re: Taking in foreign Ebola patients...

1. 30 at a time

Why only 30? More than that are dying in Africa at a time. Why not 100? 1000?

2. Early diagnosed victims reporting to one of US Army built treatment centers.

---

But we will accept ALL Africans with Ebola, correct?

quote:

---

2a. Doctors at treatment centers using guidelines (how sick, age, general health).

---

Who sets those guidelines? The CDC? Their track record has been pretty terrible as of late, in regards to Ebola.

quote:

3. We do.

---

Why are we responsible, financially, for all disease victims in AFrica? Better yet, why are we stopping at Ebola? Surely africans are dying of other diseases. And why are we just stopping at diseases? Why aren't we feeding and clothing ALL AFRICANS? Seems pretty callous that only Ebola victims get preferential treatment. And why only Africa? Why aren't we solving the ENTIRE WORLD'S problems at our expense?

4. Zero. We have NIH and CDC doctors along with volunteer doctors like Doctors Without Borders. What is better for the volunteers is that they work in a very controlled environment in the US as opposed to West Africa so volunteers are more available.

---

Wait, so we hold zero liability when the administration mandates we treat foreign diseased individuals, and our healthcare workers are infected? That is not living in the real world. You know, for a fact, that we will be liable to treat our own. But you say we don't have to? So we must treat foreigners and ignore our own citizens? Great thinking chief.

5. Zero. We don't forcibly quarantine doctors who work in the US even if they work with infectious diseases.

---

And if they spread the disease to other people? Just let them go about too? ARe you really that stupid? You are advocating we accept and quarantine, at the taxpayers expense, every human in Africa with Ebola, yet you don't want us to treat our own population, and you are advocating the countrywide spread of Ebola, because you are afraid of inconveniencing someone?

I would like your response to my counterpoints. Something tells me you won't give it, though.
