Bummer.
Also, is this the planned October surprise? How's that working out for ya, Obola? Even the college kids are disgusted.
Bummer.
With over 1,000 new arrivals a week from ebola infected countries in Africa, the numbers being watched will soonn skyrocket.
Our government does not even have the talent to assemble a simple insurance sign-up website, who will handle the logistics of tracking the thousands of possible contacts?
Well if this doesn’t stop none of us will be alive, so it might be working out for him very well.

What is the current status of the Duncan family members he was living with? Oddly, no word on it that I know of.
ObamaCare is not about patient health coverage.
ObamaCare is about crony-socialism’s medical bureaucrats’ and providers’ coverage for their positions and power - covering up their corruption, inefficiency and incompetence.
The insertion of EBOLA into the USA by Obama’s hand, ie his policies disregarding public safety (putting it mildly) - a terrorist act if anybody else did it - is a model of how ObamaCare *for medical providers* works.
ObamaCAIR-philes regimentally (”like-minded”) and ruth-less-ly stick to the proscribed edicts, numbers, and statistics of The Party as a mindless gluten.
There is no warfighting. Despite the fact, that EBOLA is in category “B” of NBC warfare, and this *is* war - you either kill EBOLA or it kills you.
To win this war, you must be flexible and willing to exercise outside of officialdom’s constructs, and not restrict yourself to Party orders.
In other words, you have to use the valuable scientific information plus your daring to not get stuck where The Party tries to put you. You must show initiative. That includes daring to be free to express your considerations.
But *that* - your freedom to operate for your and our common defense - is what the Obama Administration is now working to limit; and *that* is why Klain was chosen to be a dictator of information management (ostensibly Ebola “czar”).
Dr. Bob Garry, a scientist at Tulane University, is working harder than ever to get one possible solution—a rapid diagnostic test approved.[Regarding the present, lengthy waiting for symptoms to show ... and the current tests]
It’s the breakdown in care caused by delay that Garry and his team are hoping to fix. The scientists began working in West Africa roughly 10 years ago on another fever called Lassa. Over the course of a few years, they developed a rapid diagnostic test that allowed doctors to give patients a diagnosis on the spot. When the first cases of Ebola began popping up in West Africa, Garry and his team began “fortifying” existing labs they had in the area. In the creation of the Lassa fever test strips, they had also made a similar, but separate, Ebola test. But without any presence of Ebola in the region until this year, they were unable to test them until now.
The value of the rapid diagnostic test lies in its simplicity. It consists of a small white lancet, which requires just a small drop of blood. In 15 minutes or less, a positive or negative line will appear on the test, indicating Ebola positive or negative. "They work like pregnancy tests except its blood," says Garry.
“What our tests would permit one to do is to basically see if a person has Ebola on the spot,” Garry tells me. “They are not perhaps as sensitive as a PCR. That’s a very sophisticated test, but they don’t really have to be. What we’re most interested in doing is coming out with a test that could detect when someone is infectious, immediately.”
The other Quick-Test is the Film Array being used by the U.S. Military.
[M]ilitary news site Defense One reports that doctors could have simply turned on a toaster-sized device called the Film Array and gotten a diagnosis within minutes.
US military doctors sent to West Africa to combat the disease are already using the Film Array, which has more than 90 percent accuracy, according to Defense One.
From BioFire Diagnostics page:http://www.biofiredx.com/about-us/
THE FASTEST WAY TO BETTER RESULTS.
The FilmArray is an FDA-cleared multiplex PCR system that integrates sample preparation, amplification, detection and analysis. It requires just a few minutes of hands-on-time and its turnaround time is just about an hour, giving you faster results which may lead to better patient care.
The FilmArray now has three FDA-cleared panels – the Respiratory Panel, the Blood Culture Identification Panel, and the Gastrointestinal Panel. Together, these panels test for more than a hundred pathogens. Thus, FilmArray is not only the fastest way to better results; it’s the fastest way to more results.
who is watching the watchers?
Pretty much sums up what I was aiming at, in my reply 14.

At first I did not think this was planned. Now I suspect that Duncan was planned and am absolutely convinced that the insane response by CDC is a planned response to an opportunity for terrorism. Nothing else makes sense... these people are not that stupid.
Please call congress and tell them that we must be deadly serious about containing Ebola by strict quarantine within the United States and from infected nations. This is our right and our duty and it is THEIR duty to protect US.
Capitol switchboard is 202-224-3121 or Google your congressman or senator and get his contact information and call him / her office directly. You can also call or go to their local offices.
I believe decisive response is urgent because you can’t put this Ebola genie back in the bottle once it gets out. It is a fire, it consumes all the fuel it can get and the fuel is people. The only way to stop a fire is to block it from the fuel or cool it with water. A vaccine or medicine to treat Ebola would be the water and we don’t have reliable, enough or any.
Every possible measure must be taken to stop the spread before draconian measures are imposed. What is being done now is sloppy. We are walking a dangerous road. The threat is blossoming by the day if not hour. Almost every hour there is some new Ebola development and none of them are good. This is a serious and potentially deadly event. Unchecked it could destroy or weaken the United States and facilitate our destruction by others. It has that potential for every country and that is why so many are responding with such strict quarantines. These consequences, no matter how small the probabilities, demand a full effort and significant response.
Ebola is being spread here in the United States right now. First Texas, then Ohio then? Terror is an excellent weapon. It disrupts, confuses, paralyzes and destroys a society. Many others and we on FR have speculated that terrorists may spread Ebola. How do you that remember 9/11 feel right now compared to what you felt then? Do you want to gather your loved ones near you to protect them? I do. Even more than I did on September 11, 2001! Isn’t this passive response by this administration accomplishing the very same things a terrorist would want?
When something is being done that makes as little sense as what Obama is doing there has to be some other reason. I leave it to you dear reader to draw your own conclusions as to the reasons.
What is happening now is insane. It makes no sense at all. For example the head of CDC says: “Stopping travel from Africa won’t do any good because you have to get people into Africa to fight Ebola.” “You can’t get Ebola from an infected person on a bus but an infected person should never be on a bus because he can infect others.” “Blocking travel from infected countries would damage their fragile economies.” What about ours? What about our safety? What about resources we have paid for that should be protecting us?
Even the most despotic dictatorship in Africa has acted to protect his nation by strict quarantine and stopping travel from infected countries. Even CDC, the UN and WHO advocate and credit strict quarantine for nipping the spread of Ebola in the bud at the source in places like Senegal and Nigeria where both have had faster and more successful outbreak controls than we have had here. 35 countries have stopped travel of people from infected West African countries. It is so obvious even a child could understand it so why is it OK for people from infected countries to travel here?
I will post this message and keep posting it until someone stops me.

1,000 people under watch which no doubt will miraculously rise to 100,000 after the election. “Gee, where did they come from?”
All over the freakin country no less.
This is no issue. In fact I and Others were soundly chastised the other day right here on FR for considering this all a serious threat.
Don’t worry! Be happy!

Dr. Breman 1976: An unusually lethal hemorrhagic fever was sweeping through the region. The virus—which caused fever, headache, vomiting, diarrhea, and rash—resembled malaria, typhoid, Lassa fever, and influenza. Its mortality rate did not. “All the villages are infected,” the director warned Breman. “Virtually all those who have gotten it have died.” So far, the infection was confined to Zaire (now known as the Democratic Republic of the Congo), by chance a place Breman had been earlier in the year as a member of a WHO international team to certify Central Africa smallpox-free.
My father had typhoid when he was 13 and spent a year in a Tulsa hospital and a year at home in bed. I have the letters he wrote home to his mom in Sapulpa OK, asking for lots of chocolate bars. He grew up, was 6 ft 3 1/2 inches - over 200 lbs. But at age 13-14 it was touch and go....
This is so egregious, even the MSM isn’t defending Obama on it.
This is one means by which the true infection count will be delayed prior to election day.
Hey Obama, be a MAN - Implement a travel BAN!!
