"I'm president Brak Ubama, and I approve of this virus!"

[DoughtyOne]

I think someone forgot to set the snooze alarm.

[Red Badger]

Imagine all those aircraft flying all over the world, the planes themselves may be contaminated, and spreading the virus on seats, toilets and luggage racks, not to mention baggage handlers and cargo bins..................

[BigEdLB]

Someone ought to infect this IDIOT.

[SeekAndFind]

The incubation period for this virus is 10 12 days and over the next two weeks we will see whether this is a crisis or a speed bump.

This guy from Liberia who flew to Dallas to see family: flew from Liberia to Brussels, from Brussels to London (Heathrow, world’s busiest airport) to Washington DC then from DC to Dallas, with a layover/plane change in each spot. Obviously, the guy had contact with other people IN OTHER COUNTRIES AS WELL !!

Is this a health crisis? Remains to be seen.

But Britain and France have already SHUT DOWN flights from West Africa. We haven’t.

[ealgeone]

Call your sinators today and demand this complete idiot be removed from the CDC. Do it today.

[RayChuang88]

If we get a few more confirmed cases in the USA, watch the Obama Administration change their tune in blink of an eye.

[ilovesarah2012]

And we would believe anything coming from the Obama administration why?

[BigEdLB]

Agree. PC Bureaucrats are examples of PURE EVIL

[Kaslin]

I am just waiting for the 3000 troops that were ordered by the administration to go to Liberia to help there

[omega4412]

Has the CDC caught the same potentially deadly political correctness disease as the Secret Service?

[KirbDog]

And finally, while the CDC says the other passengers on the same planes as Duncan were at no risk of catching the disease because he wasn't showing symptoms, the agency and airline are frantically trying to track down all of the passengers who were on those planes...for some reason

Either the CDC is lying to us or they just have no idea what they are doing. Neither one of those two options give me a warm fuzzy feeling.

[Red Badger]

Having watched the MSM news videos of healthcare workers in hazmat suits getting full washdowns and STILL getting infected with the virus, tells me that this ‘contact with body fluids’ transmission is pure BS...........................

[Mouton]

and blame Congress for dragging its feet.

[PA Engineer]

It seems that they are confusing the language. Flight restrictions are really not necessary. How about 13,500 visa restrictions?

[Darksheare]

4 to 21 days defending upon initial viral load and other factors.

And yes, we should have shut down flights to and from, but our leadership approves of bringing it here.

He needs to be fired.
Today.

Back in the days of Ancient Rome, when Caesar Augustus would make a spelling error, his pride, arrogance and narcissism would cause him to make the misspelled word with his spelling error the new official spelling of that word throughout the Roman Empire.

In a bid to outdo Caesar Augustus in pride, arrogance and narcissism, whenever the Obama Administration makes a huge mistake, rather than admit to their mistake and take corrective action, they just double down on the mistake and refuse to admit their screw up.

Very weird.
