That link doesn't work for me.
I wonder if dipstick has heard about the Ebola yet.
Assuming you're referring to Oblahblah...he must have been reading the polls/press coverage lately because he actually CANCELLED not one, but TWO FUND RAISERS today...'choosing'(?) instead to meet with his Cabinet re: the Ebola crisis!!! 'AMAZING!!!
Am I being unreasonably skeptical of his motives here by assuming (as I do) that the man who told us we could keep our doctor did this as a 'CYA' move for both him and his party given the fact that 'mid-term elections' are less that 3 weeks away???
Naaaaaaaaah! I'm obviously just a partisan looooooozer who hopes 'political hay' can be made of it. :evil2: :evil2: :evil2:

Our BBC news service is telling us that the US hospital involved does not have the knowledge and equipment to deal with this patient and further outbreaks are inevitable.
Can this be true?

It appears the Dallas Ebola protocols were developed on a trial and error basis. I am not a health care professional but one sticks her finger up my rump once a year. And even with my limited and reasonably unpleasant medical experience, I would know that perhaps if I had been caring for a known Ebola patient who succumbed to the disease, I was running a fever, being "monitored" by the Centers For Disease Control; getting on a commercial airliner might be a really bad idea.
Fortunately, the bureaucrats appear have decided to consolidate patients in facility centers of expertise like Emory in Atlanta and hopefully that will favorably impact events.
Tell the truth, if you were a healthcare specialist, would you hop on an airline after being in contact with any contagious virus, disease, etc.? Airlines are the absolute best place to spread sickness, other than a totally contained room with recirculating air. This is Darwin taken to a new level. Remind me to take a trip to Africa.

People work with and come into contact with FAR more dangerous stuff every day and then go to the mall, get on airplanes, etc. afterwards and no one is freaking out.
Yes, this was not smart. No, it isn't the end of the world. Yes,blaming it on this President or any other President is just stupid.

:stunned::stunned::stunned:
'Latest estimate ('latest as of yesterday) is that Ebola is fatal 70% of the time (up from 50%)...and yet you're claiming we all come into contact with FAR more dangerous stuff every day? Like WHAT, for instance? :squint:

Sure I can.
People work with toxic fluids that would kill you dead every day. Fuck, you probably walked under power lines that if they fell would burn you to a crisp in a second in the last few hours. People work at the CDC or in thousands if not tens of thousands of labs around the country every day and then go home, or to the mall or the gym, etc.
You're being a duped sheeple with this ebola stuff. But carry on wit yo bad seff.

Total apples and ox carts in relation to the subject at hand, Jeff, and you know it...and so does anyone else who's reading this.

No, they aren't. And everyone knows that.
There are things far more dangerous in your daily life than ebola, sheepleman.

From what I have read about Ebola it is not an air borne contagion, but is spread by direct contact? Perhaps some of the medics on the forum could chime in.
