RE: Ebola confirmed in the US!
Our official reaction system and yours are very similar.
Priority #1= control panic.
priority #2= protect officials political positions
priority #3= deal with the actual disease while heaping on piles of political verbiage
More cases are being shipped back home from the hot zone for treatment. News men seem to think they are immune from infection while covering the story and several have come down with the disease even though they have had no direct contact with a victim or dead body. These cases are not being revealed to the public until after the individual has arrived and is in the hospital.
The government is requiring all reports (100%) of "Ebola like symptoms" be reported to the CDC. Problem is that ebola symptoms and flu symptoms are the same and this is the beginning of our flu season. The system will soon be swamped and useless.
OR
They will isolate all flu patients, just in case.
Can you imagine going to the doctor with the flu and finding yourself placed in an ebola isolation unit for observation???
