All the fear mongers saying Ebola has gone airborne and an outbreak in the US is imminent if we don't burn, kill or treat all potential Ebola patients and healthcare workers like criminals....have proven to be wrong.

The only person that didn't fully recover from Ebola was too far along because he got turned away from healthcare.

So if you drop that from the statistics.. The Ebola survival rate in the US is 100%.

Obama's handling of this crisis was actually quite impressive.

because PONZI!

You just said "Ponzi"; you must be very perceptive and insightful. Rare is the commentator so gifted with extreme insight as to employ that word!

To further burnish your already glowing reputation - solely as a result of connecting an event to Charles Ponzi - you can employ the terms "black swan," "red herring" and "false flag"; use all these terms, and you ascend to the status of a Hegel, Locke, Hume and - dare I say it? - even von Mises among Internet gasbags.

Von Mises is God, even more powerful than the CRA meme.

That sound you heard was a solitary tear rolling down my cheek onto my keyboard.

I'll need a moment...

Nice strawman Boom and Bust.

AFAIK, the following people made the claims you are stating: no one.

Yes, he is being hyperbolic in the claims, but I believe is really saying that there were so many doomsayers, and people happy to re-gurgiatet the media fear storm that was whipped up around Ebola.

Asking for people who returned from West Africa AND who had direct contact with Ebola patients to be quarantined, and asking that people be screened when entering the U.S. from those western african nations is being a doomsayer?

Again, not aware of doomsaying and fear storm. I'm only aware of criticism of the cdc and the presidency for being opposed to those common sense steps.

What's the difference? We're all doomed.

That news helicopter shot of those idiots hosing down that sidewalk - I tell you, that was the end! - means it's an airborne aerosol now. The air flow out of the Gulf has spread it through most of the Mountain and Central time zones.

Get your affairs in order.

If you must, use numerous exclamation points or question marks.

I always figure if I ever convert to ALL CAPS UPPER CASE ANGRY LET-ME-GET-THIS-STRAIGHT CONSERVATIVE PATRIOTISM, I'll burn through punctuation like it's cannabis sativa.

And,,, don't forget,,, the hallmark of wignuttic writing,,, is using commas,,, to make,,, an ellipsis.

You forget two of the people got sick here, because as you put it we turned people away. Yeah we're 100% when we catch people we know might have it because of their flight itinerary. Because we missed one.

It spread in Africa some how, it didn't just go around spreading itself.

Leave it to a lawyer

He's NOT a lawyer...

What happened to all the ebola gloom and doom postings from you and captain dopedup? What happened to EXPONENTIAL, your favorite word for months? No new cases for 2 months in senegal and nigeria. New cases falling in liberia. New cases static in guinea. New cases rising slowly in sierra leone. Where is the exponential? Where is the pandemic? Gee everything is working out pretty much just like the experts said it would, why aren't you shouting the joyous news from the rooftops.

Cap, has dope eaten that much of your brain? Who did we turn away? You screamed for months about all the people we weren't turning away. Now you are saying (I think. It's hard to figure out what is actually being said with this yogi berra level of mangled syntax, klingon sentence structure, and plain old bad grammer. Where is the captain to english translator app) we did well because we turned so many people away? Do you have any short term memory left at all?

Conservatives lack either memory or integrity and honesty, because they are wrong or deceitful about so many things but have so few consequences for being so.

Didn't Rand Paul, Conservative patnet hero, run with the airborne Ebola propaganda?

Aren't the conservative nuts the ones that think the government assholes manipulate everyone to further their own ends?

Except when they pimp unscientific fear, and have an (R). Cognitive dissonance?

Obama has weaponized Ebola.

He has under wraps... for now.

But it WILL be trotted out again next election. But this time the threat will be in the open. If Democrats aren't swept into power & the head of Roger Ailes delivered to his desk, EbolaCare planes will crop-dust all the Red States.

Hey, I was a little panicky like everyone else.. But I didn't believe the airborne crap for a second. I also didn't think there was some huge conspiracy either. But, I understood why travel bans for the healthy and quarantines for everyone within a few feet of an Ebola patient was impractical.

I actually thought the best way to battle it was to incentivize those people that we knew had contact with Ebola to be quarantined. The healthcare workers that flew and traveled might have stayed put if their planned flights were refunded and they were paid for time off from work while they were in quarantine. Once you force people into quarantines you create fear and resentment. The cost to compensate people fairly to stay in a quarantine would be well worth it.

Wow. It's that dog scooping his own poop?

I gotta try and train my dog to do that, ,,,,,
