Thankfully, what lay people think about Ebola is completely and totally irrelevant.

What anyone thinks about Ebola is irrelevant.

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but this is the first scenario that entered my mind when I began thinking of how it could be a threat to the USA.
Having Obama knob-gobblers make fun of it doesn't change my mind about that possibility one iota.
eta - I am equally concerned about having our military assigned to those areas. I am afraid a lot of them are going to 'not follow protocol' in the coming weeks,

Ah there it is, good old liberal subservience.
How dare us common folk question the "experts"? The experts are infallible. Whatever the people that are paid more say, should be good enough for us peons, right?
Let me ask you lefties this. You all hate and despise the rich folk, yet all people in power are the rich folk, and you demand we simply accept whatever they say, because they make more money. Contradictions everywhere, the true liberal philosophy.

What medical professionals know about Ebola is absolutely relevant. The paranoid fears of the populace is not.
Stating you think Ebola spreads like the flu is like saying you think bread is a fruit.

I'm not a liberal, don't vote democratic and oppose pretty much everything Obama has ever done.
What I am is someone who understands what is and is not true about the Ebola virus.

So you're guaranteeing 100% accuracy on the information the medical community is providing to us? Awesome.
The medical community's opinion is more interesting than the populace. But opinion doesn't govern the disease. Not surprising a doctor doesn't get that.

That's a very uninformed statement. So, according to your expert medical analysis if an infected person sneezes on you, you can't contract Ebola? If you touch an infected surface you can't catch it? Am I understanding you correctly?

Leaving aside what political figures to blame I am dismayed at the CDC only now coming to the conclusion that they should have dropped a CDC team in there right away and that future patients should be treated at a specialized hospital.
I am not too concerned about a vast Ebola epidemic sweeping the country, though bloody diarrhea does sort of describe some of the SEC refs, but it is a bit unsettling to think that the CDC, the agency created to handle just these sort of situations, was caught with its pants down.

I don't blame Texas Presbyterian. I blame the incomplete training & insufficient protective gear provided.
