Funny. That's precisely where I was going with you and your proximity to Obama.
Sure it was

Exactly as predicted. Ebola was caused by the Republicans. SHEILA JACKSON LEE: I’m frustrated we didn’t take the initial encounter in Dallas at the level that it should have been. The county officials have been excellent, but the fractured infrastructure, and understanding what was happening to Mr. Duncan did not translate to those front liners, the nurses and techs and others. That is unfair to them. I’m frustrated with that. I will also say that Center For Disease Control suffers from the continued gridlock in Washington and Republicans not funding fully even though the fight against Ebola is bipartisan, the CDC and NIH has suffered in its funding.https://grabien.com/file.php?id=27109&searchorder=date

That had already been established when we cut funding.

You cannot "cut" your way to profitability as a company, and you cannot "cut" your way to better government services - in exactly the same way!

I don’t share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently. I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

Saw a Facebook post today. Ok, government says Ebola is hard to get, yet 2 trained nurses in full hazmat gear got it. Mmmmkay.
What caught my attention in one news story was how they were keeping an eye on one homeless person who had had contact with the patient in Dallas, but then they lost track of the homeless person. They did find him later. But despite how great and modern our society is, you suddenly start to see how some things we don't pay much attention to, could be the weak link that could get things to turn ugly real quick.

Interlude moment....
Say "Ebola" to yourself in exactly the same way the commercials say "Riccola...." Fits perfectly.

I have seen on twitter several sources claiming the CDC approved on Ebola exposed nurse to travel by air with symptoms. I guess that too was a result of funding cuts.

Here's one source.
Probably shouldn't ask the receptionist at the CDC.

Nearly the same as asking the intern at the NTSB:

This doesn’t help matters, the internet and social media are great places to spread misinformation. An article appeared yesterday claiming that CIDRAP had determined ebola could be transmitted via airborne particles. University of Minnesota knocks down claim of new Ebola risks Ebola anxiety spread rapidly on social media Wednesday when inaccurate articles and tweets claimed that University of Minnesota infectious disease experts had determined the deadly virus has become airborne — a claim quickly shot down by the U. A Twitter user with the name @UnivMinnNews, which uses the U logo but is not an official university account, spread the claim — citing an article in the alternative news site Inquisitr. That story cited a commentary posted on the website of the U’s Center for Infectious Disease Control and Policy (CIDRAP). The published commentary, however, doesn’t make that claim, U officials pointed out. It only states that “people should understand the potential for a virus to become airborne.” And while it was posted on the CIDRAP website, it was written by an unaffiliated researcher from Chicago. “CIDRAP is not saying [Ebola] is airborne,” spokeswoman Caroline Marin said Wednesday afternoon. “There is always the possibility that diseases can mutate.” The false claims spread rapidly on social media, and seemed to stoke fears already heightened by the discovery that a second nurse in Texas became infected at a hospital that treated the first U.S.-diagnosed case of Ebola. Ebola spreads through contact with infected bodily fluids such as blood and saliva — unlike seasonal influenza, which can be airborne. The current Ebola outbreak is centered in west Africa, where more than 8,000 people have suffered infections and 4,000 have died. CIDRAP’s director, Michael Osterholm, said last week that he doubts there will be widespread transmission of Ebola in the U.S., or cases in Minnesota. http://www.startribune.com/lifestyle/health/279361722.html
