Yeah, because it isn't stupid enough or evil enough to have the regular Army there.Quote:
President Barack Obama issued an executive order on Thursday paving the way for the deployment of National Guard and Reserve forces to West Africa to help contain the Ebola outbreak there.
Under the mandate, the secretaries of defense and homeland security can order to active duty some members of the Selected Reserve and the Individual Ready Reserve mobilization.
Unbelievable. It makes me absolutely furious that that dipshit is sending our military over there.
I am sick and tired of every media outlet regurgitating the CDC line that you can't catch ebola without "contact" with an infected individual. And continuing to say it's impossible to catch by sitting next to someone if you don't touch them. Some examples...
Or thisQuote:
With the first Ebola death in the U.S., should I be worried?
Ebola is actually very difficult to catch. You would only be at risk if you came into very close contact with the blood, saliva, sweat, feces, semen, vomit or soiled clothing of an Ebola patient, or if you had traveled to the impacted areas in West Africa and came into contact with someone who had Ebola.
Or thisQuote:
It's unlikely the virus would spread on an airplane unless a passenger were to come into contact with a sick person's bodily fluids, said Dr. Marty Cetron, director of CDC's Division of Global Migration and Quarantine.
Yet not one of them has bothered to look up the definition of close contact.
Yet not one of the reports even bother to find out what the definition of "close contact" is.Quote:
Instead, Ebola could be considered moderately contagious, because the virus is not transmitted through the air. The most contagious diseases, such as measles or influenza, virus particles are airborne.
Humans can be infected by other humans if they come in contact with body fluids from an infected person or contaminated objects from infected persons.
Every media outlet is using the word "contact" in the context that people physically have to touch infected material or people. But the CDC uses the word "contact" in an entirely different way.
From the CDC
This means sitting on a plane next to someone for a couple hours. This means living in a house with someone. It means being near infected people. But they keep telling us that's no risk even though years of prior guidance totally contradicts everything they say. Arg.Quote:
Close contact
Close contact is defined as
- being within approximately 3 feet (1 meter) of an EVD patient or within the patient’s room or care area for a prolonged period of time (e.g., health care personnel, household members) while not wearing recommended personal protective equipment...

Breaking News: Obama just appointed an Ebola Czar "to monitor the outbreak."
Congrats HOLLOHAS!!!!!
;)
He is okay. He will be flying coach class to Atlanta with the paperwork to show Tom Friedman of the CDC that all of the protocols are being followed properly.
I was first in line but refused the offer. I told them to add me to the no call list and then blocked his number.Quote:

Sounds like a guy named Ron Klain got the job. He is a Democrat insider, a major political operative and lobbist with ZERO experience with emergency preparedness, health care, infectious diseases control, emergency management, interagency coordination or anything else that could be considered experience in handling a situation like this.
In other words, another Bama hack.
