Ebola - What Should the Gubmint Do?

Samantha Power, Obama's US Ambassador to the United Nations, is currently touring Ebola hot spots inside of Guinea, Africa. She doesn't believe that she should be quarantined following this visit.

I wonder what she's doing that can't be done more efficiently with a series of telephone or video conference calls. Well, I guess you can't shake hands over the phone...and the photo ops are fewer.

I imagine she'll be flying Delta to Dulles rather than Newark to avoid the potential quarantine. Oh wait a minute...she doesn't travel on commercial airlines anyway. Never mind.

Is anyone else as shocked as me that the Falcons and Lions agreed to play in England today considering the Ebola crisis?

Not me.

Those Falcons need to be quarantined from the NFL for 21 days. At least what they've got isn't catching.

Why? They let the cowpatties come to Seattle and play, maybe they should have stopped all flights out of Texas and seal that border.

It might appear as though the Ebola quarentine's imposed by NY/NJ have gone a step too far...a healthcare worker returning from Liberia is suing the state after she says she was made to feel like a criminal...and the quarentine is not grounded in science.

Cuomo also concedes the point that overly strict measures disuade much needed healthcare workers from going to West Africa.

Just sayin....

The Obama has spoken.

Governor Cuomo on 24 October: “In a region like this, you go out one, two or three times, you ride the subway, you ride a bus, you could affect hundreds and hundreds of people.”

Governor Cuomo on 26 October:
"Facing fierce resistance from the White House and medical experts to a strict new mandatory quarantine policy, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said on Sunday night that medical workers who had contact with Ebola patients in West Africa but did not show symptoms of the disease would be allowed to remain at home and would receive compensation for lost income."

DonDiego wishes the citizens of the Concrete Jungle well.

I'll bet she voted for Obama.
