Ebola outbreak in Africa

Don't worry the President has been briefed.

Did he watch the news?

He's planning an Executive Order preventing the virus from entering the country. If it does, he'll order a drone strike.

More likely he'll stop spending for infectious disease containment systems and sell it as a reduction in the deficit.

Heaven's no! But an aide told him what was on the news.

No, he watched CNN.

If a case occurs here, you can pretty much guarantee it will be Ebola 24/7 on CNN.

You mean like we have heard 24/7 about the many TB cases occurring? Somehow I doubt it.

Forum rules prevent me from discussing why TB is not talked about on CNN.

Just trying to say that just because something SHOULD be a big story does not mean it will be. If it is politically inconvenient for certain people the story will be buried.

Woman dies walking off of a plane from Sierra Leon in London. Plane is quarantined.

She ended up testing negative for Ebola.

I would hope they are taking everyone's temperature before they board every flight from Africa.

With a disease that has an incubation period of up to 21 days, that'll only catch people who already have symptoms.

Ebola outbreak could be much worse than thought. Many cases not being reported. Now in Monroevia a dense urban center. It holds one quarter of Liberia's population.

Looks like it's only going to get worse. Sad.

Maybe, but it depends on the entry point. If it comes from someone illegally crossing our southern border there will be scant mention of it in the MSM.
