Although he believes Ebola is contained in Texas, where Liberian man Thomas Eric Duncan first showed symptoms of the virus after traveling to the U.S., an infectious disease expert at the National Institutes of Health says it's "absolutely" possible that one of Duncan's contacts will get sick in the coming days.

"I would not be surprised if one of the people who came into direct contact with Mr. Duncan when he was ill will get Ebola. You can't say. You can't put a number on it. It's impossible to do that.

It appears some of the “experts” are starting to come out of the Obama and the ‘RATS denial mode. The America is Bulletproof bull**** isn’t going to fly. Good luck everybody.

This whole GD thing of flying these people in here should be enough to make every American recoil...

Unfortunately, I can’t say how I really feel about these sons a bitches...

Apparently the government flooding this country with literally tens of millions of illegals all points and their never ending reckless chain immigration from every 3rd world country on the planet, wasn’t enough.

Don’t lump Dr. Face in with the rest of the administration idiots. He is the real deal, primarily a research doc and has served at NIH since the Reagan years.
