...are we bringing the ebola virus into America for the first time ever?

Who made that decision and for what reason?

Sorry... gotta bump this one. If only because of the silence.

That's an indicator that something's not right and our resident pigs know it?

I would like to know who made that decision.

I understand that it is not easy to transmit ebola and that just sitting in a plane where someone with ebola coughs would not likely transmit it............. that said............ somehow two workers who know the risks and took every precaution they knew of to keep from getting it..........got it.

I have mixed thoughts on this.
Those two deserve to come home to get the best care possible.
But
bringing that sort of thing to our country doesn't feel right.

They could have the best possible care where they are. We could send anything and everything necessary for that.

The question as to who and why we didn't remains.

Well...........if it spreads across this country.......... we can blame the government and hope it gets those on the dole first.

But one thing we already know. It's bush's fault.

a) Medical professionals

b) Because these Americans will receive better treatment here than they could in West Africa.

You would want the same thing for yourself, wouldn't you ?
 
Well, the boffins will claim it's pretty safe and only transmitted via contact with fluids. Of course the fact three medical professionals (one dead) took precautions and have it makes no difference. Also, the fact Ebola is a virus and as such they have the capability to mutate (perhaps shifting into a airborne version - who knows?).

Also, how secure should we feel given the recent CDC mishandling of deadly viruses led to their leader being fired only a couple of weeks ago?

Yep.. this makes perfect sense! Time to cull the population?

;)

Nope... I do not see the value at putting 300+ million people at risk for two individuals who knew exactly what they were getting into while treating highly infectious folks in Africa.

Importing it here on the balance of that is just plain stupid. It would have been easier to send specialized gear and treatment to them there or offshore.

That's what I would have thought.

But back to "medical professionals".....at what level was this approved considering the risk? And why? Certainly not by some doctor eager to do research.

The Centers for Disease Control would have most certainly been in the loop and no doubt the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Sylvia Burwell. Would she have had the final say?

In fact Secretary Burwell met with CDC Director Tom Frieden in Atlanta, Georgia three weeks ago on July 8th. And today, August 2, Emory University Hospital in Atlanta will receive the two ebola patients from Africa.

I'm just guessin' but I'd bet that having only been on the job since June and considering the possible catastrophic consequences, the Secretary would have taken up the issue with her boss.

I certainly would have. Wouldn't you?

The question of why is still open.

Agreed. In the bigger scheme of things for our government and country it makes no practical sense to import that deadly virus here within two live carriers unless they wish to:

a) ... :(
b) ... :(
c) ... :(

None of the reasons/scenarios I'd actually put in a,b,c for why our government would permit/do that are good...not a one

Our government has done some stupid things...........and some scary things (and I'm not just referring to this administration)..............but this one is both stupid and scary. I've given it a lot of thought and I think they should have taken the necessary means to deal with the disease to them rather than bringing them to us.

I hope the politics of the matter (something Obama can brag about doing) didn't play into it.
