Texas Drops The Ebola Ball - Secessionist Gov Perry Calls On Cdc For Help

[Statistikhengst]

Ebola has been around since the seventies, we should have stopped all international travel since then.

Yes, let's go full isolationist and hold lots and lots of baptist revivals.

 

[Political Junky]

So, let Me get this straight.

The PRESIDENT drops the ball and allows infected aliens into the country with deadly diseases, allows them to land in Texas, and Texas is just supposed to sit back and allow the fuck-up of the feds to be a drain on THEIR resources?

What the President did by allowing this traveler to enter the country is an act of war on Texas and the rest of America.

The guy was checked out before boarding the plane heading for the US. He was not contagious at that point.

 

[Mad Scientist]

A I recall, it wasn't Texas that said "Send us yer Ebola patients".

Ebola patient told hospital he had been to Liberia
Ebola patient told hospital he had been to Liberia
"""At a news conference Wednesday, hospital officials said a triage nurse performed the recommended screening — asking about his symptoms and his travel history — but her report wasn't communicated to the rest of his health care team. Duncan is now in serious but stable condition, according to hospital officials.

Mark Lester, executive vice president at Texas Health Resources, said the patient "volunteered that he had been to Africa in response to the nurse operating the checklist and asking that question."

That information "wasn't present" as the man's health care team made its decision about whether to admit or release him, Lester said.""""

And now Rick Perry, Uber-Secessionist for Texas, is relying on help from the CDC to get this situation under control. Bahahahahahahahaahahahahahaha.......It just doesn't get better than that.

Typical.

The conservatives bash government. Say that government is the problem.

Yet a private hospital didn't do it's job and now innocent people may have been exposed to ebola.

perry is now running to the government for help. The government he proudly has said he hates.

The government is the solution in this case and many others.

 

[Synthaholic]

Too bad our current regime has seen fit to completely ignore their charge to protect the American public and has allowed both of these diseases to be disseminated into the population.

How did they do that, retard?

 

[R.C. Christian]

Politicizing Ebola in a Red state. Predictable commie propaganda from a blue state bitch.

If your precious government had been doing it's job then Ebola man wouldn't be here.

 

[Synthaholic]

Texas don't need big gubmint.....until they do

Big gubmint allowed the dood in, Texas does not administer the FAA, or immigration. I do believe the Bama administration sued states when they tried.

Do progressives think things through before posting crap?

Texas allowed the plane to land in Texas, dumbass.

It's not the United States that has to check out people leaving a foreign country. It's done when they arrive.

The patient didn't fly directly from Liberia to America. He made some stops along the way.

He was checked out in Liberia. In fact he was given a test and passed that test. So there was no reason to keep him off that plane;

Travels, travails of Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan - CNN.com
Was he screened for Ebola before getting on the plane?

Yes, according to Jay Nagbe Sloh, the director-general of the state-run Liberia News Agency.

Duncan was tested "like all other passengers" at Roberts International Airport, located about 60 kilometers (35 miles) east of the capital Monrovia, said Sloh. "He showed no Ebola signs" -- such as high fever, sweating, vomiting or weakness -- "when tested."


A person won't test positive for ebola until they have symptoms. So it's nearly impossible to prevent someone who has the disease but no symptoms from testing negative on a test for the disease.

However once he was showing symptoms, the private religious hospital he went to in Texas dropped the ball. They didn't follow proper procedures and they allowed him to walk around spreading the disease.

Now that the private hospital in Texas has help unleash ebola in Texas rick perry has called int he government to clean up the mess.

Aren't you conservatives the ones screaming about how private business is much better than the government? How that government is the problem and private business is the solution?

Yet private business is the problem here and the government has been called in to solve the problem the private hospital allowed to happen.

Sadly his pick for ss wasn't up to that task.

Shortstop?

For Right-Wingers there is: he's Black.

Another example of RW hypocrisy.

They whine about TSA and airport security being too invasive but then lie about the job they do.

Apparently, they don't know that ebola cannot be diagnosed until AFTER the victim shows symptoms which happened in the Texasss hospital AFTER the patient was already in the country.

Why are you guys all trying to make political jabs? Both dems and repubs are screwed up and both lie with talking points and mislead. Apparently you have never been at an overseas location going through the airport. It's really easy to get on a plane it's not until customs in the states that is gets crazy. It's what came after from the hospital to the supposed quarantine the family was under and the fact they were left alone. This is not something that you can make mistakes about and it has been embarrassing to watch.

Well, since I live in Europe and fly quite frequently I can say to you with great confidence that that statement of yours that I bolded and put in red came right out of your ass. Ever tried boarding at Schipol? At Paris Nord? At Tegel? At Heathrow? At Munich International? And above all else, at Frankfurt am Main - arguably the busiest Flughafen (Airport) in all of Europe? Their boarding policies and routines are FAR stricter than in the USA, I guarantee you that.

But you are right, it IS embarrassing to watch Righties try to turn a health issue into a political football. The real truth is that the USA has literally thousands of ports of entry and there is no way in hell to secure them all. Pathogens could be in a small box in a crate of goods that arrive per ship in Portland, OR or Miami, FL or Boston, MA or on the coast of Lousiana - and would probably get through. And virus testing is also not 100% sure. So, either we are adults and realize that a sickness appearing somewhere else on this planet may also hit our shores and that would not be the fault of any one political party or president, no matter how well liked or hated, or we can, as I already wrote, go full isolationist and hold baptist revival meetings.

When the Swine-Flu hit the USA in the summer of 1976, in the middle of a presidential election, Democrats did not make a political football out of it. They realized that it was a health issue and not a political issue. Of course, 36 years later a Republican who is dumb as a box of rocks, namely, Michele Bachmann, went on TV and said that the Swine-Flu outbreak was during the Carter administration, but it was not. It was during the Ford administration. But that was not Ford's fault.

That's the difference between Democrats and Republicans: Democrats put Country before party. Republicans? the other way around. Despicable.

And not one single Rightie here has even wished that sick person hit with Ebola well. They don't give a flying fuck about that person himself, all they care about is the political hay they can make out of it.

Spit.

Typical. A foaming retard slings mud and thinks it makes him look smart. Show us where Perry says he hates government.
