New poster--this thread is appalling to me. Posters seem to be actively rooting for an Ebola outbreak in this country because it would make President Obama look bad. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
Very much like Bush and Kartrina
Only this is much more serious and incompetent .
Nearly 2,000 deaths versus 1. How is this "much more serious"?
The biggest challenge the Obama administration faces is the unnecessary hysteria being generated.

Everything has changed.
We need Romney or somebody to lead. Obama is like a commanding officer who had lost his nerve mid battle and needs to be relieved and replaced.
Fundamentally changing a country has significant downsides.

I think that is also a couple of posters who repeat the same, tired political talking points every page. It's like our own little Rush Limbaugh show.
agree.

Me too. I'm horrified. There are 300 million people in this country. Two healthcare workers have caught it and are being cared for. The frenzy is insane.

The doctor and his missionary assistant who were treated at Emory also seemed to have a 'milder' version of the disease while Thomas Duncan succumbed to Ebola in a terrible way within one week of being admitted to the hospital.
Probably has to do with how quickly they got treated. Pham admitted herself very quickly.

Doctors have long said they don't know who will recover and who will succumb. They've known that different people respond very differently to the virus.
Agreed. I think it's the same as any disease. Some people have good immune systems and can fight off things better, some people have undiagnosed issues that make it harder for them to fight it, some don't have as healthy as a system as others (asthma, drinker, smoker, etc) which likely causes the virus to be able to take over more than someone who was in picture perfect health.

The nurse quarantined in Belize is in good health, showing no symptoms. She is being quarantined as a precaution.
