This is a trainwreck!
The CDC director is an absolute MORON! He is getting savaged by Congressmen and they're just asking basic questions!
We are living in the age of incompetence, silliness, arrogance and a belif that "hoping that things will work out" makes it so. We're screwed folks. This hearing is the final talking point for me. YOU MUST WATCH THIS!
UPDATE: Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn is just ripping these dudes apart! I'm loving it. Tennessee needs to re-elect her! I just found a new hero.
UPDATE 1: And so it begins. TheRequimen sent this link. Note that we're not hearing about all the false alarms. When we get reports like this one you can bet that its damn near confirmed. Now shit is about to get real. They might not be able to keep a lid on this past the Christmas season.
UPDATE 2: Alacran sent this link on the US asking Spain to use their bases as a jumping off point for missions into Africa. Wouldn't it be tragic if US troops turn out to be the vector of this disease worldwide instead of the angels bringing relief?
UPDATE 3: Tony made this comment in an earlier post. I originally had it as a separate entry but decided to include it here....

UPDATE from Texas... A military service member was on one of the flights with the infected nurse. The military "suggested" to the family to voluntarily quarantine themselves. Well their kid goes to a school my "buddies" wife teaches at........ Shit just hit home no matter how remote the chance the kid was infected. I heard from my "buddy" only half his wife's class showed up today. Also if the kid ends up having Ebola she will have to be quarantined at home.... Also the statement the school district sent out lied and said the nurse had no symptoms while on her flights.... My "buddy" needs to double check he has 3 months worth of food stocked up in case both their jobs force them into lock down.... by God it may seem small to some, but its deer season and my "buddy" will hate to miss 21 days of it which would put him over the top in food supplies.......... it might suck and just isn't right from the individual perspective....This thing is hitting harder than anyone in authority wants to admit. This will affect the economy. No doubt about it.
