The other thing that’s little-discussed is they still don’t know the source of Ebola.
They’ve now let it onto this Continent. Once it’s in the wild, we’ll never get rid of it.
I described their actions prior as ‘treachery’ (bringing it here on purpose).
I repeat that.
I still maintain that the current US Ebola ‘crisis’ is a manufactured crisis.
However, while it currently will likely mutate in Africa in its natural environment, if it gets into the wild in a new environment (the Americas), all bets are off and the Government can only blame themselves (and we will have to hold them to the fire).
Looking at the expense and danger of having ONE patient with ebola, stopping just ONE traveler with ebola would make travel restrictions a great success. Don’t they see that ?
“So the only way to reduce the infections in West Africa is to let the infected come here and infect Americans, brilliant analysis. What next, we should fight house fires with high pressure gasoline hoses?”
I’ve stolen that line and forwarded it to a bunch of people. Maybe the meme can spread, and Obola can be Alinsky’d into changing policy.
AFRICA STEMS EBOLA VIA BORDER CLOSINGS, LUCK
...Nigeria is another success story. It had 20 cases and eight deaths after the virus was brought by a Liberian-American who flew from Liberia to Lagos, Nigeria's commercial capital of 21 million people, in July. Nearly 900 people were potentially exposed to the virus by the traveler, who died, and the disease could have wreaked havoc in Africa's most populous nation
“Closing the border to fight Ebola is a dumb as putting a cast on a broken arm: After all we are trying to make the arm the way it was so why cinch it up to keep it from moving?” Thank you CDC, now shut the f$%k up and get out of the way. We have a country to save.
“To completely seal off and don’t let planes in or out of the West African countries involved, then you could paradoxically make things much worse in the sense that you can’t get supplies in, you can’t get help in, you can’t get the kinds of things in there that we need to contain the epidemic.”
This man is an idiot. NOBODY is saying that we just close it off. We’re saying that ONLY the emergency personal and supplies be allowed in and out. And it should be done in a controlled way.
It must be "American Exceptionalism"...Oh wait...
Obola doesn't believe in that.
Closing borders would be a disaster...?
Only if Mexico dos not have catapults. /s
Historical comment, I have read that invading armies would catapult plague victims into under siege castles and towns.
