Next potential hot spot. Two words. Chicago marathon. Taking place right now. Thousands of people from around the world. Lot's of sweating, puking, spitting, shared water stations, plenty of close contact. Perfect spot to spread it if one was so inclined.

I'd be more concerned with lead poisoning running thru Chicago streets than Ebola transmission. (And I am not down playing the severity of the Ebola contagion)

And there's another. The gang that can't shoot straight says not to worry.

Totally misleading, of course. But who would actually expect the article (or you) to tell it like it is. The guy wants to take money appropriated for HHS and use it to combat Ebola. He's not saying to "use Obamacare to fight Ebola".

And you moonbats wonder why the mainstream media is going broke from lack of viewership.

The funding is embedded in the ACA, therefore the hypocrisy is accurate.

Only Fox is watched anymore, therefore we have a rightwing media.

You can make up whatever facts you want, Ricter. Won't make 'em true. But then, as you always say, this campaign won't be dictated by fact checkers.

Only Fox is watched anymore, therefore we have a rightwing media.

Quality is right wing. Quantity is still left wing - by far.

CNN now reporting that this 2nd person was on a plane day before yesterday. 132 passengers possibly infected. Now trying to track those people down. Who knows how many people these 132 came in contact with.
It's already been demonstrated we're not prepared to deal with this. Already demonstrated they can't contain it even in a hospital controlled environment. Only takes one, just one out in the street for a day or two and this blows up exponentially. Tell me that is not inevitable given the way we travel.

And the simple answer was to ban travel into the US from countries where Ebola already existed. Can you imagine what it will look like when we have hazmat crews heading into neighborhoods trying to clean up and disinfect houses, apartments, vehicles ...

Of course if we had a president with half a brain we'd not be in the current situation.

It's ironic that the left is always lecturing us that we have to follow science not politics. So now, when we have a deadly threat, a real threat not a fantasy one like they speciliaze in, they follow PC politics instead of basic science.
