THERE IS NO LOGIC IN THEIR NEW TACTIC! BECAUSE SYMPTON DONT SHOW UNTIL 25 DAYS! SO MANY CAN HAVE IT AND NOT HAVE SYMTON UNTIL THEY ARE ALREADY IN THE COUNTY AND HAVE SPREAD IT!
Meaningless screenings since infected people don’t show symptoms for several weeks. The government is putting public perception & politics ahead of public health. If this continues there will be no turning back. At some point in the near future, we will have an outbreak here at home, if there isn’t one already because of this gross incompetence. Restrict inbound flights from infected regions of the world until this epidemic is under control.!
Another Duncan is coming. The chances are high, because there is no way to properly contain Ebola outside of the US if all these people are allowed entrance from infected areas. Just taking a temp is not an effective indicator due to the virus’s incubation period. The CDC knows there’s a chance, and what gets me is that considering the deadly nature of the virus, why take any chance at all?
Americans are sheep and Obama is your shepherd. Normally, a good Shepard will lead his sheep to safety. But the Shepard of Americans is leading his sheep to a mass grave. This is his intention. It is not by accident. It is in his every desire to destroy this country and the people within in.
That being said I ask for anyone reading this to pray. This country was with Jesus and Jesus was with this country since it was founded. But recently, we have turned our backs on him because we are so tangled up in our selfish desires. Humble yourself, pray for this country, your brother and sister, mother and father. Love is the greatest thing we can offer one another, according to the Holy Bible. And love for one another will be the only thing we have during these hard times and the hard times to come.
If your brother, sister, mother or father or any friend or stranger needs help, provide it. Put them first and yourself last unconditionally.
