[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have spoken to many dc area doctors and surgeons and they are terrified that an out break cannot be contained in a hospital. All of them believe that the cdc is not telling the whole truth and it is more contagious than reported. They also believe that we need to disallow travel into the United States from affected countries. It is crazy how different the cdc stance is from the doctors and medical professionals in the hospitals.[/quote]

+1000. [b]The CDC and WHO is so far behind this Ebola outbreak[/b]. They had their chance this spring and did not step up care in Africa. It is too late. Drastic measures are needed. How many times can they board an airplane every time someone vomits? How are the airlines and airports going to keep their bathrooms Ebola free? The CDC blaming this young nurse is just outrageous! Our hospitals are not ready for Ebola neither are the airlines that bring these carriers either.[/quote]

Just so long as you vote Democratic. You know, Republicans have slashed "non-essential" government, and this is the result. Happy? And look over NIH - they'd probably already have a vaccine. http://www.salon.com/2014/10/13/nih_director_ebola_vaccine_would_likely_exist_if_not_for_budget_cuts/ [/quote]

Nice try to play politics here.  Fact is that funding has actually increased in recent years for NIH:

[quote]According to the NIH’s own budget data, it spent $29 billion in 2007, and that rose to $31 billion in 2010. It then dipped to $29 billion in 2013, but rose to $30 billion in fiscal year 2014, which just ended.

According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, funding for global health programs at the State Department and U.S. Agency for International Development are still growing so far. That budget was $6.5 billion in 2008, and grew to $8.2 billion in 2012 before declining to $8.1 billion in 2013.

In 2014, that budget rose again to $8.4 billion.[/quote]
