans from the virus. Speaking on the prospect of a flight ban and the contention that only individuals who are showing symptoms of the virus can transmit it, she said “viruses mutate and change, and so to say anything with 100% certainty when you are dealing with viruses that change is medically irresponsible.” And that “no one can say with 100% certainty” when someone becomes infectious, and this is the reason why European nations have halted flights from countries like Liberia.
She further wondered why the American recently diagnosed with Ebola was not stopped, asking “why wasn’t he stopped at customs, why wasn’t he screened then, why wasn’t he quarantined as they’re doing in other countries?”
Dr. Vliet also declared that President Obama is “underplaying the risk to Americans, and I think when we have evidence going back to the Reston lab accident in Virginia a couple decades ago, of potential airborne transmission, the Canadian government has said that airborne transmission was strongly suspected [we should be more cautious].”
One article said the Ebola victim vomited in the parking lot on the way to the hospital. Ebola can survive several in that vomit. All it takes is for a dog or cat to start licking it to spread Ebola to several more households.
“It appears that culturally African people have a great misunderstanding and disbelief of modern science”
My boss used to travel to South Africa every few years. When he was there, some prominent politician was under fire for sleeping with an underage girl, who was related to him somehow.
The politician’s response: “Its not a problem, because I took a shower”.
What does this mean? Well, in South Africa, it was not politically damaging to have an affair, or sleep with an underage girl, or even commit incest. That was no problem. The only thing that was politically damaging was the fact that he had not practiced ‘safe sex’ rules, in and AIDS ravaged land - and set a bad example. And his response about the shower - apparently a large portion of the population is of the belief that its ok to have unprotected sex with people who may have HIV....just as long as you take a shower.
“I read a statement like this and thorughly understand why Africa is fundamentally incapable of dealing with this (or any other) disease.”
Hold on, it’s not just Africa. I’ve read posts from members of Free Republic that they would ignore quarantine orders or orders not to enter or leave an area.
And, this isn’t just about Ebola. I’ve seen comments like that for many years from many posters.
When a real problem surfaces, these bunch of leftist dysfunctionals have no idea of what they will do.
The building is on fire and smoke is rising, and they can’t decide whether to run or to remain calmnly seated until the problem can be more clearly defined. They hope that if they wait long enough the problem may go away on its own. But be assured in the meantime they are working on the problem full-time. By the time they feel the heat, it is too late.
There is a lack common sense in leftists.
We the taxpayers are moving them
Who is going to pay for all the goodies? Tax payers via the gubmint?
Why don’t the charities step up?
“There is a lack common sense in leftists.”
There is bungling by the Texan gubmint, police, hospitals, , clean crews, housing, etc.
Blame obola for bringing Ebola, but thank the Texans for infecting the rest.
Of course - curbing an epidemic is a government responsibility ... and has been for a hundred years ... Charity contributions would be nice ... but can’t count on it... The government is supposed to provide protection to the populace is such situations - just the same as protection against criminals...
Your question just makes my head shake ... WOW!
“...thank the Texans for infecting the rest.”
I agree Texas was not prepared to deal with the Ebola situation any better than it did when the illegal children were allowed into the country and dumped here.
Most Texans would like to have seen stricter guidelines applied immediately on the infected person and his contact with the general public after the Ebola diagnosis was confirmed. If the infected person had told us the truth about his Liberian origins and prior contacts with other infected persons, the diagnosis could have been made sooner and precautions taken at that time. Instead he lied and others were at exposed during the interim and are now at risk. How many were exposed is still being determined.
In the rush to confusion, errors were made because no clear CDC guidelines for the diagnosis of Ebola were followed as the symptoms are easily confused with those of other viri. Also common sense was ignored by non-medical persons in positions of authority who did not know or ignored the risks. This is in the process of being reviewed and corrected.
Other states and cities will benefit from our mistakes in this situation. Don’t let your dislike for Texas lead you to believe Texans don’t care and are responsible for “infecting the rest”. Despite the errors, no additional cases have been confirmed yet. But if the Ebola virus is easily transmitted, more are sure to follow.
